# rocklogger

A simple and flexible logging utility for Python applications with singleton pattern support and intelligent log filtering.

### PyPI
https://pypi.org/project/rocklogger/

## Installation

```bash
pip install rocklogger
```

## Usage

### Basic Usage

```python
from rocklogger import Rocklogger

# Initialize the logger using the singleton pattern
# level can be 'info', 'debug', 'warning', or 'error'
logger = Rocklogger.get_instance(level='debug', use_date_in_filename=True).get_logger()

# Log messages at different levels
logger.debug('This is a debug message')
logger.info('This is an info message')
logger.warning('This is a warning message')
logger.error('This is an error message')
```

### Custom Log Directory

By default, log files are created in a 'logs' directory in the same location as your script. You can specify a custom base directory where the 'logs' folder will be created:

```python
import os
from rocklogger import Rocklogger

# Specify a custom base directory where the 'logs' folder will be created
custom_base_dir = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'my_application')
logger = Rocklogger.get_instance(level='debug', base_dir=custom_base_dir).get_logger()

# Logs will now be stored in 'my_application/logs/' directory
logger.info('This log is stored in a custom location')
```

### Log Files

By default, the logger creates two log files in a 'logs' directory in the same location as your script (or in your custom base directory if specified):
1. `your_script_name_YYYYMMDD.log` - Contains all log messages
2. `your_script_name_error_YYYYMMDD.log` - Contains only error level messages

If `use_date_in_filename` is set to `False`, the date will not be included in the filename.

### Logging Exceptions

```python
try:
    # Some code that might raise an exception
    result = 10 / 0
except Exception as e:
    logger.error(f"An error occurred: {e}", exc_info=True)
```

### Singleton Pattern

Rocklogger implements the singleton pattern, ensuring that only one logger instance exists across your application:

```python
# In your main script
from rocklogger import Rocklogger
logger = Rocklogger.get_instance(level='debug').get_logger()

# In another module
from rocklogger import Rocklogger
# This will use the same instance created in the main script
logger = Rocklogger.get_instance().get_logger()
```

Benefits:
- Ensures consistent logging configuration across your application
- Log files are named after the script that first created the logger
- Prevents multiple log file handlers from being created

#### Important Note About Process Isolation

The singleton pattern works within a single Python process. When modules are imported within the same process, they will share the same logger instance:

```python
# main.py
from rocklogger import Rocklogger
logger = Rocklogger.get_instance(level='debug').get_logger()
logger.info('Main script')

import module_a  # Will use the same logger instance
import module_b  # Will also use the same logger instance
```

However, if you run separate Python scripts as independent processes, each process will have its own singleton instance:

```bash
# These will create separate logger instances
python script1.py
python script2.py
```

For applications with multiple entry points, consider creating a central logging module that's imported by all other modules.

### Closing the Logger

When you're done with the logger, you can close it (optional):

```python
# This is automatically done when the Rocklogger instance is garbage collected
logger.close()
```

### Resetting the Logger (for testing)

If you need to reset the logger (mainly for testing purposes):

```python
Rocklogger.reset()
```

### Filtering Third-Party Library Logs

Rocklogger automatically filters out debug messages from common libraries that you might not be directly using. This prevents cluttering your logs with verbose internal messages from libraries like matplotlib, PIL, etc.

By default, the following modules are excluded from debug logs:
- matplotlib 
- PIL
- fontTools
- tensorflow
- torch
- numpy

You can add additional modules to filter when initializing:

```python
from rocklogger import Rocklogger

# Exclude additional modules at initialization
logger = Rocklogger.get_instance(
    level='debug',
    excluded_modules=['requests', 'urllib3', 'boto3']
).get_logger()

logger.debug('This debug message will appear')
# Debug messages from requests, urllib3, and boto3 will be filtered out
```

You can also add modules to filter dynamically:

```python
# Get the Rocklogger instance
rocklogger_instance = Rocklogger.get_instance()

# Add a module to filter
rocklogger_instance.add_excluded_module('pandas')
rocklogger_instance.add_excluded_module('sqlalchemy')

# Now debug messages from pandas and sqlalchemy will also be filtered
```

This feature is especially useful when:
- Working with data visualization libraries that generate verbose debug output
- Using machine learning frameworks that produce many internal messages
- Integrating with third-party APIs where you don't need to see their internal logging
