From c8b0d8b1ae0a074d9c32b3171a610d18b000ba69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Supul Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2026 17:18:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] feat(logging): add ECS logging support via LITELLM_ECS_LOGS env var Add ECSFormatter to litellm/_logging.py that emits logs conforming to Elastic Common Schema v8.x. The existing JsonFormatter output does not map to ECS field names (@timestamp, log.level, log.origin.*, etc.), so ECS consumers (Elastic Stack, Datadog ECS mode, etc.) cannot ingest litellm logs without a custom pipeline transform. Changes: - ECSFormatter class: produces @timestamp (UTC ISO-8601 with ms), nested log.{level,logger,origin.file.{name,line},origin.function}, message, service.name, ecs.version, and error.{type,message,stack_trace} on exceptions. Extra fields from logger(..., extra={}) pass through at the top level, excluding ECS reserved keys. - LITELLM_ECS_LOGS=true env var: activates ECS formatting at startup. Takes precedence over JSON_LOGS since ECS is a superset of structured JSON. LITELLM_SERVICE_NAME can override the service.name field (default: litellm). - _turn_on_ecs(): public function to switch all litellm loggers to ECS format at runtime, safe to call multiple times. - litellm/sitecustomize.py: a drop-in file for the Python environment's site-packages that applies ECS logging before any application code runs when LITELLM_ECS_LOGS=true is set. Zero code changes required. - 7 new regression tests covering field structure, timestamp format, lowercase level, error fields, extra passthrough, reserved key collision, and integration via _turn_on_ecs(). --- litellm/_logging.py | 94 ++++++++++++++++-- litellm/sitecustomize.py | 34 +++++++ tests/test_litellm/test_logging.py | 151 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 270 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) create mode 100644 litellm/sitecustomize.py diff --git a/litellm/_logging.py b/litellm/_logging.py index 6b99f50e014..7f21b1f2da4 100644 --- a/litellm/_logging.py +++ b/litellm/_logging.py @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ import ast import logging import os import sys -from datetime import datetime +from datetime import datetime, timezone from logging import Formatter from typing import Any, Dict, Optional @@ -82,6 +82,7 @@ _secret_filter = SecretRedactionFilter() json_logs = bool(os.getenv("JSON_LOGS", False)) +ecs_logs = os.getenv("LITELLM_ECS_LOGS", "").lower() == "true" # Create a handler for the logger (you may need to adapt this based on your needs) log_level = os.getenv("LITELLM_LOG", "DEBUG") numeric_level: str = getattr(logging, log_level.upper()) @@ -196,6 +197,72 @@ class JsonFormatter(Formatter): return safe_dumps(json_record) +_ECS_RESERVED_KEYS = frozenset( + {"@timestamp", "log", "message", "service", "ecs", "error"} +) + + +class ECSFormatter(Formatter): + """Formats log records according to Elastic Common Schema (ECS) v8.x. + + Enables structured log ingestion into the Elastic Stack and other ECS-aware + platforms.
