Module level logging for Go
This package provides an alternative to the standard library log package.
The actual logging functions never return errors. If you are logging something, you really don't want to be worried about the logging having trouble.
Modules have names that are defined by dotted strings.
"first.second.third"
There is a root module that has the name "". Each module (except the root module) has a parent, identified by the part of the name without the last dotted value.
- the parent of "first.second.third" is "first.second"
- the parent of "first.second" is "first"
- the parent of "first" is "" (the root module)
Each module can specify its own severity level. Logging calls that are of a lower severity than the module's effective severity level are not written out.
Loggers are created using the GetLogger function.
logger := loggo.GetLogger("foo.bar")
By default there is one writer registered, which will write to Stderr, and the root module, which will only emit warnings and above. If you want to continue using the default logger, but have it emit all logging levels you need to do the following.
writer, _, err := loggo.RemoveWriter("default")
// err is non-nil if and only if the name isn't found.
loggo.RegisterWriter("default", writer, loggo.TRACE)
Constants
const DefaultWriterName = "default"
DefaultWriterName is the name of the default writer for a Context.
Variables
var ( // SeverityColor defines the colors for the levels output by the ColorWriter. SeverityColor = map[Level]*ansiterm.Context{ TRACE: ansiterm.Foreground(ansiterm.Default), DEBUG: ansiterm.Foreground(ansiterm.Green), INFO: ansiterm.Foreground(ansiterm.BrightBlue), WARNING: ansiterm.Foreground(ansiterm.Yellow), ERROR: ansiterm.Foreground(ansiterm.BrightRed), CRITICAL: &ansiterm.Context{ Foreground: ansiterm.White, Background: ansiterm.Red, }, } // LocationColor defines the colors for the location output by the ColorWriter. LocationColor = ansiterm.Foreground(ansiterm.BrightBlue) )
var TimeFormat = initTimeFormat()
TimeFormat is the time format used for the default writer. This can be set with the environment variable LOGGO_TIME_FORMAT.
func ConfigureLoggers
func ConfigureLoggers(specification string) error
ConfigureLoggers configures loggers according to the given string specification, which specifies a set of modules and their associated logging levels. Loggers are colon- or semicolon-separated; each module is specified as =. White space outside of module names and levels is ignored. The root module is specified with the name "".
An example specification:
`<root>=ERROR; foo.bar=WARNING`
func DefaultFormatter
func DefaultFormatter(entry Entry) string
DefaultFormatter returns the parameters separated by spaces except for filename and line which are separated by a colon. The timestamp is shown to second resolution in UTC. For example:
2016-07-02 15:04:05
func LoggerInfo
func LoggerInfo() string
LoggerInfo returns information about the configured loggers and their logging levels. The information is returned in the format expected by ConfigureLoggers. Loggers with UNSPECIFIED level will not be included.
func RegisterWriter
func RegisterWriter(name string, writer Writer) error
RegisterWriter adds the writer to the list of writers in the DefaultContext that get notified when logging. If there is already a registered writer with that name, an error is returned.
func ResetLogging
func ResetLogging()
ResetLogging iterates through the known modules and sets the levels of all to UNSPECIFIED, except for which is set to WARNING. The call also removes all writers in the DefaultContext and puts the original default writer back as the only writer.
func ResetWriters
func ResetWriters()
ResetWriters puts the list of writers back into the initial state.
type Config
type Config map[string]Level
Config is a mapping of logger module names to logging severity levels.
func ParseConfigString
func ParseConfigString(specification string) (Config, error)
ParseConfigString parses a logger configuration string into a map of logger names and their associated log level. This method is provided to allow other programs to pre-validate a configuration string rather than just calling ConfigureLoggers.
Logging modules are colon- or semicolon-separated; each module is specified as =. White space outside of module names and levels is ignored. The root module is specified with the name "".
As a special case, a log level may be specified on its own. This is equivalent to specifying the level of the root module, so "DEBUG" is equivalent to <root>=DEBUG
An example specification:
`<root>=ERROR; foo.bar=WARNING`
func (Config) String

String returns a logger configuration string that may be parsed using ParseConfigurationString.
