Micropython library for sending logs to Loki

The library can be installed using upip or mip. Ensure that the device is connected to the network.

import upip
upip.install('micropython-loki')

import mip
mip.install('github:olivergregorius/micropython_loki/micropython_loki.py')

NOTE: Set the release_version variable accordingly.

import mip
release_version='vX.Y.Z'
mip.install(f'https://github.com/olivergregorius/micropython_loki/releases/download/{release_version}/micropython_loki.mpy')

This library provides two methods for

1. adding log messages to the stack (log) and
2. pushing the logs to a Loki instance (push_logs).

NOTE: Each log message is applied with the current system's timestamp. Please be sure the RTC of the device is set correctly.

At first the Loki-instance must be initialized providing the Loki base-URL:

from micropython_loki import Loki

loki = Loki('https://loki.example.org:3100')

The following additional arguments may be provided:

The following example creates a Loki-instance for calling the Loki-API at 'https://loki.example.org:3100', adding the labels 'app: important-app' and 'version: 1.0.0' to each log message, setting the default log level to 'INFO', setting the timeout to 5 seconds, setting the max stack size to 20 and only pushing logs to Loki with LogLevel.WARN or LogLevel.ERROR.

from micropython_loki import Loki, LogLabel, LogLevel

loki = Loki('https://loki.example.org:3100', [LogLabel('app', 'important-app'), LogLabel('version', '1.0.0')], LogLevel.INFO, 5, 20, LogLevel.WARN)

To add a log message to the log-stack the method log is called, it takes the arguments message (required) containing the log message and log_level (optional) for setting the log level for that log message:

...
loki.log('Calling do_something')
result = do_something()

if result == 1:
    loki.log('Something went wrong', LogLevel.WARN)
...

The example above adds one log message of level 'INFO' (as set by default during Loki instantiation, the LogLevel can be omitted in the log call) and one log message of level 'WARN' (in case the value of result is 1).

Convenience methods have been added to simplify adding log messages to the stack:

loki.debug('Message with LogLevel.DEBUG')
loki.info('Message with LogLevel.INFO')
loki.warn('Message with LogLevel.WARN')
loki.error('Message with LogLevel.ERROR')

To push the logs to Loki push_logs is called, this method takes no arguments:

...
loki.push_logs()
...
