It provides three interfaces: a direct FluentSender API for explicit event emission, an event-based wrapper for global sender setup, and a Python logging.Handler integration for use with the standard logging module. The library serializes events using msgpack and communicates over TCP to a Fluentd/Fluent Bit daemon, supporting both second and nanosecond timestamp precision.\n\nThe package is designed for applications generating high volumes of event logs (login, logout, purchase, follow events, etc.) where centralized analysis is valuable. It handles connection failures gracefully with optional buffer overflow handlers, allows custom log formatting, and supports asynchronous communication. The library requires Python 3.7 or later and depends only on msgpack for serialization.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already running Fluentd or Fluent Bit and need a straightforward Python client to send structured events. The package is stable, has low install friction, and integrates cleanly with Python's logging module. The dormant maintenance status is not a blocker for stable use, but verify compatibility with your Fluentd/Fluent Bit version and monitor the repository for security updates."},"id":"fluent-logger","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/fluent-logger","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/fluent-logger.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/fluent-logger/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-06-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"fluent-logger","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Python logging handler for Fluentd event collector"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2255102,"position":3186,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.11.1"}
