+=====================
+Logging in production
+=====================
+
+Logging a deployment-specific environment
+=========================================
+
+Utilizing the setting :setting:`ENVIRONMENT` and either the logging filter
+``argus.logging.filters.EnvironmentFilter`` or the formatter
+``argus.logging.formatters.EnvironmentFormatter`` it is possible to add
+whatever is set in ``ENVIRONMENT`` to every line logged.
+
+``ENVIRONMENT`` can be set via the environment variable ``ARGUS_ENVIRONMENT``.
+
+Set it to for instance a hostname or ip address or pod name on deployment, to
+make it easy to filter out which logs come from which deployment if all logs
+end up at the same place.
+
+Configure the filter, for instance via the dict method, like so::
+
+    {
+        ..
+        "filters": {
+            ..
+            "environment": ["argus.logging.filters.EnvironmentFilter"],
+            ..
+        },
+        ..
+    }
+
+Configure the formatter, for instance via the dict method, like so::
+
+    {
+        ..
+        "formatters": {
+            ..
+            "environment": {
+                "()": "argus.logging.formatters.EnvironmentFormatter",
+                "format": "{environment} {levelname} {message}",
+                "style": "{",
+            },
+            ..
+        },
+        ..
+    }
+
+Pick one of the above.
+
+Structured logging with JSON
+============================
+
+By installing ``python-json-logger`` (for instance via ``pip install
+python-json-logger`` or ``pip install ".[jsonlogging]"`` and setting up logging formatters like this:
+
+::
+
+    "formatters": {
+        ..
+        "json": {
+            "()": "pythonjsonlogger.json.JsonFormatter",
+            "format": "asctime,name,funcName,levelname,message",
+            "style": ",",
+        },
+        ..
+    },
+
+With ``python-json-logger`` installed you can also use the formatter
+``argus.logging.formatters.JSONEnvironmentFormatter``.
