How to implement level based logging in golang?

Is there any good wrapper available for level based logging in golang? If not, how should I go about implementing one myself?

What I want is pretty simple. I want a few functions e.g.

log.Error()
log.Info()

etc that display their outputs to stdout as well as save these in a log file (based on the level given to the program as commandline argument). How do I implement this wrapper?

Take a look at http://cgl.tideland.biz and there at the package "applog". It's working that way.

PS: The whole CGL is currently reworked and will soon be released with new features, but under a different name. ;)

I think seelog fits your requirements, and it seems to be pretty popular as it pops up often in log discussions. I never used it seriously, so I can't comment beyond that.

stdlog fits exactly your requirements:

log := stdlog.GetFromFlags()
log.Info("Connecting to the server...")
log.Errorf("Connection failed: %q", err)

Some more suggestions, now that the existing answers are quite old:

  • Uber-go/Zap: Fast, structured, leveled logging in Go
  • Logrus: Structured, pluggable logging for Go. (JSON and text formatting)

Both libraries have level hooks also, which is a very interesting feature. Hooks can be registered for particular log levels. So for example any error(logged using log.Error()) occurs you can report to some monitoring tool etc.

https://github.com/hashicorp/logutils I found this to be very easy to use and you don't even need to change the method calls to log.Printf of the std library.

I am working with rlog at the moment and like their approach. The code looks good, simplistic and sufficiently documented.

What convinced me:

  • no external dependencies
  • i can use rlog.Info() anywhere without passing around references
  • good usage of environment variables
  • arbitrary number of trace levels e.g. rlog.Trace(4, "foo")

I have added logging level support to the built-in Go log package. You can find my code here:

https://github.com/gologme/log

除了添加对INFO、WARN和DEBUG的支持外,用户还可以定义自己的任意日志记录级别。日志记录级别分别启用和禁用。这意味着您可以在不获取其他所有内容的情况下打开调试日志。

You can use the module midlog to implements any other log library, https://github.com/lingdor/midlog

One of the logging module that you can consider is klog . It support 'V' logging which gives the flexibility to log at certain level

klog is a fork of glog and overcomes following drawbacks

glog presents a lot "gotchas" and introduces challenges in containerized environments, all of which aren't well documented. glog doesn't provide an easy way to test logs, which detracts from the stability of software using it glog is C++ based and klog is a pure golang implementation

Sample Implementation

package main


import (
"flag"


"k8s.io/klog"




)


type myError struct {
str string
}


func (e myError) Error() string {
return e.str
}


func main() {
klog.InitFlags(nil)
flag.Set("v", "1")
flag.Parse()


klog.Info("hello", "val1", 1, "val2", map[string]int{"k": 1})
klog.V(3).Info("nice to meet you")
klog.Error(nil, "uh oh", "trouble", true, "reasons", []float64{0.1, 0.11, 3.14})
klog.Error(myError{"an error occurred"}, "goodbye", "code", -1)
klog.Flush()
}
