log - Flexible Logging for Go

Setup logging with SetupLogging():

• Type: logging mode to use - file, syslog, console
• Level: debug, info, error, etc. (See all levels below.)
• Facility: syslog facility to log to - daemon, misc, etc.
• File: path to log to file if in file mode.

e.g.:

log.SetupLogging(log.LogConfig{
    Type:  "console",
    Level: "warning"
})

If logging is not setup, then the messages will simply go to stdout. If logging cannot be setup for file or syslog, then the default stdout will be used. An error message will print to stderr to notify you if this occurs.

The following log levels are defined, in decreasing verbosity / increasing criticality:

• Debug
• Info
• Notice
• Warn
• Error
• Crit
• Alert
• Emerg

Usage

Usage is the same as Sprintf/Printf statements - simply append an f to the desired level. e.g.:

dbug_mesg := "This isn't a bug."
log.Debugf("I really need to know this in debug mode: %s", msg)
