loggerdaemon

Logger sidecar

The Package implements a daemon that is intended to be run as a logging sidecar in a microservice. It listens for TCP Connections on localhost at a specific port. It then extracts the data from the incoming data stream and pushes in into the pre-configured middleware.It decouples the log collection functionality from the language/platform used to build the microservice. Its main features are:

• Decouples log collection from the microservice.
• Supports multiple transports for log collection i.e. RabbitMQ, Kafka.
• Levarages the multiprocessing/concurrency capabilities of the Go language.
• Employes bigcache https://github.com/allegro/bigcache project to build the reliability and scalibility into the software.
• Could be extended to support further more type of Log Repository.
• Restarts itself automatically once it crashes.
