README

This package contains the logging client written in the Go programming language. The logging client is used by Go services or other Go code to communicate with the EdgeX support-logging microservice (regardless of underlying implemenation type) by sending REST requests to the service's API endpoints.

How To Use

To use the support-logging client package you first need to import the library into your project:

import "github.com/Circutor/edgex/pkg/clients/logger"

To send a log message to the centralized logging service, you first need to get a LoggingClient and then you can send logging messages into the service (indicating the level with the various log function call.

  logTarget := setLoggingTarget(*configuration)
	loggingClient = logger.NewClient(internal.CoreDataServiceKey, configuration.EnableRemoteLogging, logTarget)

  loggingClient.Info(consulMsg)
	loggingClient.Info(fmt.Sprintf("Starting %s %s ", internal.CoreDataServiceKey, edgex.Version))

Log messages can be logged as Info, Error, Debug, or Warn.
