Create a log stream

First, we'll need to create a log stream. This is a one time operation, and we recommend storing log entries with same schema in a single log stream. So, for example, you can use one log stream per application (given that all logs from that application have the same schema).

import requests

# TODO: Replace the url with your Parseable URL and stream name
url = "https://<parseable-url>/api/v1/logstream/<stream-name>"
payload = {}

headers = {
# TODO: Replace the basic auth credentials with your Parseable credentials
"Authorization": "Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4="
}

response = requests.request("PUT", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)

Send logs to the log stream

After log stream is created, you can start sending logs to the log stream using HTTP POST requests.

import requests
import json

# TODO: Replace the url with your Parseable URL and stream name
url = "https://<parseable-url>/api/v1/logstream/<stream-name>"

payload = json.dumps(
[
{
"id": "434a5f5e-2f5f-11ed-a261-asdasdafgdfd",
"datetime": "24/Jun/2022:14:12:15 0000",
"host": "153.10.110.81",
"user-identifier": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0",
"method": "PUT",
"status": 500,
"referrer": "http://www.google.com/",
}
]
)

headers = {
# INFO: Use X-P-META-<key>:<value> to add custom metadata to the log event
"X-P-META-Host": "192.168.1.3",
# INFO: Use X-P-TAG-<key>:<value> to add tags to the log event
"X-P-TAG-Language": "python",
# TODO: Replace the basic auth credentials with your Parseable credentials
"Authorization": "Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
print(response.text)

Querying a log stream

Once you have started sending logs to a log stream, you can query the logs using standard SQL.

import requests
import json

# TODO: Replace the url with your Parseable URL
url = "https://<parseable-url>/api/v1/query"

payload = json.dumps(
{
# TODO: Replace the stream name with your log stream name
"query": "select * from <stream-name>",
# TODO: Replace the time range with your desired time range
"startTime": "2022-09-10T08:20:00+00:00",
"endTime": "2022-09-10T08:20:31+00:00"
}
)
headers = {
# TODO: Replace the basic auth credentials with your Parseable credentials
"Authorization": "Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)
