  • Share this:

Code introduction


This function randomly selects and returns a GELF (Graylog Extended Log Format) handler from the Graylog third-party library. GELF is a binary log format optimized for log transmission and storage. The function uses `random.choice` to randomly select between GELFHandler and GelfUdpHandler, then creates an instance of the corresponding handler based on the choice.
