It provides five handler classes\u2014GELFUDPHandler, GELFTCPHandler, GELFTLSHandler, GELFHTTPHandler, and GELFRabbitHandler\u2014each supporting a different transport mechanism. The library automatically includes debugging fields (function name, process ID, thread name) in logs and supports custom fields via LoggerAdapter or Filter classes. It also handles exception tracebacks and GELF UDP message chunking with configurable overflow behavior.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies for basic UDP/TCP/HTTP use, making it lightweight to install. Optional AMQP support for RabbitMQ-based log forwarding requires the amqp extra. However, the project is dormant\u2014the last release was in September 2019 and the last repository commit in October 2023\u2014so it receives no active maintenance and may not work reliably with recent Graylog or Python versions.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you have a stable, older Graylog deployment and do not need active maintenance. The package is simple, dependency-free for basic use, and permissively licensed. No, if you require support for recent Python versions, current Graylog API changes, or active bug fixes\u2014the dormant status since 2019 means you are on your own for compatibility issues."},"id":"graypy","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/graypy","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/graypy.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/graypy/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-09-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"graypy","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python logging handlers that send messages in the Graylog Extended Log Format (GELF)."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":561493,"position":5994,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.1.0"}
