Some code snippets showing how one could send logging output to a web page in Python
# web_page_logger.py
import logging
class WebPageHandler(logging.Handler):
def __init__(self):
logging.Handler.__init__(self)
self.messages = []
def emit(self, record):
self.messages.append(self.format(record))
def get_messages(self):
return self.messages
# Create a handler and add it to your loggers:
log_handler = WebPageHandler()
log_handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
log_handler.setFormatter(formatter)
logging.getLogger(__main__).addHandler(log_handler)
# Then, using Flask:
@app.before_request
def set_up_logging():
global log_handler
g.log_handler = log_handler
# And then in your Jinja2 template:
{% for message in g.log_handler.get_messages() %}
<p class='log'>{{ message }}</p>
{% endfor %}
# Not super pretty. There are other ways of doing this. But this works and is helpful.
