uWSGI has a very flexible logging system. You can create a log with just requests, and completely customize the format of the line.

On top of that, uWSGI supports creating multiple log targets, and supports logging directly into a UDP socket.

If you make it match InfluxDB's line format (https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.0/write_protocols/li...), and you set up InfluxDB to accept connections from a matching UDP socket, then uWSGI can essentially log every request directly into influx.

Like this for example:

    logformat = uwsgirequest,host="%(host)",status=%(status) msecs=%(msecs),size=%(size) %(epoch)000000000
    logger = file:/var/logs/uwsgi/uwsgi.log
    req-logger = file:/var/logs/uwsgi/requests.log
    req-logger = socket:127.0.0.1:8083

With that, you can create nice graphs with Grafana to analyze your loading times, error rates, page sizes etc:

You can also set up Kapacitor to identify when your page load times are abnormally increasing. We had the idea after a database connection leak increased our average loading times by 300%.

Do note that this doesn't batch inputs, so 1 request = 1 connection to influx. But it's pretty easy to put a middleware agent in between those to do validation and batching.

The nice thing about all this is it's application level timing metrics. There's not a lot of ways to get that, except with application middleware which can't always catch everything you want.
