Overview

`grpc_glog` is a gRPC logging middleware backed by glog loggers

It accepts a user-configured `ctx_glog.Entry` that will be used for logging completed gRPC calls. The same `ctx_glog.Entry` will be used for logging completed gRPC calls, and be populated into the `context.Context` passed into gRPC handler code.

On calling `StreamServerInterceptor` or `UnaryServerInterceptor` this logging middleware will add gRPC call information to the ctx so that it will be present on subsequent use of the `ctx_zap` logger.

This package also implements request and response *payload* logging, both for server-side and client-side. These will be logged as structured `jsonbp` fields for every message received/sent (both unary and streaming). For that please use `Payload*Interceptor` functions for that. Please note that the user-provided function that determines whetether to log the full request/response payload needs to be written with care, this can significantly slow down gRPC.

If a deadline is present on the gRPC request the grpc.request.deadline tag is populated when the request begins. grpc.request.deadline is a string representing the time (RFC3339) when the current call will expire.

glog can also be made as a backend for gRPC library internals. For that use `ReplaceGrpcLogger`.

*Server Interceptor* Below is a JSON formatted example of a log that would be logged by the server interceptor:

	{
	  "level": "info",									// string  glog log levels
	  "msg": "finished unary call",						// string  log message

	  "grpc.code": "OK",								// string  grpc status code
	  "grpc.method": "Ping",							// string  method name
	  "grpc.service": "mwitkow.testproto.TestService",  // string  full name of the called service
	  "grpc.start_time": "2006-01-02T15:04:05Z07:00",   // string  RFC3339 representation of the start time
      "grpc.request.deadline"							// string  RFC3339 deadline of the current request if supplied
	  "grpc.request.value": "something",				// string  value on the request
	  "grpc.time_ms": 1.234,							// float32 run time of the call in ms

	  "peer.address": {
	    "IP": "127.0.0.1",								// string  IP address of calling party
	    "Port": 60216,									// int     port call is coming in on
	    "Zone": ""										// string  peer zone for caller
	  },
	  "span.kind": "server",							// string  client | server
	  "system": "grpc"									// string

	  "custom_field": "custom_value",					// string  user defined field
	  "custom_tags.int": 1337,							// int     user defined tag on the ctx
	  "custom_tags.string": "something",				// string  user defined tag on the ctx
	}

*Payload Interceptor* Below is a JSON formatted example of a log that would be logged by the payload interceptor:

{
  "level": "info",													// string glog log levels
  "msg": "client request payload logged as grpc.request.content",   // string log message

  "grpc.request.content": {											// object content of RPC request
    "value": "something",											// string defined by caller
    "sleepTimeMs": 9999												// int    defined by caller
  },
  "grpc.method": "Ping",											// string method being called
  "grpc.service": "mwitkow.testproto.TestService",					// string service being called

  "span.kind": "client",											// string client | server
  "system": "grpc"													// string
}

Note - due to implementation ZAP differs from glog in the "grpc.request.content" object by having an inner "msg" object.

Please see examples and tests for examples of use.

Functions

func AddFields

func AddFields(ctx context.Context, fields ctx_glog.Fields)

AddFields adds glog fields to the logger. Deprecated: should use the ctx_glog.Extract instead

func DefaultClientCodeToLevel

func DefaultClientCodeToLevel(code codes.Code) ctx_glog.Severity

DefaultClientCodeToLevel is the default implementation of gRPC return codes to log levels for client side.

func DefaultCodeToLevel

func DefaultCodeToLevel(code codes.Code) ctx_glog.Severity

DefaultCodeToLevel is the default implementation of gRPC return codes to log levels for server side.

func DurationToDurationField

func DurationToDurationField(duration time.Duration) (key string, value interface{})

DurationToDurationField uses the duration value to log the request duration.

func DurationToTimeMillisField

func DurationToTimeMillisField(duration time.Duration) (key string, value interface{})

DurationToTimeMillisField converts the duration to milliseconds and uses the key `grpc.time_ms`.
