Im having a bad day. The logging module refused to send anything to
syslog no matter what I did, so discovering the syslog module &
thought, for what I need I will write a simple class to do the job.
class kmotion_logger:
def __init__(self, ident, min_priority):
# min_priority must be one of ...
# EMERG, ALERT, CRIT, ERR, WARNING, NOTICE, INFO, DEBUG
self.case = {'EMERG': syslog.LOG_EMERG,
'ALERT': syslog.LOG_ALERT,
'CRIT': syslog.LOG_CRIT,
'ERR': syslog.LOG_ERR,
'WARNING': syslog.LOG_WARNING,
'NOTICE': syslog.LOG_NOTICE,
'INFO': syslog.LOG_INFO,
'DEBUG': syslog.LOG_DEBUG}
self.ident = ident
print 'log up to & inclusive of ... ', self.case[min_priority]
syslog.setlogmask(syslog.LOG_UPTO(self.case[min_priority]))
def log(self, msg, priority):
print 'sending message at level ...', self.case[priority]
syslog.openlog(self.ident , syslog.LOG_PID,
(self.case[priority] | syslog.LOG_USER))
syslog.syslog(msg)
syslog.closelog()
And call it with ...
import kmotion_logger
# EMERG, ALERT, CRIT, ERR, WARNING, NOTICE, INFO, DEBUG
logger = kmotion_logger.kmotion_logger("kmotion", "DEBUG")
logger.log("TESTING", "ALERT")
And it worked as I wanted, it logs to syslog (cheers, jumps for joy) :)
Then I noticed several inconsistencys, the following also works AOK ...
import kmotion_logger
# EMERG, ALERT, CRIT, ERR, WARNING, NOTICE, INFO, DEBUG
logger = kmotion_logger.kmotion_logger("kmotion", "INFO")
logger.log("TESTING", "ALERT")
But the next one fails to log ...
import kmotion_logger
# EMERG, ALERT, CRIT, ERR, WARNING, NOTICE, INFO, DEBUG
logger = kmotion_logger.kmotion_logger("kmotion", "NOTICE")
logger.log("TESTING", "ALERT")
ALERT is above NOTICE & should log .... I am suspicious of
'(self.case[priority] | syslog.LOG_USER)' although it looks right and
have tried LOG_LOCAL6 etc but still no joy
I have even tried explaining it to my cat, no joy
Any ideas anyone ?
Cheers
A very log frustrated programmer
