.... Yes, I could do it this way.

But somehow I am not happy with this solution.

I think the filtering should be outside of python.

I like DevOp, but sometimes clear responsibilities help to
cut big problems into smaller ones.

I would like to handle the log message filtering outside of python.

Can you understand my concerns?
