Integration with Python Web Frameworks

The Google Cloud Logging library can integrate with Python web frameworks flask and django to automatically populate LogEntry fields trace, span_id, trace_sampled, and http_request.

Django

Django integration has been tested to work with each of the Django/Python versions listed here. To enable Django integration, add google.cloud.logging_v2.handlers.middleware.RequestMiddleware to the list of MIDDLEWARE in your settings file. Also be sure to set up logging in your settings file.

Flask

Flask integration has been tested to work with the following versions of Flask:

  • Python 3.7 - 3.9:
  • Flask >=1.0.0
  • Python >=3.10:
  • Flask >=1.0.3

Be sure to set up logging before declaring the Flask app.
