Functions

func Fatal

func Fatal(logger log.Logger, args ...interface{})

Fatal logs a error message and exits the process.

func NewCLILogger

func NewCLILogger(debug bool) log.Logger

NewCLILogger creates a standard logger for Kolide CLI tools. The logger will output leveled logs with a "severity" field set to either "info" or "debug". The acceptable level can be swapped by sending SIGUSR2 to the process.

func NewServerLogger

func NewServerLogger(debug bool) log.Logger

NewServerLogger creates a standard logger for Kolide services. The logger will output JSON structured logs with a "severity" field set to either "info" or "debug". The acceptable level can be swapped by sending SIGUSR2 to the process.

func SetLevelKey

func SetLevelKey(logger log.Logger, key interface{}) log.Logger

SetLevelKey changes the "level" key in a Go Kit logger, allowing the user to set it to something else. Useful for deploying services to GCP, as stackdriver expects a "severity" key instead.
