Logrus  Build Status GoDoc

Logrus is a structured logger for Go (golang), completely API compatible with the standard library logger.

Logrus is in maintenance-mode. We will not be introducing new features. It's simply too hard to do in a way that won't break many people's projects, which is the last thing you want from your Logging library (again...).

This does not mean Logrus is dead. Logrus will continue to be maintained for security, (backwards compatible) bug fixes, and performance (where we are limited by the interface).

I believe Logrus' biggest contribution is to have played a part in today's widespread use of structured logging in Golang. There doesn't seem to be a reason to do a major, breaking iteration into Logrus V2, since the fantastic Go community has built those independently. Many fantastic alternatives have sprung up. Logrus would look like those, had it been re-designed with what we know about structured logging in Go today. Check out, for example, Zerolog, Zap, and Apex.

Seeing weird case-sensitive problems? It's in the past been possible to import Logrus as both upper- and lower-case. Due to the Go package environment, this caused issues in the community and we needed a standard. Some environments experienced problems with the upper-case variant, so the lower-case was decided. Everything using logrus will need to use the lower-case: github.com/sirupsen/logrus. Any package that isn't, should be changed.

To fix Glide, see these comments. For an in-depth explanation of the casing issue, see this comment.

Nicely color-coded in development (when a TTY is attached, otherwise just plain text):

Colored

With log.SetFormatter(&log.JSONFormatter{}), for easy parsing by logstash or Splunk:

{"animal":"walrus","level":"info","msg":"A group of walrus emerges from the
ocean","size":10,"time":"2014-03-10 19:57:38.562264131 -0400 EDT"}

{"level":"warning","msg":"The group's number increased tremendously!",
"number":122,"omg":true,"time":"2014-03-10 19:57:38.562471297 -0400 EDT"}

{"animal":"walrus","level":"info","msg":"A giant walrus appears!",
"size":10,"time":"2014-03-10 19:57:38.562500591 -0400 EDT"}

{"animal":"walrus","level":"info","msg":"Tremendously sized cow enters the ocean.",
"size":9,"time":"2014-03-10 19:57:38.562527896 -0400 EDT"}

{"level":"fatal","msg":"The ice breaks!","number":100,"omg":true,
"time":"2014-03-10 19:57:38.562543128 -0400 EDT"}

With the default log.SetFormatter(&log.TextFormatter{}) when a TTY is not attached, the output is compatible with the logfmt format:

time="2015-03-26T01:27:38-04:00" level=debug msg="Started observing beach" animal=walrus number=8
time="2015-03-26T01:27:38-04:00" level=info msg="A group of walrus emerges from the ocean" animal=walrus size=10
time="2015-03-26T01:27:38-04:00" level=warning msg="The group's number increased tremendously!" number=122 omg=true
time="2015-03-26T01:27:38-04:00" level=debug msg="Temperature changes" temperature=-4
time="2015-03-26T01:27:38-04:00" level=panic msg="It's over 9000!" animal=orca size=9009
time="2015-03-26T01:27:38-04:00" level=fatal msg="The ice breaks!" err=&{0x2082280c0 map[animal:orca size:9009] 2015-03-26 01:27:38.441574009 -0400 EDT panic It's over 9000!} number=100 omg=true

To ensure this behaviour even if a TTY is attached, set your formatter as follows:

	log.SetFormatter(&log.TextFormatter{
		DisableColors: true,
		FullTimestamp: true,
	})
Logging Method Name

If you wish to add the calling method as a field, instruct the logger via:

log.SetReportCaller(true)

This adds the caller as 'method' like so:

{"animal":"penguin","level":"fatal","method":"github.com/sirupsen/arcticcreatures.migrate","msg":"a penguin swims by",
"time":"2014-03-10 19:57:38.562543129 -0400 EDT"}
time="2015-03-26T01:27:38-04:00" level=fatal method=github.com/sirupsen/arcticcreatures.migrate msg="a penguin swims by" animal=penguin

Note that this does add measurable overhead - the cost will depend on the version of Go, but is between 20 and 40% in recent tests with 1.6 and 1.7. You can validate this in your environment via benchmarks:

go test -bench=.*CallerTracing
Case-sensitivity

The organization's name was changed to lower-case--and this will not be changed back. If you are getting import conflicts due to case sensitivity, please use the lower-case import: github.com/sirupsen/logrus.

Example

The simplest way to use Logrus is simply the package-level exported logger:

package main

import (
  log "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
)

func main() {
  log.WithFields(log.Fields{
    "animal": "walrus",
  }).Info("A walrus appears")
}

Note that it's completely api-compatible with the stdlib logger, so you can replace your log imports everywhere with log "github.com/sirupsen/logrus" and you'll now have the flexibility of Logrus. You can customize it all you want:

package main

import (
  "os"
  log "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
)

func init() {
  // Log as JSON instead of the default ASCII formatter.
  log.SetFormatter(&log.JSONFormatter{})

  // Output to stdout instead of the default stderr
  // Can be any io.Writer, see below for File example
  log.SetOutput(os.Stdout)

  // Only log the warning severity or above.
  log.SetLevel(log.WarnLevel)
}

func main() {
  log.WithFields(log.Fields{
    "animal": "walrus",
    "size":   10,
  }).Info("A group of walrus emerges from the ocean")

  log.WithFields(log.Fields{
    "omg":    true,
    "number": 122,
  }).Warn("The group's number increased tremendously!")

  log.WithFields(log.Fields{
    "omg":    true,
    "number": 100,
  }).Fatal("The ice breaks!")

  // A common pattern is to re-use fields between logging statements by re-using
  // the logrus.Entry returned from WithFields()
  contextLogger := log.WithFields(log.Fields{
    "common": "this is a common field",
    "other": "I also should be logged always",
  })

  contextLogger.Info("I'll be logged with common and other field")
  contextLogger.Info("Me too")
}

For more advanced usage such as logging to multiple locations from the same application, you can also create an instance of the logrus Logger:

package main

import (
  "os"
  "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
)

// Create a new instance of the logger. You can have any number of instances.
var log = logrus.New()

func main() {
  // The API for setting attributes is a little different than the package level
  // exported logger. See Godoc.
  log.Out = os.Stdout

  // You could set this to any `io.Writer` such as a file
  // file, err := os.OpenFile("logrus.log", os.O_CREATE|os.O_WRONLY|os.O_APPEND, 0666)
  // if err == nil {
  //  log.Out = file
  // } else {
  //  log.Info("Failed to log to file, using default stderr")
  // }

  log.WithFields(logrus.Fields{
    "animal": "walrus",
    "size":   10,
  }).Info("A group of walrus emerges from the ocean")
}
Fields

Logrus encourages careful, structured logging through logging fields instead of long, unparseable error messages. For example, instead of: log.Fatalf("Failed to send event %s to topic %s with key %d"), you should log the much more discoverable:

log.WithFields(log.Fields{
  "event": event,
  "topic": topic,
  "key": key,
}).Fatal("Failed to send event")

We've found this API forces you to think about logging in a way that produces much more useful logging messages. We've been in countless situations where just a single added field to a log statement that was already there would've saved us hours. The WithFields call is optional.

In general, with Logrus using any of the printf-family functions should be seen as a hint you should add a field, however, you can still use the printf-family functions with Logrus.

Default Fields

Often it's helpful to have fields always attached to log statements in an application or parts of one. For example, you may want to always log the request_id and user_ip in the context of a request. Instead of writing log.WithFields(log.Fields{"request_id": request_id, "user_ip": user_ip}) on every line, you can create a logrus.Entry to pass around instead:

requestLogger := log.WithFields(log.Fields{"request_id": request_id, "user_ip": user_ip})
requestLogger.Info("something happened on that request") # will log request_id and user_ip
requestLogger.Warn("something not great happened")
Hooks

You can add hooks for logging levels. For example to send errors to an exception tracking service on Error, Fatal and Panic, info to StatsD or log to multiple places simultaneously, e.g. syslog.

Logrus comes with built-in hooks. Add those, or your custom hook, in init:

import (
  log "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
  "gopkg.in/gemnasium/logrus-airbrake-hook.v2" // the package is named "airbrake"
  logrus_syslog "github.com/sirupsen/logrus/hooks/syslog"
  "log/syslog"
)

func init() {

  // Use the Airbrake hook to report errors that have Error severity or above to
  // an exception tracker. You can create custom hooks, see the Hooks section.
  log.AddHook(airbrake.NewHook(123, "xyz", "production"))

  hook, err := logrus_syslog.NewSyslogHook("udp", "localhost:514", syslog.LOG_INFO, "")
  if err != nil {
    log.Error("Unable to connect to local syslog daemon")
  } else {
    log.AddHook(hook)
  }
}

Note: Syslog hook also support connecting to local syslog (Ex. "/dev/log" or "/var/run/syslog" or "/var/run/log"). For the detail, please check the syslog hook README.

A list of currently known service hooks can be found in this wiki page

Level logging

Logrus has seven logging levels: Trace, Debug, Info, Warning, Error, Fatal and Panic.

log.Trace("Something very low level.")
log.Debug("Useful debugging information.")
log.Info("Something noteworthy happened!")
log.Warn("You should probably take a look at this.")
log.Error("Something failed but I'm not quitting.")
// Calls os.Exit(1) after logging
log.Fatal("Bye.")
// Calls panic() after logging
log.Panic("I'm bailing.")

You can set the logging level on a Logger, then it will only log entries with that severity or anything above it:

// Will log anything that is info or above (warn, error, fatal, panic). Default.
log.SetLevel(log.InfoLevel)

It may be useful to set log.Level = logrus.DebugLevel in a debug or verbose environment if your application has that.

Entries

Besides the fields added with WithField or WithFields some fields are automatically added to all logging events:

  1. time. The timestamp when the entry was created.
  2. msg. The logging message passed to {Info,Warn,Error,Fatal,Panic} after the AddFields call. E.g. Failed to send event.
  3. level. The logging level. E.g. info.
Environments

Logrus has no notion of environment.

If you wish for hooks and formatters to only be used in specific environments, you should handle that yourself. For example, if your application has a global variable Environment, which is a string representation of the environment you could do:

import (
  log "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
)

init() {
  // do something here to set environment depending on an environment variable
  // or command-line flag
  if Environment == "production" {
    log.SetFormatter(&log.JSONFormatter{})
  } else {
    // The TextFormatter is default, you don't actually have to do this.
    log.SetFormatter(&log.TextFormatter{})
  }
}

This configuration is how logrus was intended to be used, but JSON in production is mostly only useful if you do log aggregation with tools like Splunk or Logstash.

Formatters

The built-in logging formatters are:

  • logrus.TextFormatter. Logs the event in colors if stdout is a tty, otherwise without colors.
    • Note: to force colored output when there is no TTY, set the ForceColors field to true. To force no colored output even if there is a TTY set the DisableColors field to true. For Windows, see github.com/mattn/go-colorable.
    • When colors are enabled, levels are truncated to 4 characters by default. To disable truncation set the DisableLevelTruncation field to true.
    • When outputting to a TTY, it's often helpful to visually scan down a column where all the levels are the same width. Setting the PadLevelText field to true enables this behavior, by adding padding to the level text.
    • All options are listed in the generated docs.
  • logrus.JSONFormatter. Logs fields as JSON.

Third party logging formatters:

You can define your formatter by implementing the Formatter interface, requiring a Format method. Format takes an *Entry. entry.Data is a Fields type (map[string]interface{}) with all your fields as well as the default ones (see Entries section above):

type MyJSONFormatter struct {
}

log.SetFormatter(new(MyJSONFormatter))

func (f *MyJSONFormatter) Format(entry *Entry) ([]byte, error) {
  // Note this doesn't include Time, Level and Message which are available on
  // the Entry. Consult `godoc` on information about those fields or read the
  // source of the official loggers.
  serialized, err := json.Marshal(entry.Data)
    if err != nil {
      return nil, fmt.Errorf("Failed to marshal fields to JSON, %v", err)
    }
  return append(serialized, '\n'), nil
}
Logger as an io.Writer

Logrus can be transformed into an io.Writer. That writer is the end of an io.Pipe and it is your responsibility to close it.

w := logger.Writer()
defer w.Close()

srv := http.Server{
    // create a stdlib log.Logger that writes to
    // logrus.Logger.
    ErrorLog: log.New(w, "", 0),
}

Each line written to that writer will be printed the usual way, using formatters and hooks. The level for those entries is info.

This means that we can override the standard library logger easily:

logger := logrus.New()
logger.Formatter = &logrus.JSONFormatter{}

// Use logrus for standard log output
// Note that `log` here references stdlib's log
// Not logrus imported under the name `log`.
log.SetOutput(logger.Writer())
Rotation

Log rotation is not provided with Logrus. Log rotation should be done by an external program (like logrotate(8)) that can compress and delete old log entries. It should not be a feature of the application-level logger.

Testing

Logrus has a built in facility for asserting the presence of log messages. This is implemented through the test hook and provides:

  • decorators for existing logger (test.NewLocal and test.NewGlobal) which basically just adds the test hook
  • a test logger (test.NewNullLogger) that just records log messages (and does not output any):
import(
  "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
  "github.com/sirupsen/logrus/hooks/test"
  "github.com/stretchr/testify/assert"
  "testing"
)

func TestSomething(t*testing.T){
  logger, hook := test.NewNullLogger()
  logger.Error("Helloerror")

  assert.Equal(t, 1, len(hook.Entries))
  assert.Equal(t, logrus.ErrorLevel, hook.LastEntry().Level)
  assert.Equal(t, "Helloerror", hook.LastEntry().Message)

  hook.Reset()
  assert.Nil(t, hook.LastEntry())
}
Fatal handlers

Logrus can register one or more functions that will be called when any fatal level message is logged. The registered handlers will be executed before logrus performs an os.Exit(1). This behavior may be helpful if callers need to gracefully shutdown. Unlike a panic("Something went wrong...") call which can be intercepted with a deferred recover a call to os.Exit(1) can not be intercepted.

...
handler := func() {
  // gracefully shutdown something...
}
logrus.RegisterExitHandler(handler)
...
Thread safety

By default, Logger is protected by a mutex for concurrent writes. The mutex is held when calling hooks and writing logs. If you are sure such locking is not needed, you can call logger.SetNoLock() to disable the locking.

Situation when locking is not needed includes:

  • You have no hooks registered, or hooks calling is already thread-safe.

  • Writing to logger.Out is already thread-safe, for example:

    1. logger.Out is protected by locks.

    2. logger.Out is an os.File handler opened with O_APPEND flag, and every write is smaller than 4k. (This allows multi-thread/multi-process writing)

Overview

Package logrus is a structured logger for Go, completely API compatible with the standard library logger.

The simplest way to use Logrus is simply the package-level exported logger:

package main

import (
  log "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
)

func main() {
  log.WithFields(log.Fields{
    "animal": "walrus",
    "number": 1,
    "size":   10,
  }).Info("A walrus appears")
}

Output:

time="2015-09-07T08:48:33Z" level=info msg="A walrus appears" animal=walrus number=1 size=10

Example (Basic)
package main

import (
	"os"

	"github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
)

func main() {
	var log = logrus.New()
	log.Formatter = new(logrus.JSONFormatter)
	log.Formatter = new(logrus.TextFormatter)                     //default
	log.Formatter.(*logrus.TextFormatter).DisableColors = true    // remove colors
	log.Formatter.(*logrus.TextFormatter).DisableTimestamp = true // remove timestamp from test output
	log.Level = logrus.TraceLevel
	log.Out = os.Stdout

	// file, err := os.OpenFile("logrus.log", os.O_CREATE|os.O_WRONLY, 0666)
	// if err == nil {
	// 	log.Out = file
	// } else {
	// 	log.Info("Failed to log to file, using default stderr")
	// }

	defer func() {
		err := recover()
		if err != nil {
			entry := err.(*logrus.Entry)
			log.WithFields(logrus.Fields{
				"omg":         true,
				"err_animal":  entry.Data["animal"],
				"err_size":    entry.Data["size"],
				"err_level":   entry.Level,
				"err_message": entry.Message,
				"number":      100,
			}).Error("The ice breaks!") // or use Fatal() to force the process to exit with a nonzero code
		}
	}()

	log.WithFields(logrus.Fields{
		"animal": "walrus",
		"number": 0,
	}).Trace("Went to the beach")

	log.WithFields(logrus.Fields{
		"animal": "walrus",
		"number": 8,
	}).Debug("Started observing beach")

	log.WithFields(logrus.Fields{
		"animal": "walrus",
		"size":   10,
	}).Info("A group of walrus emerges from the ocean")

	log.WithFields(logrus.Fields{
		"omg":    true,
		"number": 122,
	}).Warn("The group's number increased tremendously!")

	log.WithFields(logrus.Fields{
		"temperature": -4,
	}).Debug("Temperature changes")

	log.WithFields(logrus.Fields{
		"animal": "orca",
		"size":   9009,
	}).Panic("It's over 9000!")

}
Output:

Types

type Entry

type Entry struct {
	Logger *Logger

	// Contains all the fields set by the user.
	Data Fields

	// Time at which the log entry was created
	Time time.Time

	// Level the log entry was logged at: Trace, Debug, Info, Warn, Error, Fatal or Panic
	// This field will be set on entry firing and the value will be equal to the one in Logger struct field.
	Level Level

	// Calling method, with package name
	Caller *runtime.Frame

	// Message passed to Trace, Debug, Info, Warn, Error, Fatal or Panic
	Message string

	// When formatter is called in entry.log(), a Buffer may be set to entry
	Buffer *bytes.Buffer

	// Contains the context set by the user. Useful for hook processing etc.
	Context context.Context
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

An entry is the final or intermediate Logrus logging entry. It contains all the fields passed with WithField{,s}. It's finally logged when Trace, Debug, Info, Warn, Error, Fatal or Panic is called on it. These objects can be reused and passed around as much as you wish to avoid field duplication.

The FieldLogger interface generalizes the Entry and Logger types

type FieldMap added in v0.11.1

type FieldMap map[fieldKey]string

FieldMap allows customization of the key names for default fields.

type Fields

type Fields map[string]interface{}

Fields type, used to pass to `WithFields`.

type Formatter

type Formatter interface {
	Format(*Entry) ([]byte, error)
}

The Formatter interface is used to implement a custom Formatter. It takes an `Entry`. It exposes all the fields, including the default ones:

* `entry.Data["msg"]`. The message passed from Info, Warn, Error .. * `entry.Data["time"]`. The timestamp. * `entry.Data["level"]. The level the entry was logged at.

Any additional fields added with `WithField` or `WithFields` are also in `entry.Data`. Format is expected to return an array of bytes which are then logged to `logger.Out`.

type Hook

type Hook interface {
	Levels() []Level
	Fire(*Entry) error
}

A hook to be fired when logging on the logging levels returned from `Levels()` on your implementation of the interface. Note that this is not fired in a goroutine or a channel with workers, you should handle such functionality yourself if your call is non-blocking and you don't wish for the logging calls for levels returned from `Levels()` to block.

type JSONFormatter

type JSONFormatter struct {
	// TimestampFormat sets the format used for marshaling timestamps.
	TimestampFormat string

	// DisableTimestamp allows disabling automatic timestamps in output
	DisableTimestamp bool

	// DisableHTMLEscape allows disabling html escaping in output
	DisableHTMLEscape bool

	// DataKey allows users to put all the log entry parameters into a nested dictionary at a given key.
	DataKey string

	// FieldMap allows users to customize the names of keys for default fields.
	// As an example:
	// formatter := &JSONFormatter{
	//   	FieldMap: FieldMap{
	// 		 FieldKeyTime:  "@timestamp",
	// 		 FieldKeyLevel: "@level",
	// 		 FieldKeyMsg:   "@message",
	// 		 FieldKeyFunc:  "@caller",
	//    },
	// }
	FieldMap FieldMap

	// CallerPrettyfier can be set by the user to modify the content
	// of the function and file keys in the json data when ReportCaller is
	// activated. If any of the returned value is the empty string the
	// corresponding key will be removed from json fields.
	CallerPrettyfier func(*runtime.Frame) (function string, file string)

	// PrettyPrint will indent all json logs
	PrettyPrint bool
}

JSONFormatter formats logs into parsable json

func (*JSONFormatter) Format

func (f *JSONFormatter) Format(entry *Entry) ([]byte, error)

Format renders a single log entry

type Level

type Level uint32

Level type

const (
	// PanicLevel level, highest level of severity. Logs and then calls panic with the
	// message passed to Debug, Info, ...
	PanicLevel Level = iota
	// FatalLevel level. Logs and then calls `logger.Exit(1)`. It will exit even if the
	// logging level is set to Panic.
	FatalLevel
	// ErrorLevel level. Logs. Used for errors that should definitely be noted.
	// Commonly used for hooks to send errors to an error tracking service.
	ErrorLevel
	// WarnLevel level. Non-critical entries that deserve eyes.
	WarnLevel
	// InfoLevel level. General operational entries about what's going on inside the
	// application.
	InfoLevel
	// DebugLevel level. Usually only enabled when debugging. Very verbose logging.
	DebugLevel
	// TraceLevel level. Designates finer-grained informational events than the Debug.
	TraceLevel
)

These are the different logging levels. You can set the logging level to log on your instance of logger, obtained with `logrus.New()`.

func (level *Level) UnmarshalText(text []byte) error

UnmarshalText implements encoding.TextUnmarshaler.

type LevelHooks added in v0.8.3

type LevelHooks map[Level][]Hook

Internal type for storing the hooks on a logger instance.

func (LevelHooks) Add added in v0.8.3

func (hooks LevelHooks) Add(hook Hook)

Add a hook to an instance of logger. This is called with `log.Hooks.Add(new(MyHook))` where `MyHook` implements the `Hook` interface.

func (LevelHooks) Fire added in v0.8.3

func (hooks LevelHooks) Fire(level Level, entry *Entry) error

Fire all the hooks for the passed level. Used by `entry.log` to fire appropriate hooks for a log entry.

type Logger

type Logger struct {
	// The logs are `io.Copy`'d to this in a mutex. It's common to set this to a
	// file, or leave it default which is `os.Stderr`. You can also set this to
	// something more adventurous, such as logging to Kafka.
	Out io.Writer
	// Hooks for the logger instance. These allow firing events based on logging
	// levels and log entries. For example, to send errors to an error tracking
	// service, log to StatsD or dump the core on fatal errors.
	Hooks LevelHooks
	// All log entries pass through the formatter before logged to Out. The
	// included formatters are `TextFormatter` and `JSONFormatter` for which
	// TextFormatter is the default. In development (when a TTY is attached) it
	// logs with colors, but to a file it wouldn't. You can easily implement your
	// own that implements the `Formatter` interface, see the `README` or included
	// formatters for examples.
	Formatter Formatter

	// Flag for whether to log caller info (off by default)
	ReportCaller bool

	// The logging level the logger should log at. This is typically (and defaults
	// to) `logrus.Info`, which allows Info(), Warn(), Error() and Fatal() to be
	// logged.
	Level Level

	// Function to exit the application, defaults to `os.Exit()`
	ExitFunc exitFunc
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func New

func New() *Logger

Creates a new logger. Configuration should be set by changing `Formatter`, `Out` and `Hooks` directly on the default logger instance. You can also just instantiate your own:

var log = &logrus.Logger{
  Out: os.Stderr,
  Formatter: new(logrus.JSONFormatter),
  Hooks: make(logrus.LevelHooks),
  Level: logrus.DebugLevel,
}

It's recommended to make this a global instance called `log`.
