Lacework Logger

A Logger wrapper for Lacework based of zap logger Go package.

Usage

Download the library into your $GOPATH:

$ go get github.com/lacework/go-sdk/lwlogger

Import the library into your tool:

import "github.com/lacework/go-sdk/lwlogger"

Environment Variables

This package can be controlled via environment variables:

Environment Variable	Description	Default	Supported Options
LW_LOG	Change the verbosity of the logs	""	INFO or DEBUG
LW_LOG_FORMAT	Controls the format of the logs	JSON	JSON or CONSOLE
LW_LOG_DEV	Switch the logger instance to development mode (extra verbose)	false	true or false

Examples

To create a new logger instance with the log level INFO, write an interesting info message and another debug message. Note that only the info message will be displayed:

package main

import "github.com/lacework/go-sdk/lwlogger"

func main() {
	lwL := lwlogger.New("INFO")

	// Output: {"level":"info","ts":"[timestamp]","caller":"main.go:9","msg":"interesting info"}
	lwL.Info("interesting info")

	// This message wont be displayed
	lwL.Debug("this is a debug message, too long and only needed when debugging this app")
}

Look at the examples/ folder for more examples.
