vlogger

import "github.com/F5Networks/k8s-bigip-ctlr/pkg/vlogger"

Package vlogger implements an interface around basic logging features so that end-user and library writers can code to the interface without worrying about the specific type of logging package that is being used.

LIBRARY USAGE

To support logging in a user-defined library, you need to include the vlogger package. Once that is included, you can simply call one of the following package-level functions:

func Debug(msg string)
func Debugf(format string, params ... interface{})
func Info(msg string)
func Infof(format string, params ... interface{})
func Warning(msg string)
func Warningf(format string, params ... interface{})
func Error(msg string)
func Errorf(format string, params ... interface{})
func Critical(msg string)
func Criticalf(format string, params ... interface{})
func Fatal(msg string)
func Fatalf(format string, params ... interface{})
func Panic(msg string)
func Panicf(format string, params ... interface{})
APPLICATION USAGE

Logging in the main application is similar to logging in a library. However, additional steps must be taken to setup and breakdown the vlogger.

When creating an application, you should specify the concrete vlogger that you would like to use in your main module's init function. This will guarantee that the vlogger will be available for any library that supports vlogger (otherwise logging will default to the console).

The following types of loggers are currently provided as subpackages:

func NewConsoleLogger() Logger
func NewSyslogLogger(facility syslog.Priority, progname string) Logger
func NewSeelogLogger(filename string) Logger
func NewLogrusLogger() Logger

The first two use standard GO packages to implement logging. The last two uses more sophisticated third-party library that supports features such as multiple logging streams and various levels of filtering. Logging using these last two packages can be directed to any combination of outputs including syslog. Users can also provide their own implementations by adhering to the vlogger interface.

Some logging subpackages have an extended version of the New function that provides additional customization of that particular logger. These functions end with an 'Ext' suffix (for instance, NewConsoleLoggerExt).

Logger types need to be registered for use by the vlogger package-level functions using the following call:

func RegisterLogger(minLogLevel, maxLogLevel, Logger)

The RegisterLogger function allows you to use different loggers for different log levels (for instance, sending critical messages to a blocking logger while sending all other messages to a non-blocking version).

For proper cleanup, the main routine should have a defer statement that calls the vlogger Close() function:

func Close()
LOG LEVELS

To control the global logging level, several package level functions are provided:

SetLogLevel(level LogLevel)
GetLogLevel() LogLevel

The following log levels are currently defined (do not make an assumption of the values assigned to these constants):

LL_DEBUG
LL_INFO
LL_WARNING
LL_ERROR
LL_CRITICAL

Two related defines can also be used (mainly as a convenience for logger registration):

LL_MIN_LEVEL
LL_MAX_LEVEL

Note that certain concrete packages will have their own fine-grained filtering for logging. However, the package-level controls will supercede these finer controls.

COMPATIBILITY ISSUES

Log levels do not always map 1-to-1 with the underlying 3rd-party logging library. The issues mainly involve the LL_CRITICAL level. Packages that do not provide this level will be mapped to LL_ERROR.

EXAMPLE

The following is a simple example of an application that sends several log statements to the console:

    package main

    import (
      log  "github.com/F5Networks/k8s-bigip-ctlr/pkg/vlogger"
      "github.com/F5Networks/k8s-bigip-ctlr/pkg/vlogger/console"

    func init() {
      // Log all messages to the user's console
      log.RegisterLogger(log.LL_MIN_LEVEL, log.LL_MAX_LEVEL, console.NewConsoleLogger())
      // only report errors at the LL_INFO level and above
      log.SetLogLevel(log.LL_INFO)
    }

    func main() {
      defer log.Close()

      log.Debug("This debug message won't print");
      log.Info("This is an info message")
      log.Warning("This is a warning message")
      log.Errorf("This is an error message with %v", "formatting")
      log.Criticalf("This is a critical message %v formatting", "with")
      log.Fatal("This is a fatal message")
      log.Info("This will never print due to log.Fatal() causing the application to exit")
    }
MODULES

log.go:

This module provides the generic interface that end-user libraries and apps should program to.

Usage

func RegisterLogger
func RegisterLogger(minLogLevel, maxLogLevel LogLevel, log Logger)

RegisterLogger must be called to map a concrete logger object with each log level.

func Close
func Close()

Close informs the configured loggers that they are being closed and should cleanup (for instance, flushing any queued log messages)

func Panic
func Panic(msg string)

Panic sends a CRITICAL message to the logger object and then calls panic. NOTE: This call should not be made in packages that are meant to serve as libraries for other developers.

func Panicf
func Panicf(format string, params ...interface{})

Panicf sends a formatted CRITICAL message to the logger object and then calls panic. NOTE: This call should not be made in packages that are meant to serve as libraries for other developers.

func Fatal
func Fatal(msg string)

Fatal sends a CRITICAL message to the logger object and then exits. NOTE: This call should not be made in packages that are meant to serve as libraries for other developers.

func Fatalf
func Fatalf(format string, params ...interface{})

Fatalf sends a formatted CRITICAL message to the logger object and then exits. NOTE: This call should not be made in packages that are meant to serve as libraries for other developers.

func Critical
func Critical(msg string)

Critical sends a message to the logger object to record critical level statements (these indicate conditions that should never occur and might cause a failure/crash of the executing program or unexpected outcome from the requested action).

func Criticalf
func Criticalf(format string, params ...interface{})

Criticalf formats a message before sending it to the logger object to record critical level statements (these indicate conditions that should never occur and might cause a failure/crash of the executing program or unexpected outcome from the requested action).

const (
	// Must be in sequential ascending order based on priority
	// (higher priorities have higher numeric values)
	LL_DEBUG LogLevel = iota
	LL_INFO

func main() {
  defer log.Close()

  log.Debug("This debug message won't print");
  log.Info("This is an info message")
  log.Warning("This is a warning message")
  log.Errorf("This is an error message with %v", "formatting")
