Producing logs

Following the pattern from previous signals, we should be ready to get an instance of a log producer and start logging, right? Well, not quite – let's find out why.

Using LogEmitter

Using the same method that we used for metrics and tracing, we can now obtain LogEmitter, which will allow us to use the OpenTelemetry API to start producing logs. The following code shows us how to accomplish this using the get_log_emitter method:

logs.py

from opentelemetry.sdk._logs import (
    LogEmitterProvider,
    get_log_emitter_provider,
    set_log_emitter_provider,
)
if __name__ == "__main__":
    configure_log_emitter_provider()
    log_emitter = get_log_emitter_provider().get_log_emitter(
        "shopper",
        "0.1.2",
    ...
