ezlog

中文介绍

What is ezlog?

ezlog is a high-performance cross-platform file logging library.

It can be used in Flutter, Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, MacOS.

It is inspired by Xlog and Logan, rewrite in Rust.

Features

• multi platform: Flutter, Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, MacOS
• map file into memory by mmap.
• compression support, eg: zlib.
• encryption support, eg: AEAD encryption.
• fetch log by callback.
• trim out of date files.
• command line parser support.

Android Usage

Add ezlog to dependencies

Open top-level build.gradle, add mavenCentral to repositories.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        ...
        mavenCentral()
        ...
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        mavenCentral()
        ...
    }
}

Open app level build.gradle, add ezlog

dependencies {
    implementation "wtf.s1.ezlog:ezlog:0.2+"
}

Sync gradle

Setup in application

override fun onCreate() {
    super.onCreate()

    val path = File(filesDir, "ezlog").absolutePath
    val config = EZLogConfig.Builder("demo", path)
        .compress(EZLog.CompressZlib)
        .compressLevel(EZLog.CompressFast)
        .cipher(EZLog.Aes128Gcm)
        .cipherKey("a secret key!!!!".toByteArray())
        .cipherNonce("unique nonce".toByteArray())
        .enableTrace(BuildConfig.DEBUG)
        .build()
    EZLog.initWith(config)

    EZLog.v("ezlog", "first blood")

    EZLog.registerCallback(object : Callback {
        override fun onLogsFetchSuccess(
            logName: String?,
            date: String?,
            logs: Array<out String>?
        ) {
            Log.i("ezlog", "$logName $date ${logs.contentToString()}")
            logs?.let {
                logs.getOrNull(0)?.let { log ->
                    Log.i("ezlog", "check file exists ${File(log).exists()}")
                }
            }
        }

        override fun onLogsFetchFail(logName: String?, date: String?, err: String?) {
            Log.i("ezlog", "$logName $date $err")
        }
    })
}

Flutter Usage

Add ezlog_flutter as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

dependencies:
  ezlog_flutter: ^0.2.0

Example

import 'dart:io';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'dart:async';
import 'package:ezlog_flutter/ezlog_flutter.dart';
import 'package:path_provider/path_provider.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  State<MyApp> createState() => _MyAppState();
}

class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    initEZLog();
  }

  Future<void> initEZLog() async {
    EZLog.init(true);
    Directory appDocDir = await getApplicationSupportDirectory();
    String logDir = '${appDocDir.path}/ezlog';

    var logger = EZLogger.config(
        EZLogConfig.plaintext("main", Level.trace.id, logDir, 7));
    
    logger.d("init", "success");

    var logs = await EZLog.requestLogFilesForDate("main", "2022_08_25");
  }
}

iOS Usage

Add ezlog

Add dependency to Podfile

pod 'EZLog', '~> 0.2'

then

pod update

Open Xcode, add sample code

import EZLog

init() {
    pthread_setname_np("main")
    #if DEBUG
    ezlogInitWithTrace()
    #else
    ezlogInit()
    #endif
    
    let dirPath = URL.documents.appendingPathComponent("ezlog").relativePath

    let config = EZLogConfig(level: Level.trace,
                                dirPath: dirPath,
                                name: "demo",
                                keepDays: 7,
                                maxSize: 150*1024,
                                compress: CompressKind.ZLIB,
                                compressLevel: CompressLevel.DEFAULT,
                                cipher: Cipher.AES128GCM,
                                cipherKey: [UInt8]("a secret key!!!!".utf8),
                                cipherNonce: [UInt8]("unique nonce".utf8))
    let logger = EZLogger(config: config)

    ezlogRegisterCallback(success: {name, date, logs in
        if !logs.isEmpty {
            for log in logs {
                print("name:" + name + " date:" + date + " log:" + log);
            }
        } else {
            print("no log found at that time")
        }
        
    }, fail: {name, date, err in
        print("name:" + name + " date:" + date + " err:" + err);
    })
    
    logger.debug("first blood")
}

click run and see console ouput.

Rust Usage

Add ezlog

Add this to your Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
ezlog = "0.2"

Example

use ezlog::EZLogConfigBuilder;
use ezlog::Level;
use log::{error, info, warn};
use log::{LevelFilter, Log};

ezlog::InitBuilder::new().init();

let config = EZLogConfigBuilder::new()
        .level(Level::Trace)
        .dir_path(
            dirs::download_dir()
                .unwrap()
                .into_os_string()
                .into_string()
                .expect("dir path error"),
        )
        .build();
ezlog::create_log(config);

info!("hello ezlog");

Log file format

Header

Bytes Offset	Meaning
0-1	'ez'
2	Version number
3	Flag bits
4-7	Offset of recorder position in bytes
8-15	Unix timestamp (big-endian)
16	Compression type
17	Encryption type
18-21	Encryption key hash

Per log record

Byte Offset	Field Name	Description
0	Start Byte	Always 0x3b indicating the start
1-varint	Record Length	A variable-length integer that specifies the length
varint+1-varint+n	Record Content	The actual log record content
varint+n+1	End Byte	Always 0x21 indicating the start

Compression

We use zlib as the compression algorithm.

Encryption

We use AES-GCM-SIV as the encryption algorithm.

AES-GCM-SIV, as a symmetric encryption algorithm, is more efficient compared to asymmetric encryption. As an AEAD, When compared to AES-CFB, it is more secure, and when compared to AES-GCM, AES-GCM-SIV is nonce-misuse-resistant.

Make nonce not repeat

First of all, we need an init nonce, which is generated randomly when the logger is created. Then, we get the timestamp of the log file creation. When we write a log record, we know the current index of the log file, and we can calculate the nonce of the current log record by the following formula:

nonce = init_nonce ^ timestamp.extend(index)

Build

• install and config rust

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
source $HOME/.cargo/env

• use rust nightly

rustup default nightly-2022-08-10

we use build-std feature, so add nightly src component

rustup component add rust-src --toolchain nightly-x86_64-apple-darwin

clone repository and open in command line tool. then run

cargo check

wait crates download...

cargo build -p ezlog

for Flutter build

flutter packages get

flutter packages upgrade

For android build

• add android targets

rustup target add aarch64-linux-android armv7-linux-androideabi i686-linux-android x86_64-linux-android

we use cargo-ndk to build dylib

cargo install cargo-ndk

cd android

sh b_android.sh

then open current workspace in AndroidStudio

For iOS build

• add iOS targets

rustup target add aarch64-apple-ios aarch64-apple-ios-sim x86_64-apple-ios

install cbindgen

cargo install --force cbindgen

cd ios dir

sh b_ios.sh

open the ios/EZlog.xcworkspace in Xcode
