GoDoc: http://godoc.org/github.com/fluent/fluent-logger-golang/fluent

##Example

package main

import (
  "github.com/fluent/fluent-logger-golang/fluent"
  "fmt"
  "time"
)

func main() {
  logger, err := fluent.New(fluent.Config{})
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
  }
  defer logger.Close()
  tag := "myapp.access"
  var data = map[string]string{
    "foo":  "bar",
    "hoge": "hoge"
  }
  error := logger.Post(tag, data)
  // error := logger.Post(tag, time.Time.Now(), data)
  if error != nil {
    panic(error)
  }
}

data must be a value like map[string]literal, map[string]interface{} or struct. Logger refers tags msg or codec of each fields of structs.
