graypy-version-override.txt

in order to override the graypy version number, you need to use a filter which takes in the record... then override the version attribute:

    def filter(self, record):
        added_fields = dict(record.args)
        record.version = APP_VERSION # dynamically generated at module level
        record.company_name = added_fields.get('company_name', None)
        # add whatever data fields here we want to search by
        # record.does_not_exist = "DOES NOT EXIST TEST"
        return True

however, graypy will only look at the record if there is an attribute which is NOT one of the standard GELF format attributes such as version.

if you want to update the version, you need to pass a non-standard attribute:

    def filter(self, record):
        added_fields = dict(record.args)
        record.version = APP_VERSION # dynamically generated at module level
        record.company_name = added_fields.get('company_name', None)
        # add whatever data fields here we want to search by
        record.does_not_exist = "DOES NOT EXIST TEST"
        return True
