"""Log a structured log event.
A structured log event consists of a logging level, a string action, a
dictionary of attributes, and a formatting string.
The logging level is one of the logging.* constants, such as
logging.INFO.
The action string is essentially the enumeration of the event. Each
different type of logged event should have a different action.
The params dict is the metadata constituting the logged event.
The formatting string is used to convert the structured message back to
human-readable format. Conversion back to human-readable form is
performed by calling format() on this string, feeding into it the dict
of attributes constituting the event.
Example Usage
-------------
self.log(logging.DEBUG, 'login', {'username': 'johndoe'},
'User login: {username}')
