LogSpot

Overview

LogSpot is a reusable Flask extension that simplifies log monitoring by exposing a built-in /logs route in any Flask application. It enables developers to view, filter, search, and download logs directly from the browser without setting up external logging dashboards.

Since logs may contain sensitive system data, I implemented authentication to restrict access and ensure secure observability.

The extension also provides a clean logging interface attached to the Flask app instance and supports real-time alerts via Telegram for critical errors.

Key Features

Core Functionalities

• Instant Log Viewer: Access logs via /logs route
• Filtering: Filter logs by severity (INFO, DEBUG, ERROR, etc.)
• Search: Keyword-based log search
• Pagination/Limit: Control number of log entries
• Download Logs: Export logs as .log file
• Simple Logging API: Direct methods like logger.info()
• Telegram Alerts: Notify on critical errors

How It Works

1. Setup → Initialize using setup_logs(app)
2. Route Injection → /logs endpoint automatically registered
3. Logging Interface → Methods attached to app instance
4. Log Processing → Store and filter logs dynamically
5. Alert System → Trigger Telegram notifications for critical logs

Example Usage

from flask import Flask
from logspot import setup_logs

app = Flask(__name__)

logger = setup_logs(app, service="resbot",telegram_chat_id=OWNER_CHAT_ID, telegram_bot_token=BOT_ID, logs_user="admin", logs_pass="1234")

@app.route("/")
def index():
    logger.info("Index page accessed")
    return "Hello, World!"
