Go library for logging to LogDNA
🚧 Work in progress 🚧
go get github.com/logdna/logdna-go
import (
"github.com/logdna/logdna-go/logger"
)
func main() {
key := "YOUR INGESTION KEY HERE"
// Configure your options with your desired level, hostname, app, ip address, mac address and environment.
// Hostname is the only required field in your options- the rest are optional.
options := logger.Options{}
options.Level = "fatal"
options.Hostname = "gotest"
options.App = "myapp"
options.IPAddress = "10.0.1.101"
options.MacAddress = "C0:FF:EE:C0:FF:EE"
options.Env = "production"
options.Tags = "logging,golang"
myLogger, err := logger.CreateLogger(options, key)
}Required
After initial setup, logging looks like this:
func main() {
...
myLogger, err := logger.CreateLogger(options, key)
myLogger.Log("Message 1")
myLogger.Close()
// Can also use Go's short-hand syntax for initializing structs to define all your options in just a single line:
options = logger.Options{Level: "error", Hostname: "gotest", App: "myapp", IPAddress: "10.0.1.101", MacAddress: "C0:FF:EE:C0:FF:EE"}
myLogger2, err := logger.CreateLogger(options, key)
myLogger2.Log("Message 2")
// Configure options with specific logs
newOptions := logger.Options{Level: "warning", Hostname: "gotest", App: "myotherapp", IPAddress: "10.0.1.101", MacAddress: "C0:FF:EE:C0:FF:EE"}
errWithOpts := myLogger2.LogWithOptions("Message 3", newOptions)
// We support the following 6 levels
myLogger2.Info("Message 1")
myLogger2.Warn("Message 2")
myLogger2.Debug("Message 3")
myLogger2.Error("Message 4")
myLogger2.Fatal("Message 5")
myLogger2.Critical("Message 6")
// To add metadata to every log-line created by the logger instance:
options.Meta = `{"key": "value", "key2": "value2"}`
myLogger3, err := logger.CreateLogger(options, key)
myLogger3.Log("Message 7")
myLogger3.Close()
}You will see these logs in your LogDNA dashboard! Make sure to run .Close() when done with using the logger.
Run all tests in the test suite:
