3 Logrus is a structured logger for Go (golang), completely API compatible with
4 the standard library logger.
5
6 **Logrus is in maintenance-mode.** We will not be introducing new features. It's
7 simply too hard to do in a way that won't break many people's projects, which is
8 the last thing you want from your Logging library (again...).
9
10 This does not mean Logrus is dead. Logrus will continue to be maintained for
11 security, (backwards compatible) bug fixes, and performance (where we are
12 limited by the interface).
13
14 I believe Logrus' biggest contribution is to have played a part in today's
15 widespread use of structured logging in Golang. There doesn't seem to be a
16 reason to do a major, breaking iteration into Logrus V2, since the fantastic Go
17 community has built those independently. Many fantastic alternatives have sprung
18 up. Logrus would look like those, had it been re-designed with what we know
19 about structured logging in Go today. Check out, for example,
20 [Zerolog][zerolog], [Zap][zap], and [Apex][apex].
21
22 [zerolog]: https://github.com/rs/zerolog
23 [zap]: https://github.com/uber-go/zap
24 [apex]: https://github.com/apex/log
25
26 **Seeing weird case-sensitive problems?** It's in the past been possible to
27 import Logrus as both upper- and lower-case. Due to the Go package environment,
28 this caused issues in the community and we needed a standard. Some environments
29 experienced problems with the upper-case variant, so the lower-case was decided.
30 Everything using `logrus` will need to use the lower-case:
31 `github.com/sirupsen/logrus`. Any package that isn't, should be changed.
32
33 To fix Glide, see [these
34 comments](https://github.com/sirupsen/logrus/issues/553#issuecomment-306591437).
35 For an in-depth explanation of the casing issue, see [this
36 comment](https://github.com/sirupsen/logrus/issues/570#issuecomment-313933276).
37
38 Nicely color-coded in development (when a TTY is attached, otherwise just
39 plain text):
40
41 ![Colored](http://i.imgur.com/PY7qMwd.png)
42
43 With `log.SetFormatter(&log.JSONFormatter{})`, for easy parsing by logstash
44 or Splunk:
45
46 ```json
47 {"animal":"walrus","level":"info","msg":"A group of walrus emerges from the
48 ocean","size":10,"time":"2014-03-10 19:57:38.562264131 -0400 EDT"}
49
50 {"level":"warning","msg":"The group's number increased tremendously!",
51 "number":122,"omg":true,"time":"2014-03-10 19:57:38.562471297 -0400 EDT"}
52
53 {"animal":"walrus","level":"info","msg":"A giant walrus appears!",
54 "size":10,"time":"2014-03-10 19:57:38.562500591 -0400 EDT"}
55
56 {"animal":"walrus","level":"info","msg":"Tremendously sized cow enters the ocean.",
57 "size":9,"time":"2014-03-10 19:57:38.562527896 -0400 EDT"}
58
59 {"level":"fatal","msg":"The ice breaks!","number":100,"omg":true,
60 "time":"2014-03-10 19:57:38.562543128 -0400 EDT"}
61 ```
62
63 With the default `log.SetFormatter(&log.TextFormatter{})` when a TTY is not
64 attached, the output is compatible with the
65 [logfmt](http://godoc.org/github.com/kr/logfmt) format:
66
67 ```text
68 time="2015-03-26T01:27:38-04:00" level=debug msg="Started observing beach" animal=walrus number=8
69 time="2015-03-26T01:27:38-04:00" level=info msg="A group of walrus emerges from the ocean" animal=walrus size=10
70 time="2015-03-26T01:27:38-04:00" level=warning msg="The group's number increased tremendously!" number=122 omg=true
71 time="2015-03-26T01:27:38-04:00" level=debug msg="Temperature changes" temperature=-4
72 time="2015-03-26T01:27:38-04:00" level=panic msg="It's over 9000!" animal=orca size=9009
73 time="2015-03-26T01:27:38-04:00" level=fatal msg="The ice breaks!" err=&{0x2082280c0 map[animal:orca size:9009] 2015-03-26 01:27:38.441574009 -0400 EDT panic It's over 9000!} number=100 omg=true
74 ```
75 To ensure this behaviour even if a TTY is attached, set your formatter as follows:
76
77 ```go
78 log.SetFormatter(&log.TextFormatter{
79 DisableColors: true,
80 FullTimestamp: true,
81 })
82 ```
83
84 #### Logging Method Name
85
86 If you wish to add the calling method as a field, instruct the logger via:
87 ```go
88 log.SetReportCaller(true)
89 ```
90 This adds the caller as 'method' like so:
91
92 ```json
93 {"animal":"penguin","level":"fatal","method":"github.com/sirupsen/arcticcreatures.migrate","msg":"a penguin swims by",
94 "time":"2014-03-10 19:57:38.562543129 -0400 EDT"}
95 ```
96
97 ```text
98 time="2015-03-26T01:27:38-04:00" level=fatal method=github.com/sirupsen/arcticcreatures.migrate msg="a penguin swims by" animal=penguin
99 ```
100 Note that this does add measurable overhead - the cost will depend on the version of Go, but is
101 between 20 and 40% in recent tests with 1.6 and 1.7. You can validate this in your
102 environment via benchmarks:
103 ```
104 go test -bench=.*CallerTracing
105 ```
106
107
108 #### Case-sensitivity
109
110 The organization's name was changed to lower-case--and this will not be changed
111 back. If you are getting import conflicts due to case sensitivity, please use
112 the lower-case import: `github.com/sirupsen/logrus`.
113
114 #### Example
115
116 The simplest way to use Logrus is simply the package-level exported logger:
117
118 ```go
119 package main
120
121 import (
122 log "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
123 )
124
125 func main() {
126 log.WithFields(log.Fields{
127 "animal": "walrus",
128 }).Info("A walrus appears")
129 }
130 ```
131
132 Note that it's completely api-compatible with the stdlib logger, so you can
133 replace your `log` imports everywhere with `log "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"`
134 and you'll now have the flexibility of Logrus. You can customize it all you
135 want:
136
137 ```go
138 package main
139
140 import (
141 "os"
142 log "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
143 )
144
145 func init() {
146 // Log as JSON instead of the default ASCII formatter.
147 log.SetFormatter(&log.JSONFormatter{})
148
149 // Output to stdout instead of the default stderr
150 // Can be any io.Writer, see below for File example
151 log.SetOutput(os.Stdout)
152
153 // Only log the warning severity or above.
154 log.SetLevel(log.WarnLevel)
155 }
156
157 func main() {
158 log.WithFields(log.Fields{
159 "animal": "walrus",
160 "size": 10,
161 }).Info("A group of walrus emerges from the ocean")
162
163 log.WithFields(log.Fields{
164 "omg": true,
165 "number": 122,
166 }).Warn("The group's number increased tremendously!")
167
168 log.WithFields(log.Fields{
169 "omg": true,
170 "number": 100,
171 }).Fatal("The ice breaks!")
172
173 // A common pattern is to re-use fields between logging statements by re-using
174 // the logrus.Entry returned from WithFields()
175 contextLogger := log.WithFields(log.Fields{
176 "common": "this is a common field",
177 "other": "I also should be logged always",
178 })
179
180 contextLogger.Info("I'll be logged with common and other field")
181 contextLogger.Info("Me too")
182 }
183 ```
184
185 For more advanced usage such as logging to multiple locations from the same
186 application, you can also create an instance of the `logrus` Logger:
187
188 ```go
189 package main
190
191 import (
192 "os"
193 "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
194 )
195
196 // Create a new instance of the logger. You can have any number of instances.
197 var log = logrus.New()
198
199 func main() {
200 // The API for setting attributes is a little different than the package level
201 // exported logger. See Godoc.
202 log.Out = os.Stdout
203
204 // You could set this to any `io.Writer` such as a file
205 // file, err := os.OpenFile("logrus.log", os.O_CREATE|os.O_WRONLY|os.O_APPEND, 0666)
206 // if err == nil {
207 // log.Out = file
208 // } else {
209 // log.Info("Failed to log to file, using default stderr")
210 // }
211
212 log.WithFields(logrus.Fields{
213 "animal": "walrus",
214 "size": 10,
215 }).Info("A group of walrus emerges from the ocean")
216 }
217 ```
218
219 #### Fields
220
221 Logrus encourages careful, structured logging through logging fields instead of
222 long, unparseable error messages. For example, instead of: `log.Fatalf("Failed
223 to send event %s to topic %s with key %d")`, you should log the much more
224 discoverable:
225
226 ```go
227 log.WithFields(log.Fields{
228 "event": event,
229 "topic": topic,
230 "key": key,
231 }).Fatal("Failed to send event")
232 ```
233
234 We've found this API forces you to think about logging in a way that produces
235 much more useful logging messages. We've been in countless situations where just
236 a single added field to a log statement that was already there would've saved us
237 hours. The `WithFields` call is optional.
238
239 In general, with Logrus using any of the `printf`-family functions should be
240 seen as a hint you should add a field, however, you can still use the
241 `printf`-family functions with Logrus.
242
243 #### Default Fields
244
245 Often it's helpful to have fields _always_ attached to log statements in an
246 application or parts of one. For example, you may want to always log the
247 `request_id` and `user_ip` in the context of a request. Instead of writing
248 `log.WithFields(log.Fields{"request_id": request_id, "user_ip": user_ip})` on
249 every line, you can create a `logrus.Entry` to pass around instead:
250
251 ```go
252 requestLogger := log.WithFields(log.Fields{"request_id": request_id, "user_ip": user_ip})
253 requestLogger.Info("something happened on that request") # will log request_id and user_ip
254 requestLogger.Warn("something not great happened")
255 ```
256
257 #### Hooks
258
259 You can add hooks for logging levels. For example to send errors to an exception
260 tracking service on `Error`, `Fatal` and `Panic`, info to StatsD or log to
261 multiple places simultaneously, e.g. syslog.
262
263 Logrus comes with [built-in hooks](hooks/). Add those, or your custom hook, in
264 `init`:
265
266 ```go
267 import (
268 log "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
269 "gopkg.in/gemnasium/logrus-airbrake-hook.v2" // the package is named "airbrake"
270 logrus_syslog "github.com/sirupsen/logrus/hooks/syslog"
271 "log/syslog"
272 )
273
274 func init() {
275
276 // Use the Airbrake hook to report errors that have Error severity or above to
277 // an exception tracker. You can create custom hooks, see the Hooks section.
278 log.AddHook(airbrake.NewHook(123, "xyz", "production"))
279
280 hook, err := logrus_syslog.NewSyslogHook("udp", "localhost:514", syslog.LOG_INFO, "")
281 if err != nil {
282 log.Error("Unable to connect to local syslog daemon")
283 } else {
284 log.AddHook(hook)
285 }
286 }
287 ```
288 Note: Syslog hook also support connecting to local syslog (Ex. "/dev/log" or "/var/run/syslog" or "/var/run/log"). For the detail, please check the [syslog hook README](hooks/syslog/README.md).
289
290 A list of currently known service hooks can be found in this wiki [page](https://github.com/sirupsen/logrus/wiki/Hooks)
291
292
293 #### Level logging
294
295 Logrus has seven logging levels: Trace, Debug, Info, Warning, Error, Fatal and Panic.
296
297 ```go
298 log.Trace("Something very low level.")
299 log.Debug("Useful debugging information.")
300 log.Info("Something noteworthy happened!")
301 log.Warn("You should probably take a look at this.")
302 log.Error("Something failed but I'm not quitting.")
303 // Calls os.Exit(1) after logging
304 log.Fatal("Bye.")
305 // Calls panic() after logging
306 log.Panic("I'm bailing.")
307 ```
308
309 You can set the logging level on a `Logger`, then it will only log entries with
310 that severity or anything above it:
311
312 ```go
313 // Will log anything that is info or above (warn, error, fatal, panic). Default.
314 log.SetLevel(log.InfoLevel)
315 ```
316
317 It may be useful to set `log.Level = logrus.DebugLevel` in a debug or verbose
318 environment if your application has that.
319
320 #### Entries
321
322 Besides the fields added with `WithField` or `WithFields` some fields are
323 automatically added to all logging events:
324
325 1. `time`. The timestamp when the entry was created.
326 2. `msg`. The logging message passed to `{Info,Warn,Error,Fatal,Panic}` after
327 the `AddFields` call. E.g. `Failed to send event.`
328 3. `level`. The logging level. E.g. `info`.
329
330 #### Environments
331
332 Logrus has no notion of environment.
333
334 If you wish for hooks and formatters to only be used in specific environments,
335 you should handle that yourself. For example, if your application has a global
336 variable `Environment`, which is a string representation of the environment you
337 could do:
338
339 ```go
340 import (
341 log "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
342 )
343
344 func init() {
345 // do something here to set environment depending on an environment variable
346 // or command-line flag
347 if Environment == "production" {
348 log.SetFormatter(&log.JSONFormatter{})
349 } else {
350 // The TextFormatter is default, you don't actually have to do this.
351 log.SetFormatter(&log.TextFormatter{})
352 }
353 }
354 ```
355
356 This configuration is how `logrus` was intended to be used, but JSON in
357 production is mostly only useful if you do log aggregation with tools like
358 Splunk or Logstash.
359
360 #### Formatters
361
362 The built-in logging formatters are:
363
364 * `logrus.TextFormatter`. Logs the event in colors if stdout is a tty, otherwise
365 without colors.
366 * *Note:* to force colored output when there is no TTY, set the `ForceColors`
367 field to `true`. To force no colored output even if there is a TTY set the
368 `DisableColors` field to `true`. For Windows, see
369 [github.com/mattn/go-colorable](https://github.com/mattn/go-colorable).
370 * When colors are enabled, levels are truncated to 4 characters by default. To disable
371 truncation set the `DisableLevelTruncation` field to `true`.
372 * When outputting to a TTY, it's often helpful to visually scan down a column where all the levels are the same width. Setting the `PadLevelText` field to `true` enables this behavior, by adding padding to the level text.
373 * All options are listed in the [generated docs](https://godoc.org/github.com/sirupsen/logrus#TextFormatter).
374 * `logrus.JSONFormatter`. Logs fields as JSON.
375 * All options are listed in the [generated docs](https://godoc.org/github.com/sirupsen/logrus#JSONFormatter).
376
377 Third party logging formatters:
378
379 * [`FluentdFormatter`](https://github.com/joonix/log). Formats entries that can be parsed by Kubernetes and Google Container Engine.
380 * [`GELF`](https://github.com/fabienm/go-logrus-formatters). Formats entries so they comply to Graylog's [GELF 1.1 specification](http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.4/pages/gelf.html).
381 * [`logstash`](https://github.com/bshuster-repo/logrus-logstash-hook). Logs fields as [Logstash](http://logstash.net) Events.
382 * [`prefixed`](https://github.com/x-cray/logrus-prefixed-formatter). Displays log entry source along with alternative layout.
383 * [`zalgo`](https://github.com/aybabtme/logzalgo). Invoking the Power of Zalgo.
384 * [`nested-logrus-formatter`](https://github.com/antonfisher/nested-logrus-formatter). Converts logrus fields to a nested structure.
385 * [`powerful-logrus-formatter`](https://github.com/zput/zxcTool). get fileName, log's line number and the latest function's name when print log; Sava log to files.
386 * [`caption-json-formatter`](https://github.com/nolleh/caption_json_formatter). logrus's message json formatter with human-readable caption added.
387
388 You can define your formatter by implementing the `Formatter` interface,
389 requiring a `Format` method. `Format` takes an `*Entry`. `entry.Data` is a
390 `Fields` type (`map[string]interface{}`) with all your fields as well as the
391 default ones (see Entries section above):
392
393 ```go
394 type MyJSONFormatter struct {
395 }
396
397 log.SetFormatter(new(MyJSONFormatter))
398
399 func (f *MyJSONFormatter) Format(entry *Entry) ([]byte, error) {
400 // Note this doesn't include Time, Level and Message which are available on
401 // the Entry. Consult `godoc` on information about those fields or read the
402 // source of the official loggers.
403 serialized, err := json.Marshal(entry.Data)
404 if err != nil {
405 return nil, fmt.Errorf("Failed to marshal fields to JSON, %w", err)
406 }
407 return append(serialized, '\n'), nil
408 }
409 ```
410
411 #### Logger as an `io.Writer`
412
413 Logrus can be transformed into an `io.Writer`. That writer is the end of an `io.Pipe` and it is your responsibility to close it.
414
415 ```go
416 w := logger.Writer()
417 defer w.Close()
418
419 srv := http.Server{
420 // create a stdlib log.Logger that writes to
421 // logrus.Logger.
422 ErrorLog: log.New(w, "", 0),
423 }
424 ```
425
426 Each line written to that writer will be printed the usual way, using formatters
427 and hooks. The level for those entries is `info`.
428
429 This means that we can override the standard library logger easily:
430
431 ```go
432 logger := logrus.New()
433 logger.Formatter = &logrus.JSONFormatter{}
434
435 // Use logrus for standard log output
436 // Note that `log` here references stdlib's log
437 // Not logrus imported under the name `log`.
438 log.SetOutput(logger.Writer())
439 ```
440
441 #### Rotation
442
443 Log rotation is not provided with Logrus. Log rotation should be done by an
444 external program (like `logrotate(8)`) that can compress and delete old log
445 entries. It should not be a feature of the application-level logger.
446
447 #### Tools
448
449 | Tool | Description |
450 | ---- | ----------- |
451 |[Logrus Mate](https://github.com/gogap/logrus_mate)|Logrus mate is a tool for Logrus to manage loggers, you can initial logger's level, hook and formatter by config file, the logger will be generated with different configs in different environments.|
452 |[Logrus Viper Helper](https://github.com/heirko/go-contrib/tree/master/logrusHelper)|An Helper around Logrus to wrap with spf13/Viper to load configuration with fangs! And to simplify Logrus configuration use some behavior of [Logrus Mate](https://github.com/gogap/logrus_mate). [sample](https://github.com/heirko/iris-contrib/blob/master/middleware/logrus-logger/example) |
453
454 #### Testing
455
456 Logrus has a built in facility for asserting the presence of log messages. This is implemented through the `test` hook and provides:
457
458 * decorators for existing logger (`test.NewLocal` and `test.NewGlobal`) which basically just adds the `test` hook
459 * a test logger (`test.NewNullLogger`) that just records log messages (and does not output any):
460
461 ```go
462 import(
463 "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
464 "github.com/sirupsen/logrus/hooks/test"
465 "github.com/stretchr/testify/assert"
466 "testing"
467 )
468
469 func TestSomething(t*testing.T){
470 logger, hook := test.NewNullLogger()
471 logger.Error("Helloerror")
472
473 assert.Equal(t, 1, len(hook.Entries))
474 assert.Equal(t, logrus.ErrorLevel, hook.LastEntry().Level)
475 assert.Equal(t, "Helloerror", hook.LastEntry().Message)
476
477 hook.Reset()
478 assert.Nil(t, hook.LastEntry())
479 }
480 ```
481
482 #### Fatal handlers
483
484 Logrus can register one or more functions that will be called when any `fatal`
485 level message is logged. The registered handlers will be executed before
486 logrus performs an `os.Exit(1)`. This behavior may be helpful if callers need
487 to gracefully shutdown. Unlike a `panic("Something went wrong...")` call which can be intercepted with a deferred `recover` a call to `os.Exit(1)` can not be intercepted.
488
489 ```
490 ...
491 handler := func() {
492 // gracefully shutdown something...
493 }
494 logrus.RegisterExitHandler(handler)
495 ...
496 ```
497
498 #### Thread safety
499
500 By default, Logger is protected by a mutex for concurrent writes. The mutex is held when calling hooks and writing logs.
501 If you are sure such locking is not needed, you can call logger.SetNoLock() to disable the locking.
502
503 Situation when locking is not needed includes:
504
505 * You have no hooks registered, or hooks calling is already thread-safe.
506
507 * Writing to logger.Out is already thread-safe, for example:
508
509 1) logger.Out is protected by locks.
510
511 2) logger.Out is an os.File handler opened with `O_APPEND` flag, and every write is smaller than 4k. (This allows multi-thread/multi-process writing)
