An open-source logging utility for reliable API-to-API log transport with modular plugin support.

`LogReel` is authored by [Simone Roma](https://github.com/devsimone), governed as a [benevolent dictatorship](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md), and distributed under [license](LICENSE).

## Introduction

In modern SaaS applications, logging is fundamentally different from traditional logging systems. SaaS applications expose APIs that must be periodically scraped to collect data, which is then stored in a logging system. Given the critical importance of logging for security and operational monitoring, any API logging service must ensure reliability and prevent data loss—even when remote systems experience temporary outages.

LogReel is a logging utility that simplifies API-based logging by fetching data from a source API and forwarding it to a destination API. It uses a cursor-based tracking mechanism to maintain continuity and prevent data duplication or loss. With its plugin-based architecture, users can easily create custom plugins to connect to different APIs, allowing LogReel to handle the continuous data collection and delivery.

## Features

- **Reliable API Logging**, tracks the last successful fetch with a cursor-based mechanism.
- **Plugin Architecture**, allows users to implement their own plugins for source and destination APIs.
- **Continuous Execution**, executes user-defined plugins in a continuous loop for real-time logging.
- **Containerised Deployment**, deployable using Compose or Kubernetes for scalability and IaC integration.

## Installation

Install using `pip install logreel` or `poetry add logreel`

## Quickstart

1. Create your LogReel user environment repo
2. Add the `logreel` package from pypi as a dependency
3. Define your plugins that implement the corresponding base classes
    ```python
    from logreel import SourcePlugin, DestinationPlugin

    class MySourcePlugin(SourcePlugin):
        ...

    class MyDestinationPlugin(DestinationPlugin):
        ...
    ```
   3. Register the plugins using corresponding entrypoints and explicitly include the plugins packages
       ```toml
       # pyproject.toml - example using Poetry
      
      [tool.poetry]
      ...
      
      packages = [
          { include = "plugins/source" },
          { include = "plugins/destination" }
      ]

      [tool.poetry.dependencies]
      logreel = "^0.2.0"
      ...

       [tool.poetry.plugins."logreel.sources"]
       my_source_plugin = "module_path:MySourcePlugin"

       [tool.poetry.plugins."logreel.destinations"]
       my_destination_plugin = "module_path:MyDestinationPlugin"

       ``` 
4. Create a docker compose file to run the service, using environment variables to specify the plugin names and parameters.

    ```yaml
    services:
      logreel_mysource_to_mydestination:
        build:
          context: .
        restart: always
        environment:
          - SOURCE_PLUGIN=my_source_plugin
          - DESTINATION_PLUGIN=my_destination_plugin
          - OTHER_PLUGIN_PARAMS_FOO=${FOO}
    ```


## Versioning

Releases will follow semantic versioning (major.minor.patch). Before 1.0.0 breaking changes can be included in a minor release, therefore we highly recommend pinning this package.
