Question

Is there any tools that catches python logging (socket or http) handlers’ reports, and serves a http service so that I can check my logs through a http page?

Thanks

Finally… I found a working server that will do the job…

LoggingWebMonitor

UPDATE

I found Sentry on github, It seems more sophiscated and production-ready.

There are many to tools to easily create simple RESTful HTTP webservices. My favorite is itty.

from itty import get, run_itty
import glob, gzip, json, os, functools

def jsonify(origfunc):
    @functools.wraps(origfunc)
    def wrapper(*args, **kwds):
        result = origfunc(*args, **kwds)
        return json.dumps(result, indent=4)
    return wrapper

@get('/logs')
@jsonify
def list_logfiles(request):
    return glob.glob('/var/log/myserver/*.gz')

@get('/logs/(?P<name>\w+)')
def show_logfile(request, name):
    fullname = os.path.join('/var/log/myserver', name)
    with gzip.open(fullname, 'rb') as f:
        return f.read()

run_itty(host='localhost', port=8080)
