        metlog-py is a Python client for the "Metlog" system of application logging and
        metrics gathering developed by the `Mozilla Services
        <https://wiki.mozilla.org/Services>`_ team. The Metlog system is meant to make
        life easier for application developers with regard to generating and sending
        logging and analytics data to various destinations. It achieves this goal (we
        hope!) by separating the concerns of message generation from those of message
        delivery and analysis. Front end application code no longer has to deal
        directly with separate back end client libraries, or even know what back end
        data storage and processing tools are in use. Instead, a message is labeled
        with a type (and possibly other metadata) and handed to the Metlog system,
        which then handles ultimate message delivery.
        
        The Metlog system consists of three pieces:
        
        generator
          This is the application that will be generating the data that is to be sent
          into the system.
        
        router
          This is the initial recipient of the messages that the generator will be
          sending. Typically, a metlog router deserializes the messages it receives,
          examines them, and decides based on the message metadata or contents which
          endpoint(s) to which the message should be delivered.
        
        endpoints
          Different types of messages lend themselves to different types of
          presentation, processing, and analytics. The router has the ability to
          deliver messages of various types to destinations that are appropriate for
          handling those message types. For example, simple log messages might be
          output to a log file, while counter timer info is delivered to a `statsd
          <https://github.com/etsy/statsd>`_ server, and Python exception information
          is sent to a `Sentry <https://github.com/dcramer/sentry>`_ server.
        
        The metlog-py library you are currently reading about is a client library meant
        to be used by Python-based generator applications. It provides a means for
        those apps to insert messages into the system for delivery to the router and,
        ultimately, one or more endpoints.
        
        More information about how Mozilla Services is using Metlog (including what is
        being used for a router and what endpoints are in use / planning to be used)
        can be found on the relevant `spec page
