To implement logging in Golang, we can use the standard library's log
package or consider third-party logging libraries. In this example, I will describe how to perform basic logging using Logtail
, a public API of the Tailscale logs service, which includes a dashboard for viewing the logged data.
The code snippet has been taken from the official repository of eagle-sneakers-bot.
func flushLogs() {
logsMutex.RLock()
if len(Logs) > 0 {
requestBody := getRequestBodyForFlush()
logsMutex.RUnlock()
client, err := client.NewClient()
if err != nil {
return
}
_, err = client.NewRequest().
SetMethod("POST").
SetURL("https://in.logtail.com").
SetHeader("Content-Type", "application/json").
SetHeader("Accept", "*/*").
SetHeader("Authorization", "Bearer authkey").
SetJSONBody(requestBody).
Do()
if err != nil {
return
} else {
logsMutex.Lock()
Logs = make(map[LogtailData]int)
logsMutex.Unlock()
}
} else {
logsMutex.RUnlock()
}
}
