Logging Service

An asynchronous logging library around go-logging and using lumberjack.v2 for rotational file configuration.

You can use dep to get the dependencies if you want to work on the file

Installing

Using go get

$ go get github.com/oaStuff/logservice

After this command logservice is ready to use. Its source will be in:

$GOPATH/src/pkg/github.com/oaStuff/logservice

You can use go get -u to update the package. You could also dep and the source would be avialable in the vendor folder of your project.

Example

Let's have a look at an example

package main

import (
   "github.com/oaStuff/logservice"
)


func main() {
	logger := asyncLogger.New(asyncLogger.LoggerConfig{Enabled:true, AllowFileLog:true, AllowConsoleLog:true})
	logger.Info("Info message")
	logger.Warn("Warn message")
	logger.Critical("Critical message")
	logger.Error("Error message")
}

Explanation:

using the above code logging will happen at the console and in a file automatically created for you in a folder called logs within your application folder. When you call one of the log methods, your application will NOT block waiting for the data to be written.

you can allow/disable file logging as well as console logging. You could also disable logging as a whole in the application using logger.LoggerConfig{}

NOTE:

you MUST call logger.New() to get a logger for your application. Calling logger.New() with both AllowFileLog and AllowConsoleLog in logger.LoggerConfig{} set to false will automatically disable logging totally.
