# Logrus
|
|
|
|
Logrus is a simple, opinionated logging package for Go. It has three debugging
|
|
levels:
|
|
|
|
* `LevelDebug`: Debugging, usually turned off for deploys.
|
|
* `LevelInfo`: Info, useful for monitoring in production.
|
|
* `LevelWarning`: Warnings that should definitely be noted. These are sent to
|
|
`airbrake`.
|
|
* `LevelFatal`: Fatal messages that causes the application to crash. These are
|
|
sent to `airbrake`.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
The global logging level is set by: `logrus.Level = logrus.{LevelDebug,LevelWarning,LevelFatal}`.
|
|
|
|
Note that for `airbrake` to work, `airbrake.Endpoint` and `airbrake.ApiKey`
|
|
should be set.
|
|
|
|
There is a global logger, which new loggers inherit their settings from when
|
|
created (see example below), such as the place to redirect output. Logging can
|
|
be done with the global logging module:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
logrus.Debug("Something debugworthy happened: %s", importantStuff)
|
|
logrus.Info("Something infoworthy happened: %s", importantStuff)
|
|
|
|
logrus.Warning("Something bad happened: %s", importantStuff)
|
|
// Reports to Airbrake
|
|
|
|
logrus.Fatal("Something fatal happened: %s", importantStuff)
|
|
// Reports to Airbrake
|
|
// Then exits
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Types are encouraged to include their own logging object. This allows to set a
|
|
context dependent prefix to know where a certain message is coming from, without
|
|
cluttering every single message with this.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
type Walrus struct {
|
|
TuskSize uint64
|
|
Sex bool
|
|
logger logrus.Logger
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func NewWalrus(tuskSize uint64, sex bool) *Walrus {
|
|
return &Walrus{
|
|
TuskSize: tuskSize,
|
|
Sex: bool,
|
|
logger: logrus.NewLogger("Walrus"),
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func (walrus *Walrus) Mate(partner *Walrus) error {
|
|
if walrus.Sex == partner.Sex {
|
|
return errors.New("Incompatible mating partner.")
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
walrus.logger.Info("Walrus with tusk sizes %d and %d are mating!", walrus.TuskSize, partner.TuskSize)
|
|
// Generates a logging message: <timestamp> [Info] [Walrus] Walrus with tusk sizes <int> and <int> are mating!
|
|
|
|
// Walrus mating happens here
|
|
|
|
return nil
|
|
}
|
|
```
