[systemd-devel] Journald logging handler for Python 3 and AsyncIO integration

[Ludovic Gasc]

Ok, my bad, I didn't see JournalHandler class to use with Python logging:
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/python-systemd/journal.html#journalhandler-class

Nevertheless, my question about communication between Python and journald
remains.

> Hi,

> With the new release of Debian Jessie and systemd+journald integration,
> I'm looking for how to modernize our Python 3 toolbox to build daemons.
>
> For now on Debian Wheezy, we use a SysLogHandler with UNIX socket:
> https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/logging.handlers.html#sysloghandler
> + a custom rsyslog+logrotate configuration to split and manage log files.
>
> From sysvinit to systemd migration to start our daemons, it should be
> easy, I've found this documentation:
> http://gunicorn-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/deploy.html#systemd
>
> But for journald, even if I can use syslog UNIX socket provided by
> journald, I want to benefit the features of journald, especially structured
> logs.

> I've seen the Python binding for journald:
> http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/python-systemd/journal.html
> Nevertheless, I've two questions:
>
>    1. I've seen no python logging handler for journald. Is it a desired
>    situation or it's because no time to implement that ? Could you be
>    interested in by an handler with journald ?
>    2. We use heavily AsyncIO module to have async pattern in Python,
>    especially for I/O: https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html
>    In the source code of python-systemd, I've seen that you use a C glue
>    to interact with journald, but I don't understand what's the communication
>    between my Python daemon process and journald: unix sockets ? Other
>    mechanism ? Depends on the mechanism, it should be have an impact for us.
>
> Thanks for your answers.

> Have a nice week-end.
