gologger

Logger library for the gophers

An openionated logging library for golang.Gologger writes logs as json in the following format

{
    "time":"2016-11-10T16:11:46.59Z",
    "process_name":"sample_logger",
    "host_name":"sarath.local",
    "process_id":29422,
    "level":"ERROR",
    "file_name":"/home/sarath/go/src/github.com/sarathsp06/gologger/sample/main.go",
    "line_num":13,
    "log_msg":"error happened"
}

That much info will be how following will be written

logger.Error("error happened")
