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)

Functions ¶
func ConfigureLoggers ¶
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 <modulename>=<level>. White space outside of module names and levels is ignored. The root module is specified with the name "<root>".
An example specification:
`<root>=ERROR; foo.bar=WARNING`
func IsLevelEnabled ¶
func IsLevelEnabled(leveler HasMinLevel, level Level) bool
IsLevelEnabled returns whether or not the leveler will honor log records at or above the given log level. The effective log level is used, meaning if the leveler does not specify a level then the level of its parent (if any) is used.
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 NewLogger ¶
NewLogger creates a new Logger with the given name and parent. The logger uses the name to identify itself. The parent is used when determining the effective log level. The new logger is returned, along with the writers the logger will use.
func NewRootLogger ¶
NewRootLogger creates a root logger and returns it, along with the writers that the logger will use.
func ParseConfigurationString ¶
ParseConfigurationString 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.
Loggers are colon- or semicolon-separated; each module is specified as <modulename>=<level>. White space outside of module names and levels is ignored. The root module is specified with the name "<root>".
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 RegisterWriter ¶
RegisterWriter adds the writer to the list of writers that get notified when logging. When registering, the caller specifies the minimum logging level that will be written, and a name for the writer. If there is already a registered writer with that name, an error is returned.
func RemoveWriter ¶
RemoveWriter removes the Writer identified by 'name' and returns it. If the Writer is not found, an error is returned.
func ResetLoggers ¶
func ResetLoggers()
ResetLogging iterates through the known modules and sets the levels of all to UNSPECIFIED, except for <root> which is set to WARNING.
func ResetWriters ¶
func ResetWriters()
ResetWriters puts the list of writers back into the initial state.
Types ¶
type DefaultFormatter ¶
type DefaultFormatter struct{}
DefaultFormatter provides a simple concatenation of all the components.
func (*DefaultFormatter) Format ¶
func (*DefaultFormatter) Format(level Level, module, filename string, line int, timestamp time.Time, message string) string
Format 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.
type Formatter ¶
type Formatter interface {
Format(level Level, module, filename string, line int, timestamp time.Time, message string) string
}
Formatter defines the single method Format, which takes the logging information, and converts it to a string.
type HasMinLevel ¶
type HasMinLevel interface { // MinLogLevel returns the configured minimum log level of the // value. This is the level at which messages with a lower level // will be discarded. MinLogLevel() Level }
HasMinLevel represents values that have a minimum log level.
type HasParentWithMinLevel ¶
type HasParentWithMinLevel interface { // ParentWithMinLogLevel returns the value's parent (or nil). ParentWithMinLogLevel() HasMinLevel }
HasParentWithLevel represents values that have a parent that in turn have a minimum log level.
type Level ¶
type Level uint32
Level holds a severity level.
The severity levels. Higher values are more considered more important.
func EffectiveMinLevel ¶
func EffectiveMinLevel(leveler HasMinLevel) Level
EffectiveLogMinLevel returns the effective minimum log level of the leveler. This is the level at which messages with a lower level will be discarded for this leveler.
If the leveler returns a level of UNSPECIFIED (i.e. was configured without a log level) then the effective log level of the leveler's parent (if any) is returned.
func ParseLevel ¶
ParseLevel converts a string representation of a logging level to a Level. It returns the level and whether it was valid or not.
type Logger ¶
type Logger struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A Logger represents a logging module. It has an associated logging level which can be changed; messages of lesser severity will be dropped. Loggers have a hierarchical relationship - see the package documentation.
The zero Logger value is usable - any messages logged to it will be sent to the root Logger.
func GetLogger ¶
GetLogger returns a Logger for the given module name, creating it and its parents if necessary.
func (Logger) ApplyConfig ¶
func (logger Logger) ApplyConfig(cfg LoggerConfig)
ApplyConfig configures the logger according to the provided config.
func (Logger) Config ¶
func (logger Logger) Config() LoggerConfig
Config returns the current configuration for the Logger.
func (Logger) EffectiveLogLevel ¶
EffectiveLogLevel returns the effective min log level of the receiver - that is, messages with a lesser severity level will be discarded.
If the log level of the receiver is unspecified, it will be taken from the effective log level of its parent.
func (Logger) IsDebugEnabled ¶
IsDebugEnabled returns whether debugging is enabled at debug level.
func (Logger) IsErrorEnabled ¶
IsErrorEnabled returns whether debugging is enabled at error level.
func (Logger) IsInfoEnabled ¶
IsInfoEnabled returns whether debugging is enabled at info level.
func (Logger) IsLevelEnabled ¶
IsLevelEnabled returns whether debugging is enabled for the given log level.
func (Logger) IsTraceEnabled ¶
IsTraceEnabled returns whether debugging is enabled at trace level.
func (Logger) IsWarningEnabled ¶
IsWarningEnabled returns whether debugging is enabled at warning level.
func (Logger) LogCallf ¶
LogCallf logs a printf-formatted message at the given level. The location of the call is indicated by the calldepth argument. A calldepth of 1 means the function that called this function. A message will be discarded if level is less than the the effective log level of the logger. Note that the writers may also filter out messages that are less than their registered minimum severity level.
func (Logger) Logf ¶
Logf logs a printf-formatted message at the given level. A message will be discarded if level is less than the the effective log level of the logger. Note that the writers may also filter out messages that are less than their registered minimum severity level.
func (Logger) SetLogLevel ¶
SetLogLevel sets the severity level of the given logger. The root logger cannot be set to UNSPECIFIED level. See EffectiveLogLevel for how this affects the actual messages logged.
type LoggerConfig ¶
type LoggerConfig struct { // Level is the log level that should be used by the logger. Level Level }
LoggerConfig holds the configuration for a single logger.
func ParseLoggerConfig ¶
func ParseLoggerConfig(spec string) (LoggerConfig, error)
ParseLoggerConfig parses a logger configuration string into the configuration for a single logger. Whitespace around the spec is ignored.
func (LoggerConfig) String ¶
func (cfg LoggerConfig) String() string
String returns a logger configuration string that may be parsed using ParseLoggerConfig or ParseLoggersConfig().
type Loggers ¶
type Loggers struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Loggers produces loggers for a hierarchy of modules. All the loggers will share the same set of log writers.
func LoggersFromConfig ¶
LoggersFromConfig creates a new Loggers using the provided writers and configures loggers according to the given spec.
func NewLoggers ¶
NewLoggers returns a new Loggers that uses the provided writers. If the root level is UNSPECIFIED, WARNING is used.
func (*Loggers) ApplyConfig ¶
func (ls *Loggers) ApplyConfig(configs LoggersConfig)
ApplyConfig configures the loggers according to the provided configs.
func (*Loggers) Config ¶
func (ls *Loggers) Config() LoggersConfig
Config returns the current configuration of the Loggers. Loggers with UNSPECIFIED level will not be included.
type LoggersConfig ¶
type LoggersConfig map[string]LoggerConfig
LoggersConfig is a mapping of logger module names to logger configs.
func ParseLoggersConfig ¶
func ParseLoggersConfig(spec string) (LoggersConfig, error)
ParseLoggersConfig parses a logger configuration string into a set of named logger configs. This method is provided to allow other programs to pre-validate a configuration string rather than just calling ConfigureLoggers.
Loggers are colon- or semicolon-separated; each module is formatted as:
<modulename>=<config>, where <config> consists of <level>
White space outside of module names and config is ignored. The root module is specified with the name "<root>".
As a special case, a config may be specified on its own, without a module name. This is equivalent to specifying the configuration of the root module, so "DEBUG" is equivalent to `<root>=DEBUG`
An example specification:
`<root>=ERROR; foo.bar=WARNING`
func (LoggersConfig) String ¶
func (configs LoggersConfig) String() string
String returns a logger configuration string that may be parsed using ParseLoggersConfig.
type MinLevelWriter ¶
type MinLevelWriter interface { Writer HasMinLevel }
MinLevelWriter is a writer that exposes its minimum log level.
func NewMinLevelWriter ¶
func NewMinLevelWriter(writer Writer, minLevel Level) MinLevelWriter
NewMinLevelWriter returns a MinLevelWriter that wraps the given writer with the provided min log level.
type TestLogValues ¶
type TestLogValues struct { Level Level Module string Filename string Line int Timestamp time.Time Message string }
TestLogValues represents a single logging call.
type TestWriter ¶
type TestWriter struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
TestWriter is a useful Writer for testing purposes. Each component of the logging message is stored in the Log array.
func (*TestWriter) Log ¶
func (writer *TestWriter) Log() []TestLogValues
Log returns a copy of the current logged values.
type Writer ¶
type Writer interface { // Write writes a message to the Writer with the given // level and module name. The filename and line hold // the file name and line number of the code that is // generating the log message; the time stamp holds // the time the log message was generated, and // message holds the log message itself. Write(level Level, name, filename string, line int, timestamp time.Time, message string) }
Writer is implemented by any recipient of log messages.
func NewSimpleWriter ¶
NewSimpleWriter returns a new writer that writes log messages to the given io.Writer formatting the messages with the given formatter.
func ReplaceDefaultWriter ¶
ReplaceDefaultWriter is a convenience method that does the equivalent of RemoveWriter and then RegisterWriter with the name "default". The previous default writer, if any is returned.
type Writers ¶
type Writers struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Writers holds a set of Writers and provides operations for acting on that set. It also acts as a single Writer.
func NewWriters ¶
func NewWriters(initial map[string]MinLevelWriter) *Writers
NewWriters creates a new set of Writers using the provided details.
func (*Writers) AddWithLevel ¶
AddWithLevel adds the writer to the list of Writers that get notified when Write() is called. When adding, the caller specifies the minimum logging level that will be written and a name for the writer. The name is used to identify the writer later (e.g. when removing it).
If there is already a writer with that name, an error is returned.
func (*Writers) MinLogLevel ¶
MinLogLevel returns the minimum log level at which at least one of the writers will write.
