fluent-logger-golang

A structured event logger for Fluentd (Golang)

How to install

go get github.com/fluent/fluent-logger-golang/fluent

Usage

Install the package with go get and use import to include it in your project.

import "github.com/fluent/fluent-logger-golang/fluent"

GoDoc: http://godoc.org/github.com/fluent/fluent-logger-golang/fluent

Example

package main

import (
  "github.com/fluent/fluent-logger-golang/fluent"
  "fmt"
  "time"
)

func main() {
  logger, err := fluent.New(fluent.Config{})
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
  }
  defer logger.Close()
  tag := "myapp.access"
  var data = map[string]string{
    "foo":  "bar",
    "hoge": "hoge",
  }
  error := logger.Post(tag, data)
  // error := logger.PostWithTime(tag, time.Now(), data)
  if error != nil {
    panic(error)
  }
}

data must be a value like map[string]literal, map[string]interface{}, struct or msgp.Marshaler. Logger refers tags msg or codec of each fields of structs.

Setting config values

f := fluent.New(fluent.Config{FluentPort: 80, FluentHost: "example.com"})

WriteTimeout

Sets the timeout for Write call of logger.Post. Since the default is zero value, Write will not time out.
