• New talisker.testing module, which has helpers for functionally testing talisker servers and related talisker tools.

• Added a functional test suite using the new talisker.testing helpers

• Custom ruby logstash filter to handle parsing of numeric values and escaped quotes.

0.9.5 (2017-05-23)

• add support for postgresql via psycopg2 (#85). This will add breadcrumbs to sentry reports, as slow query logs. See http://talisker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/postgresql.html for more info

• Access log cleanups (#94). We no longer include the querystring in the logmsg, just as a field.

• Improved proxy handling in private endpoints. (#92). Fixes X-Forwarder-For handling.

• Clear sentry context on request start (#90). This stops some breadcrumbs bleeding between requests.

• Fix sentry default config when used with flask (#89). This was causing release tag to not be applied to sentry reports.

• truncate long log messages (#86). This prevents DOSing logstash.

0.9.4 (2017-04-25)

• require explicit DEVEL env var to enable colored output.

• Add ability to force switch colors off with TALISKER_COLOR=no

• Fix bug in grok filter to allow _ in logger name

• Drop log tags that are empty, as logstash can’t cope with them

• Truncate very long log messages and tags (at 10k/2k respectively) to avoid accidental DOS.

0.9.3 (2017-04-13)

• Fix gunicorn logger metrics and logging, adding tests (#75)

0.9.2 (2017-04-11)

Bug fix release

• Fix celery metrics with eager tasks (#70)

• Fix statsd cli args and metric format (#71)

• Also fix depencecies on recent setuptools

0.9.1 (2017-03-23)

This release has a couple of important bugfixes, upgrading is strongly encouraged.

• Feature: Add a generic script runner to run any python script with talisker logging, primary usecase is django managment commands:

  talisker.run myscript.py …

• Improvement: DEVEL env var is no longer required (although still respected). Talisker will assume DEVEL mode when stderr is a tty.

• Bugfix: re-add http metrics for gunicorn which were accidentaly dropped in a refactor, with regression tests

• Bugfix: fix celery integration with 3.1.13+, with regression tests

• Bugfix: Add missing request_id to new accesslogs

• Bugfix: Fix issue #35, respect –log-level for gunicorn in DEVEL mode. This means you can do –log-devel=debug and get debug level logging to your console.

• Improvement: support raven 6

• Testing: now testing against pypy in CI, and also agains the minimum supported versions of various dependencies too, to help prevent further accidental dependencies on latest version apis (which is what broke celery 3.1.x integration)

0.9.0 (2017-01-24)

The major feature in this release is support for sentry, which is integrated with wsgi, logging, and celery. Also supports opt-in integration with flask and django, see the relevant docs for more info.

Other changes

• refactor of how logging contexts were implemented. More flexible and reliable. Note talisker.logs.extra_logging and talisker.logs.set_logging_context are now deprecated, you should use talisker.logs.logging_context and talisker.logs.logging_context.push, respectively, as covered in the updated logging docs.

• improved celery logging, tasks logs now have task_id and task_name automatically added to their logs.

• improved logging messages when parsing TALISKER_NETWORKS at startup

0.8.0 (2016-12-13)

• prometheus: add optinal support for promethues_client

• celery: request id automatically sent and logged, and support for 4.0

• docs: initial ‘talisker contract’

• statsd: better client initialisation

• internal: refactoring of global variables, better /_status/ url dispatch

0.7.1 (2016-11-09)

• remove use of future’s import hooks, as they mess with raven’s vendored imports

• slight tweak to logfmt serialisation, and update docs to match

0.7.0 (2016-11-03)

Upgrading

This release includes a couple of minor backwards incompatible changes:

1. access logs now use the talisker format, rather than CLF. See the docs for more info. If you are using access logs already, then the easiest upgrade path is to output the access logs to stderr (access_logfile=”-“), and delete your old log files.

2. talisker no longer prefixes developer supplied tags with ‘svc.’. This should only matter if you’ve already set up dashboards or similar with the old prefixed name, and you will need to remove the prefix

Changes:

• access logs now in logfmt rather than CLF

• dummy statsd client is now useful in testing

• logs are colored in development, to aid reading

• the ‘svc’ prefix for tags has been removed

0.6.7 (2016-10-05)

• actually include the encoding fix for check endpoint

0.6.6 (2016-10-05)

• add celery metrics

• fix issue with encoding in check endpoint when iterable

0.6.5 (2016-09-26)

• make celery runner actually work, wrt logging

0.6.4 (2016-09-23)

• fix encoding issue with X-Request-Id header (again!)

0.6.3 (2016-09-21)

• fix setuptools entry points, which were typoed into oblivion.

0.6.2 (2016-09-21)

• make gunicorn use proper statsd client

• log some extra warnings if we try to configure gunicorn things that talisker overides.

• better documented public api via __all__

• first take on some celery helpers

• some packaging improvements

0.6.1 (2016-09-12)

• actually do remove old DEBUGLOG backups, as backupCount=0 does not remove any. Of course.

0.6.0 (2016-09-09)

• Propagate gunicorn.error log, and remove its default handler.

This allows consistant logging, making the choice in all cases that your gunicorn logs go to the same stream as your other application log, making the choice in all cases that your gunicorn logs go to the same stream as your other application logs.

We issue a warning if the user tries to configure errorlog manually, as it won’t work as expected.
