Golang logging library

godoc build

Package logging implements a logging infrastructure for Go. Its output format is customizable and supports different logging backends like syslog, file and memory. Multiple backends can be utilized with different log levels per backend and logger.

Example

Let's have a look at an example which demonstrates most of the features found in this library.

Example Output

package main

import (
	"os"

	"github.com/op/go-logging"
)

var log = logging.MustGetLogger("example")

// Example format string. Everything except the message has a custom color
// which is dependent on the log level. Many fields have a custom output
// formatting too, eg. the time returns the hour down to the milli second.
var format = logging.MustStringFormatter(
	"%{color}%{time:15:04:05.000} %{shortfunc} ▶ %{level:.4s} %{id:03x}%{color:reset} %{message}",
)

// Password is just an example type implementing the Redactor interface. Any
// time this is logged, the Redacted() function will be called.
type Password string

func (p Password) Redacted() interface{} {
	return logging.Redact(string(p))
}

func main() {
	// For demo purposes, create two backend for os.Stderr.
	backend1 := logging.NewLogBackend(os.Stderr, "", 0)
	backend2 := logging.NewLogBackend(os.Stderr, "", 0)

	// For messages written to backend2 we want to add some additional
	// information to the output, including the used log level and the name of
	// the function.
	backend2Formatter := logging.NewBackendFormatter(backend2, format)

	// Only errors and more severe messages should be sent to backend1
	backend1Leveled := logging.AddModuleLevel(backend1)
	backend1Leveled.SetLevel(logging.ERROR, "")

	// Set the backends to be used.
	logging.SetBackend(backend1Leveled, backend2Formatter)

	log.Debug("debug %s", Password("secret"))
	log.Info("info")
	log.Notice("notice")
	log.Warning("warning")
	log.Error("err")
	log.Critical("crit")
}

Overview

Package logging implements a logging infrastructure for Go. It supports different logging backends like syslog, file and memory. Multiple backends can be utilized with different log levels per backend and logger.

Example 
// This call is for testing purposes and will set the time to unix epoch.
InitForTesting(DEBUG)

var log = MustGetLogger("example")

// For demo purposes, create two backend for os.Stdout.
//
// os.Stderr should most likely be used in the real world but then the
// "Output:" check in this example would not work.
backend1 := NewLogBackend(os.Stdout, "", 0)
backend2 := NewLogBackend(os.Stdout, "", 0)

// For messages written to backend2 we want to add some additional
// information to the output, including the used log level and the name of
// the function.
var format = MustStringFormatter(
	"%{time:15:04:05.000} %{shortfunc} %{level:.1s} %{message}",
)
backend2Formatter := NewBackendFormatter(backend2, format)

// Only errors and more severe messages should be sent to backend2
backend2Leveled := AddModuleLevel(backend2Formatter)
backend2Leveled.SetLevel(ERROR, "")

// Set the backends to be used and the default level.
SetBackend(backend1, backend2Leveled)

log.Debug("debug %s", "arg")
log.Error("error")

Output:

debug arg
error
00:00:00.000 Example E error

Functions

func MustStringFormatter 

func MustStringFormatter(format string) *stringFormatter

MustStringFormatter is equivalent to NewStringFormatter with a call to panic on error.

func NewBackendFormatter 

func NewBackendFormatter(b Backend, f Formatter) *backendFormatter

NewBackendFormatter creates a new backend which makes all records that passes through it beeing formatted by the specific formatter.

func NewStringFormatter 

func NewStringFormatter(format string) (*stringFormatter, error)

NewStringFormatter returns a new Formatter which outputs the log record as a string based on the 'verbs' specified in the format string.

The verbs:

General: 

%{id}        Sequence number for log message (uint64).
%{pid}       Process id (int)
%{time}      Time when log occurred (time.Time)
%{level}     Log level (Level)
%{module}    Module (string)
%{program}   Basename of os.Args[0] (string)
%{message}   Message (string)
%{longfile}  Full file name and line number: /a/b/c/d.go:23
%{shortfile} Final file name element and line number: d.go:23
%{color}     ANSI color based on log level

For normal types, the output can be customized by using the 'verbs' defined in the fmt package, eg. '%{id:04d}' to make the id output be '%04d' as the format string.

For time.Time, use the same layout as time.Format to change the time format when output, eg "2006-01-02T15:04:05.999Z-07:00".

For the 'color' verb, the output can be adjusted to either use bold colors, i.e., '%{color:bold}' or to reset the ANSI attributes, i.e., '%{color:reset}' Note that if you use the color verb explicitly, be sure to reset it or else the color state will persist past your log message. e.g., "%{color:bold}%{time:15:04:05} %{level:-8s}%{color:reset} %{message}" will just colorize the time and level, leaving the message uncolored.

There's also a couple of experimental 'verbs'. These are exposed to get feedback and needs a bit of tinkering. Hence, they might change in the future.

Experimental: 

%{longpkg}   Full package path, eg. github.com/go-logging
%{shortpkg}  Base package path, eg. go-logging
%{longfunc}  Full function name, eg. littleEndian.PutUint32
%{shortfunc} Base function name, eg. PutUint32

func Redact 

func Redact(s string) string

Redact returns a string of * having the same length as s.

func Reset 

func Reset()

Reset restores the internal state of the logging library.

func SetFormatter 

func SetFormatter(f Formatter)

SetFormatter sets the default formatter for all new backends. A backend will fetch this value once it is needed to format a record. Note that backends will cache the formatter after the first point. For now, make sure to set the formatter before logging.

func SetLevel 

func SetLevel(level Level, module string)

SetLevel sets the logging level for the specified module. The module corresponds to the string specified in GetLogger.
