loggregatorlib/emitter

This library is now DEPRECATED. Please use github.com/cloudfoundry/dropsonde/emitter/logemitter for new code.

This is a GO library to emit messages to the loggregator.

Create an emitter with NewLogMessageEmitter with the loggregator trafficcontroller hostname and port, a source name, the loggregator shared secret, and a gosteno logger.

Call Emit on the emitter with the application GUID and message strings.

A valid source name is any 3 character string. Some common component sources are:

API (Cloud Controller)
RTR (Go Router)
UAA
DEA
APP (Warden container)
LGR (Loggregator)

###Sample Workflow

import "github.com/cloudfoundry/loggregatorlib/emitter"

func main() {
    appGuid := "a8977cb6-3365-4be1-907e-0c878b3a4c6b" // The GUID(UUID) for the user's application
    emitter, err := emitter.NewLogMessageEmitter("10.10.10.16:38452", "RTR", "shared secret", gosteno.NewLogger("LoggregatorEmitter"))
    emitter.Emit(appGuid, message)
}
