最近在用python
tornado开发一个app的服务端。投产的系统肯定需要包含日志功能，这里就自然想到了用python自带的logging库。
logging中日志内容的输出都交由Handler来实现，但是logging中的自带的Handler都不能满足我们的需求。
我们希望能按时间段分割日志，如果使用FileHandler日志只能保存在一个文件，到后期日志文件会非常大，读写都成问题；而TimedRotatingFileHandler虽然可分割日志但是多进程时可能会造成日志文件被相互覆盖，导致日志丢失。
如此我便开始踏上找寻合适Handler的路上。
首先尝试使用FileHandler，然后写个脚本（比如用supervisord）定时切分日志的方式。但这里有一个问题是日志文件会被正在运行FileHandler保持，无法重命名，日志还是会一直写到同一个文件，尝试失败。
然后尝试使用继承logging自带的切分文件处理TimedRotatingFileHandler再重写处理切分日志的方法。
这里使用了一个网友所写的类

最后经过验证还是会出现日志文件被覆盖的情况，这个方案又被自己给否定。
“文件式的Handler不能满足需求，要就尝试则用数据库存日志吧。” 经过以上的失败后这个想法在浮现在脑海。
要实现这个方式需要两个步骤；第一步，自定义一个Handler；第二步，选择一中数据库存放日志。
如何自定义一个Handler呢？这个可用用顺藤摸瓜的方式找到方案。
首先，到python
logging库中找到其自带的handler；对比找到一个自定义Handler最基本的约束，也就是找到其中最简单Handler的实现。
在handlers.py 文件下找到了最简单的SMTPHandler
其中getSubject只是给emit内部调用，所以很容易就得出实现自定义Handler的方式为：继承logging.Handler
然后再实现emit方法（写入日志时会调用）。
第一步已经实现，第二步就是选数据库了。
首先想选sqlite，查了一下其性能不太好，后面就尝试选mongodb。
在要自力更生的写一个之前，手贱的到网上一搜果然已经有人写好的mongodb handler，唉...

还好我发现了他的连接不支持mongodb 的主从模式和副本集模式。哈哈，找到了发泄我写代码情绪的地方了（虽然只写了两三行代码）。
mongodb_url=‘mongodb://192.168.10.200:10001,192.168.10.201:10001‘ handler=MongoHandler(url=mongodb_url) logger.addHandler(handler)
加上这几句就可以开始使用啦。
本来这应该算高一段落了，但我又想到了这个方案的缺欠——这个日志系统要依赖以数据库，而我们的日志系统是整个系统的基础模块，这个方案又不太合适了。
让我们回到最初的梦想，日志还是直接写到文件中，logging只带的不能有效的分割文件我们就自己写一个。
于是有了这一个完全自己写、支持按时间分割的Handler
#!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding:utf-8 -*- import logging import os,os.path import datetime _filefmt=os.path.join("logs","%Y-%m-%d","%H.log") class MyLoggerHandler(logging.Handler): def __init__(self,filefmt=None): self.filefmt=filefmt if filefmt is None: self.filefmt=_filefmt logging.Handler.__init__(self) def emit(self,record): msg=self.format(record) _filePath=datetime.datetime.now().strftime(self.filefmt) _dir=os.path.dirname(_filePath) try: if os.path.exists(_dir) is False: os.makedirs(_dir) except Exception: print "can not make dirs" print "filepath is "+_filePath pass try: _fobj=open(_filePath,‘a‘) _fobj.write(msg) _fobj.write("\n") _fobj.flush() _fobj.close() except Exception: print "can not write to file" print "filepath is "+_filePath pass
这里的思路是每次写日志完后马上释放文件的句柄，这样这多进程中就不会照成冲突了。当然这里还可以最一下优化就是先缓冲一部分内容、或一段时间再一次性写入（这个后面觉得性能不敢再做吧）。
回顾一下这个找寻合适Handler的过程，主要集中在三步。第一、确认python自带的handler不合适，第二、确认handler的自定义实现方式，第三、选择日志的存储载体（这里思路似乎走的有点远，远离了最初的设想）。值得欣慰的是这个过程终于可以告一段落了。
