+Imparting contextual information in handlers
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Each :class:`~Handler` has its own chain of filters.
+If you want to add contextual information to a :class:`LogRecord` without leaking
+it to other handlers, you can use a filter that returns
+a new :class:`~LogRecord` instead of modifying it in-place, as shown in the following script::
+
+ import copy
+ import logging
+
+ def filter(record: logging.LogRecord):
+ record = copy.copy(record)
+ record.user = 'jim'
+ return record
+
+ if __name__ == '__main__':
+ logger = logging.getLogger()
+ logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
+ handler = logging.StreamHandler()
+ formatter = logging.Formatter('%(message)s from %(user)-8s')
+ handler.setFormatter(formatter)
+ handler.addFilter(filter)
+ logger.addHandler(handler)
+
+ logger.info('A log message')
.. _multiple-processes:
.. method:: filter(record)
- Is the specified record to be logged? Returns zero for no, nonzero for
- yes. If deemed appropriate, the record may be modified in-place by this
- method.
+ Is the specified record to be logged? Returns falsy for no, truthy for
+ yes. Filters can either modify log records in-place or return a completely
+ different record instance which will replace the original
+ log record in any future processing of the event.
Note that filters attached to handlers are consulted before an event is
emitted by the handler, whereas filters attached to loggers are consulted
parameter. The returned value should conform to that returned by
:meth:`~Filter.filter`.
+.. versionchanged:: 3.12
+ You can now return a :class:`LogRecord` instance from filters to replace
+ the log record rather than modifying it in place. This allows filters attached to
+ a :class:`Handler` to modify the log record before it is emitted, without
+ having side effects on other handlers.
+
Although filters are used primarily to filter records based on more
sophisticated criteria than levels, they get to see every record which is
processed by the handler or logger they're attached to: this can be useful if
Determine if a record is loggable by consulting all the filters.
The default is to allow the record to be logged; any filter can veto
- this and the record is then dropped. Returns a zero value if a record
- is to be dropped, else non-zero.
+ this by returning a falsy value.
+ If a filter attached to a handler returns a log record instance,
+ then that instance is used in place of the original log record in
+ any further processing of the event by that handler.
+ If a filter returns any other truthy value, the original log record
+ is used in any further processing of the event by that handler.
+
+ If none of the filters return falsy values, this method returns
+ a log record.
+ If any of the filters return a falsy value, this method returns
+ a falsy value.
.. versionchanged:: 3.2
Allow filters to be just callables.

+ .. versionchanged:: 3.12
+ Allow filters to return a LogRecord instead of
