HYDRA-LOGGER

🚀 Professional Logging System

A dynamic, scalable, event-driven logging system built with KISS (Keep It Simple) principles: modular, zero-overhead when disabled, and extension-based.

🎯 Core Principles

KISS — simple, maintainable code; avoid over-engineering.
Event-Driven (Simplified) — direct method calls, loose coupling, async-ready.
Zero Overhead Extensions — default disabled; no runtime cost when off.
Standardization — consistent names, file patterns, method signatures, and configuration.

            ]
        )
    }
)

3. EXTENSION CONTROL

# Users can enable/disable and configure any extension
config = LoggingConfig(
    extensions={
        "security": {

🎨 CONSOLE COLORS SYSTEM

Professional Color Control

Hydra-Logger provides a sophisticated yet simple color system for console output. Colors are applied to log levels and layers for better readability and visual organization.

Color Features

Immediate Output: Colors display instantly without buffering delays
Level Colors: Each log level has its own distinct color
Layer Colors: Each layer gets its own color for easy identification
Simple Control: One boolean (use_colors=True/False) controls everything
Performance Optimized: Zero overhead when colors are disabled

Color Scheme

Log Levels:

DEBUG → Blue ([34m)
INFO → Green ([32m)
WARNING → Yellow ([33m)
ERROR → Red ([31m)
CRITICAL → Bright Red ([91m)

Layer Colors:

API → Bright Blue ([94m)
DATABASE → Blue ([34m)
SECURITY → Red ([31m)
PERFORMANCE → Yellow ([33m)
ERROR → Bright Red ([91m)
AUDIT → Green ([32m)
NETWORK → Bright Blue ([94m)
CACHE → Bright Yellow ([93m)
QUEUE → Magenta ([35m)
WEB → Green ([32m)
BATCH → Red ([31m)
TEST → Bright White ([97m)

Usage Examples

Basic Colored Logging:

from hydra_logger import create_logger
from hydra_logger.config import LoggingConfig, LogLayer, LogDestination

# Create logger with colors
config = LoggingConfig(
    layers={
        "app": LogLayer(
            destinations=[
                LogDestination(
                    type="console",
                    format="plain-text",
                    use_colors=True  # Enable colors
                )
            ]
        )
    }
)

logger = create_logger(config, logger_type="sync")

# All these will be colored
logger.debug("Debug message", layer="app")      # Blue DEBUG, Cyan app
logger.info("Info message", layer="app")        # Green INFO, Cyan app
logger.warning("Warning message", layer="app")  # Yellow WARNING, Cyan app
logger.error("Error message", layer="app")      # Red ERROR, Cyan app
logger.critical("Critical message", layer="app") # Bright Red CRITICAL, Cyan app

Multi-Layer Colored Logging:

# Different layers with different colors
config = LoggingConfig(
    layers={
        "api": LogLayer(
            destinations=[
                LogDestination(type="console", format="plain-text", use_colors=True)
            ]
        ),
        "database": LogLayer(
            destinations=[
                LogDestination(type="console", format="plain-text", use_colors=True)
            ]
        ),
        "security": LogLayer(
            destinations=[
                LogDestination(type="console", format="plain-text", use_colors=True)
            ]
        )
    }
)

logger = create_logger(config, logger_type="sync")

# Each layer will have its own color
logger.info("API request processed", layer="api")        # Green INFO, Bright Blue API
logger.info("Database query executed", layer="database") # Green INFO, Blue DATABASE
logger.warning("Security alert", layer="security")       # Yellow WARNING, Red SECURITY

Mixed Console and File Output:

# Console with colors, file without colors
config = LoggingConfig(
    layers={
        "app": LogLayer(
            destinations=[
                LogDestination(
                    type="console",
                    format="plain-text",
                    use_colors=True  # Colored console
                ),
                LogDestination(
                    type="file",
                    path="app.log",
                    format="plain-text"
                    # No use_colors for file (colors are console-only)
                )
            ]
        )
    }
)

logger = create_logger(config, logger_type="sync")
logger.info("This appears colored in console, plain in file", layer="app")

All Logger Types with Colors:

# SyncLogger with colors
sync_logger = create_logger(config, logger_type="sync")

# AsyncLogger with colors (for async contexts)
async_logger = create_async_logger(config, name="async")

# CompositeLogger with colors
composite_logger = create_composite_logger(config, name="composite")

# All support the same color system
sync_logger.info("Sync colored message", layer="app")
# async_logger.info("Async colored message", layer="app")  # In async context
composite_logger.info("Composite colored message", layer="app")

Disable Colors:

# Disable colors for clean output
config = LoggingConfig(
    layers={
        "app": LogLayer(
            destinations=[
                LogDestination(
                    type="console",
                    format="plain-text",
                    use_colors=False  # No colors
                )
            ]
        )
    }
)

logger = create_logger(config, logger_type="sync")
logger.info("This will be plain text without colors", layer="app")

Performance Notes

Zero Overhead: When use_colors=False, no color processing occurs
Immediate Output: Colors are written directly to console without buffering
Memory Efficient: Color codes are minimal and don't impact performance
Terminal Compatible: Works with all modern terminals that support ANSI colors

from hydra_logger.config import LoggingConfig

config = LoggingConfig(
    extensions={
        "data_protection": {
            "enabled": True,
            "redaction_patterns": ["password", "token"],
            "encryption_key": "your-key-here"
        },
    }
)

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

🚨 IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED (PRIORITY)

1) SECURITY ARCHITECTURE MIGRATION (BLOCKER) ✅ COMPLETED

2) EXTENSION SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION (FOUNDATION) ✅ COMPLETED

3) FACTORY INTEGRATION (HOW LOGGERS ARE CREATED) ✅ COMPLETED

4) HANDLER CONSISTENCY (CLEANUP) ✅ COMPLETED

Status: ✅ Completed - All handler files renamed and imports updated.

5) CONFIGURATION ALIGNMENT ✅ COMPLETED

6) ASYNC LOGGER & CONSOLE COLORS SYSTEM ✅ COMPLETED

🔧 REFINEMENTS NEEDED (SECONDARY) - FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS

Handler file renaming - Rename handler files to *_handler.py pattern for consistency
Update README / API docs - Add more extension usage examples and advanced configuration
Add comprehensive tests - Unit and integration tests for extension loader, enable/disable behavior
Performance optimizations - Further memory and performance optimizations for extension management
Advanced validation - More sophisticated extension configuration validation and conflict detection

Status: These are future enhancements that can be implemented as needed. The core system is fully functional.

🤔 ARCHITECTURE DISCUSSION (RESOLVED)

Engines Folder Location ✅ RESOLVED

Decision: The loggers/engines/ folder has been removed as part of the KISS principle refactoring.

Resolution:

Security Engine: Integrated directly into the extension system (extensions/security/data_redaction.py)
Simplified Architecture: Removed over-engineered engines folder
Cleaner Structure: Loggers now use extensions directly without intermediate engine layer
Better Performance: Eliminated unnecessary abstraction layer

Current Structure (Simplified):

loggers/
├── sync_logger.py
├── async_logger.py
├── composite_logger.py
└── base.py

extensions/
├── security/
│   └── data_redaction.py  # Contains security functionality
└── extension_manager.py    # Manages all extensions

Benefits:

✅ KISS Principle: Simpler, more direct architecture
✅ Better Performance: Fewer abstraction layers
✅ Easier Maintenance: Clear separation of concerns
✅ User Control: Direct extension control without engine complexity

🎯 COMPLETED (KEEP AS REFERENCE)

These items are implemented and should be left as completed in history (no action required):

✅ Formatter standardization (PlainText, JsonLines, CSV, Syslog, GELF, Logstash)
✅ Professional defaults and structured data support (extra, context)
✅ Core architecture cleanup and file reduction (100+ → ~47 files)
✅ Naming conventions and import standardization
✅ Zero linter errors and comprehensive formatter tests
