Overview

Package log provides a minimal interface for structured logging in services. Orion and orion utils use this log package for all logs.

How To Use

The simplest way to use this package is by calling static log functions to report particular level (error/warning/info/debug)

log.Error(...)
log.Warn(...)
log.Info(...)
log.Debug(...)

You can also initialize a new logger by calling 'log.NewLogger' and passing a loggers.BaseLogger implementation (loggers package provides a number of pre built implementations)

logger := log.NewLogger(gokit.NewLogger())
logger.Info(ctx, "key", "value")

Note:

Preferred logging output is in either logfmt or json format, so to facilitate these log function arguments should be in pairs of key-value

Contextual Logs

log package uses context.Context to pass additional information to logs, you can use 'loggers.AddToLogContext' function to add additional information to logs. For example in access log from Orion service

{"@timestamp":"2018-07-30T09:58:18.262948679Z","caller":"http/http.go:66","error":null,"grpcMethod":"/AuthSvc.AuthService/Authenticate","level":"info","method":"POST","path":"/2.0/authenticate/","took":"1.356812ms","trace":"15592e1b-93df-11e8-bdfd-0242ac110002","transport":"http"}

we pass 'method', 'path', 'grpcMethod' and 'transport' from context, this information gets automatically added to all log calls called inside the service and makes debugging services much easier. Orion also generates a 'trace' ID per request, this can be used to trace an entire request path in logs.

func Debug

func Debug(ctx context.Context, args ...interface{})

Debug writes out a debug log to global logger

func Error

func Error(ctx context.Context, args ...interface{})

Error writes out an error log to global logger

func GetLevel

func GetLevel() loggers.Level

GetLevel returns the current log level

func Info

func Info(ctx context.Context, args ...interface{})

Info writes out an info log to global logger

func SetLevel

func SetLevel(level loggers.Level)

SetLevel sets the log level to filter logs

func SetLogger

func SetLogger(l Logger)

SetLogger sets the global logger

func Warn

func Warn(ctx context.Context, args ...interface{})

Warn writes out a warning log to global logger

type Logger

type Logger interface {
    loggers.BaseLogger
    Debug(ctx context.Context, args ...interface{})
    Info(ctx context.Context, args ...interface{})
    Warn(ctx context.Context, args ...interface{})
    Error(ctx context.Context, args ...interface{})
}

Logger interface is implemnted by the log implementation

func GetLogger

func GetLogger() Logger

GetLogger returns the global logger

func NewLogger

func NewLogger(log loggers.BaseLogger) Logger

NewLogger creates a new logger with a provided BaseLogger
