what would the raw json log line look like?

In the Message column in Observability, the raw column looks like:

WARNING - message

And, if I use: logger.error("message", extra={"context": "something"}), it will look like:

ERROR - message

In both cases, the log appears as "INFO" in the histogram, and if I click on the plus sign, to see details, i can see deployment, replica, service… but not my extra field, context.

please send the raw json output of these logger functions, railway will not show you the raw log if it's json

Sorry Brody, I think I dont understand.

What do you mean by raw json output? The logger function in python seems to be outputing only a "raw" string: "ERROR - message", but not a JSON.

Thanks in advance

an example of what a raw json log message would look like would be this

{"time": "2010-01-01 12:34:56.0000", "level": "INFO", "message": "hello, world", "extra": {"context": "something"}}

run your app locally, if you don't see a raw json message like this in your terminal, Railway will not be able to properly parse your log attributes into a structure that you can look through in the log's context.

Okay, so, if I manage to log a formatted json like that, is there any rules I have to follow so Railway is able to parse it?

Like naming conventions, or something like that?

time, message / msg, and a level attribute are all that's needed, besides of course being fully valid json

Okay, will try it out. Thank you so much!

Hello!

I know it has been 3 months but this may help someone: "The extra parameter is just ignored by the standard formatter."

You have to set a custom formatter if logging into the terminal and you want to see the arguments passed to the "extra" parameter, check this SO QA thread for extra info:
