package zerolog

import "github.com/rs/zerolog"

Package zerolog provides a lightweight logging library dedicated to JSON logging.

A global Logger can be use for simple logging: 

import "github.com/rs/zerolog/log"

log.Info().Msg("hello world")
// Output: {"time":1494567715,"level":"info","message":"hello world"}

NOTE: To import the global logger, import the "log" subpackage "github.com/rs/zerolog/log".

Fields can be added to log messages: 

log.Info().Str("foo", "bar").Msg("hello world")
// Output: {"time":1494567715,"level":"info","message":"hello world","foo":"bar"}

Create logger instance to manage different outputs: 

logger := zerolog.New(os.Stderr).With().Timestamp().Logger()
logger.Info().
       Str("foo", "bar").
       Msg("hello world")
// Output: {"time":1494567715,"level":"info","message":"hello world","foo":"bar"}

Sub-loggers let you chain loggers with additional context: 

sublogger := log.With().Str("component": "foo").Logger()
sublogger.Info().Msg("hello world")
// Output: {"time":1494567715,"level":"info","message":"hello world","component":"foo"}

Level logging 

zerolog.SetGlobalLevel(zerolog.InfoLevel)

log.Debug().Msg("filtered out message")
log.Info().Msg("routed message")

if e := log.Debug(); e.Enabled() {
    // Compute log output only if enabled.
    value := compute()
    e.Str("foo": value).Msg("some debug message")
}
// Output: {"level":"info","time":1494567715,"routed message"}

Customize automatic field names: 

log.TimestampFieldName = "t"
log.LevelFieldName = "p"
log.MessageFieldName = "m"

log.Info().Msg("hello world")
// Output: {"t":1494567715,"p":"info","m":"hello world"}

Log with no level and message: 

log.Log().Str("foo","bar").Msg("")
// Output: {"time":1494567715,"foo":"bar"}

Add contextual fields to global Logger: 

log.Logger = log.With().Str("foo", "bar").Logger()

Sample logs: 

sampled := log.Sample(&zerolog.BasicSampler{N: 10})
sampled.Info().Msg("will be logged every 10 messages")

Log with contextual hooks: 

// Create the hook:
type SeverityHook struct{}

func (h SeverityHook) Run(e *zerolog.Event, level zerolog.Level, msg string) {
     if level != zerolog.NoLevel {
         e.Str("severity", level.String())
     }
}

// And use it:
var h SeverityHook
log := zerolog.New(os.Stdout).Hook(h)
log.Warn().Msg("")
// Output: {"level":"warn","severity":"warn"}

Caveats

There is no fields deduplication out-of-the-box. Using the same key multiple times creates new key in final JSON each time. 

logger := zerolog.New(os.Stderr).With().Timestamp().Logger()
logger.Info().
       Timestamp().
       Msg("dup")
// Output: {"level":"info","time":1494567715,"time":1494567715,"message":"dup"}

However, it’s not a big deal though as JSON accepts dup keys, the last one prevails.

Examples

Variables 

var (
	// TimestampFieldName is the field name used for the timestamp field.
	TimestampFieldName = "time"

	// LevelFieldName is the field name used for the level field.
	LevelFieldName = "level"

	// MessageFieldName is the field name used for the message field.
	MessageFieldName = "message"

	// ErrorFieldName is the field name used for error fields.
	ErrorFieldName = "error"

	// CallerFieldName is the field name used for caller field.
	CallerFieldName = "caller"

	// CallerSkipFrameCount is the number of stack frames to skip to find the caller.
	CallerSkipFrameCount = 2

	// TimeFieldFormat defines the time format of the Time field type.
	// If set to an empty string, the time is formatted as an UNIX timestamp
	// as integer.
	TimeFieldFormat = time.RFC3339

	// TimestampFunc defines the function called to generate a timestamp.
	TimestampFunc = time.Now

	// DurationFieldUnit defines the unit for time.Duration type fields added
	// using the Dur method.
	DurationFieldUnit = time.Millisecond

	// DurationFieldInteger renders Dur fields as integer instead of float if
	// set to true.
	DurationFieldInteger = false

	// ErrorHandler is called whenever zerolog fails to write an event on its
	// output. If not set, an error is printed on the stderr. This handler must
	// be thread safe and non-blocking.
	ErrorHandler func(err error)
)
var (
	// Often samples log every ~ 10 events.
	Often = RandomSampler(10)
	// Sometimes samples log every ~ 100 events.
	Sometimes = RandomSampler(100)
	// Rarely samples log every ~ 1000 events.
	Rarely = RandomSampler(1000)
)
var ErrorMarshalFunc = func(err error) interface{} {
	return err
}

ErrorMarshalFunc allows customization of global error marshaling

Functions

func DisableSampling 

func DisableSampling(v bool)

func SyncWriter 

func SyncWriter(w io.Writer) io.Writer

SyncWriter wraps w so that each call to Write is synchronized with a mutex. This syncer can be the call to writer's Write method is not thread safe. Note that os.File Write operation is using write() syscall which is supposed to be thread-safe on POSIX systems. So there is no need to use this with os.File on such systems as zerolog guaranties to issue a single Write call per log event.

func (*Logger) Printf 

func (l *Logger) Printf(format string, v ...interface{})

Printf sends a log event using debug level and no extra field. Arguments are handled in the manner of fmt.Printf.

Example

Code:play  

package main

import (
	"os"

	"github.com/rs/zerolog"
)

func main() {
	log := zerolog.New(os.Stdout)

	log.Printf("hello %s", "world")

}

Output:

{"level":"debug","message":"hello world"}

func (Logger) Sample 

func (l Logger) Sample(s Sampler) Logger

Sample returns a logger with the s sampler.

Example

Code:play  

package main

import (
	"os"

	"github.com/rs/zerolog"
)

func main() {
	log := zerolog.New(os.Stdout).Sample(&zerolog.BasicSampler{N: 2})

	log.Info().Msg("message 1")
	log.Info().Msg("message 2")
	log.Info().Msg("message 3")
	log.Info().Msg("message 4")

}

Output:

{"level":"info","message":"message 1"}
{"level":"info","message":"message 3"}

func (*Logger) UpdateContext 

func (l *Logger) UpdateContext(update func(c Context) Context)

UpdateContext updates the internal logger's context.

Use this method with caution. If unsure, prefer the With method.

func (*Logger) Warn 

func (l *Logger) Warn() *Event

Warn starts a new message with warn level.

You must call Msg on the returned event in order to send the event.

Example

Code:play  

package main

import (
	"os"

	"github.com/rs/zerolog"
)

func main() {
	log := zerolog.New(os.Stdout)

	log.Warn().
		Str("foo", "bar").
		Msg("a warning message")

}

Output:

{"level":"warn","foo":"bar","message":"a warning message"}

func (Logger) With 

func (l Logger) With() Context

With creates a child logger with the field added to its context.

Example

Code:play  

package main

import (
	"os"

	"github.com/rs/zerolog"
)

func main() {
	log := zerolog.New(os.Stdout).
		With().
		Str("foo", "bar").
		Logger()

	log.Info().Msg("hello world")

}

Output:

{"level":"info","foo":"bar","message":"hello world"}

func (*Logger) WithContext 

func (l *Logger) WithContext(ctx context.Context) context.Context

WithContext returns a copy of ctx with l associated. If an instance of Logger is already in the context, the context is not updated.

For instance, to add a field to an existing logger in the context, use this notation: 

ctx := r.Context()
l := zerolog.Ctx(ctx)
l.UpdateContext(func(c Context) Context {
    return c.Str("bar", "baz")
})

func (*Logger) WithLevel 

func (l *Logger) WithLevel(level Level) *Event

WithLevel starts a new message with level. Unlike Fatal and Panic methods, WithLevel does not terminate the program or stop the ordinary flow of a gourotine when used with their respective levels.

You must call Msg on the returned event in order to send the event.

Example

Code:play  

package main

import (
	"os"

	"github.com/rs/zerolog"
)

func main() {
	log := zerolog.New(os.Stdout)

	log.WithLevel(zerolog.InfoLevel).
		Msg("hello world")

}

Output:

{"level":"info","message":"hello world"}

func (Logger) Write 

func (l Logger) Write(p []byte) (n int, err error)

Write implements the io.Writer interface. This is useful to set as a writer for the standard library log.

Example

Code:play  

package main

import (
	stdlog "log"
	"os"

	"github.com/rs/zerolog"
)

func main() {
	log := zerolog.New(os.Stdout).With().
		Str("foo", "bar").
		Logger()

	stdlog.SetFlags(0)
	stdlog.SetOutput(log)

	stdlog.Print("hello world")

}

Output:

{"foo":"bar","message":"hello world"}

type RandomSampler 

type RandomSampler uint32

RandomSampler use a PRNG to randomly sample an event out of N events, regardless of their level.

func (RandomSampler) Sample 

func (s RandomSampler) Sample(lvl Level) bool

Sample implements the Sampler interface.

type Sampler 

type Sampler interface {
	// Sample returns true if the event should be part of the sample, false if
	// the event should be dropped.
	Sample(lvl Level) bool
}

Sampler defines an interface to a log sampler.

type SyslogWriter 

type SyslogWriter interface {
	io.Writer
	Debug(m string) error
	Info(m string) error
	Warning(m string) error
	Err(m string) error
	Emerg(m string) error
	Crit(m string) error
}

SyslogWriter is an interface matching a syslog.Writer struct.
