It provides two formatter classes\u2014LogstashFormatter and LogstashFormatterV1\u2014that output logs with structured fields like @timestamp, @version, and custom extra fields, making it easy to pipe Python application logs directly into Logstash for centralized log aggregation.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and integrates directly with Python's built-in logging module. You attach it as a formatter to any logging handler, and it automatically converts log messages to JSON with ISO 8601 timestamps, source host information, exception tracebacks when requested, and any custom fields you provide via the extra parameter or by passing dictionaries as messages.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last update 2018, last commit 2019) with no maintenance signal. While it has no known vulnerabilities and carries a permissive MIT license, the high install friction combined with lack of updates means compatibility with modern Python versions is uncertain. If you need JSON logging for Logstash, consider actively maintained alternatives."},"id":"logstash-formatter","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/logstash-formatter","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/logstash-formatter.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/logstash-formatter/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2018-02-13","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"logstash_formatter","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"JSON formatter meant for logstash"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":102934,"position":12835,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.17"}
