QUESTION
I am using Python logging library to push logs to splunk. This package use HEC method to push logs to splunk.
Issue I am facing is that out of many logger statements in my application, I want selectively only few logger statements to splunk not all. So i created one method below method which converts string logs in json (key/value) and pushes into splunk. So I am calling this method just after the logger statement I wish to push to splunk. But rest all the logger statements which i dont wish to send to splunk they are also getting pushed to splunk.
Why is this happening?

Answered 2021-Dec-13 at 03:41I believe that the problem is with your calls to logging.getLogger, namely when you're configuring your app logger, you're specifying a logger name, but when you're configuring the splunk logger, you're not specifying any and therefore getting, configuring, and attaching the SplunkHandler to the root logger.
As events come in to the lower level loggers by default they propagate their events to higher level loggers (e.g. the root logger) and thus get emitted to Splunk.
I suspect an easy solution would be to look at your logger names... possibly put the Splunk logger at a lower level than your component? or look into the propagation of loggers. The same docs page linked above talks a bit about logger objects and their propagation.
QUESTION
How can we push Python Application logs to Splunk. what are the prerequisite.Should we first convert out logs in structured format(key-value based) before sending to Splunk?
There is a package splunk_handler for pushing logs to splunk but i could not found any documentation with practical working example.I just have gitbub page for this package but that does not have any practical implementation.
Please help on this
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Nov-15 at 13:06There are a couple of ways to do that. The first is to install Splunk's Universal Forwarder (UF) and have it monitor the file(s) where the logs are written. The UF will handle sending the logs to Splunk. You do not have to convert the logs, but may have to configure Splunk to interpret them correctly.
The second method is to send the logs directly to Splunk's HTTP Event Collector (HEC). There is a Python class to do that available on GitHub at https://github.com/georgestarcher/Splunk-Class-httpevent .

You can use splunk_handler like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
