# github.com/rs/zerolog

Package zerolog provides a lightweight logging library dedicated to JSON logging.

A global Logger can be used for simple logging:

	import "github.com/rs/zerolog/log"

	log.Info().Msg("hello world")
	// Output: {"time":1494567715,"level":"info","message":"hello world"}

NOTE: To import the global logger, import the "log" subpackage "github.com/rs/zerolog/log".

Fields can be added to log messages:

	log.Info().Str("foo", "bar").Msg("hello world")
	// Output: {"time":1494567715,"level":"info","message":"hello world","foo":"bar"}

Create logger instance to manage different outputs:

	logger := zerolog.New(os.Stderr).With().Timestamp().Logger()
	logger.Info().
	       Str("foo", "bar").
	       Msg("hello world")
	// Output: {"time":1494567715,"level":"info","message":"hello world","foo":"bar"}

Sub-loggers let you chain loggers with additional context:

	sublogger := log.With().Str("component", "foo").Logger()
	sublogger.Info().Msg("hello world")
	// Output: {"time":1494567715,"level":"info","message":"hello world","component":"foo"}

Level logging

	zerolog.SetGlobalLevel(zerolog.InfoLevel)

	log.Debug().Msg("filtered out message")
	log.Info().Msg("routed message")

	if e := log.Debug(); e.Enabled() {
	    // Compute log output only if enabled.
	    value := compute()
	    e.Str("foo", value).Msg("some debug message")
	}
	// Output: {"level":"info","time":1494567715,"routed message"}

Customize automatic field names:

	log.TimestampFieldName = "t"
	log.LevelFieldName = "p"
	log.MessageFieldName = "m"

	log.Info().Msg("hello world")
	// Output: {"t":1494567715,"p":"info","m":"hello world"}

Log with no level and message:

	log.Log().Str("foo","bar").Msg("")
	// Output: {"time":1494567715,"foo":"bar"}

Add contextual fields to global Logger:

	log.Logger = log.With().Str("foo", "bar").Logger()

Sample logs:

	sampled := log.Sample(&zerolog.BasicSampler{N: 10})
	sampled.Info().Msg("will be logged every 10 messages")

Log with contextual hooks:

	// Create the hook:
	type SeverityHook struct{}

	func (h SeverityHook) Run(e *zerolog.Event, level zerolog.Level, msg string) {
	     if level != zerolog.NoLevel {
	         e.Str("severity", level.String())
	     }
	}

	// And use it:
	var h SeverityHook
	log := zerolog.New(os.Stdout).Hook(h)
	log.Warn().Msg("")
	// Output: {"level":"warn","severity":"warn"}

### Caveats

Field duplication:

There is no field deduplication out-of-the-box. Using the same key multiple times creates a new key in the final JSON each time.

	logger := zerolog.New(os.Stderr).With().Timestamp().Logger()
	logger.Info().
	       Timestamp().
	       Msg("dup")
	// Output: {"level":"info","time":1494567715,"time":1494567715,"message":"dup"}

In this case, many consumers will take the last value, but this is not guaranteed; check yours if in doubt.

Concurrency safety:

Be careful when calling UpdateContext. It is not concurrency safe. Use the With method to create a child logger:

	func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	    // Create a child logger for concurrency safety
	    logger := log.Logger.With().Logger()

	    // Add context fields, for example User-Agent from HTTP headers
	    logger.UpdateContext(func(c zerolog.Context) zerolog.Context {
	        ...
	    })
	}

```go
func New(w io.Writer) Logger
```

New creates a root logger with given output writer. If the output writer implements the LevelWriter interface, the WriteLevel method will be called instead of the Write one.

Each logging operation makes a single call to the Writer's Write method. There is no guarantee on access serialization to the Writer. If your Writer is not thread safe, you may consider using sync wrapper.

### Example: New

```go
{
	log := zerolog.New(os.Stdout)

	log.Info().Msg("hello world")

}
```

Output:

```text
{"level":"info","message":"hello world"}
```

}
```

Output:

```text
<nil> DBG Hello World foo=bar

To globally disable logs, set GlobalLevel to Disabled.

## SyncWriter

```go
func SyncWriter(w io.Writer) io.Writer
```

SyncWriter wraps w so that each call to Write is synchronized with a mutex. This syncer can be used to wrap the call to writer's Write method if it is not thread safe. Note that you do not need this wrapper for os.File Write operations on POSIX and Windows systems as they are already thread-safe.

## SyslogCEEWriter

FilteredLevelWriter writes only logs at Level or above to Writer.

It should be used only in combination with MultiLevelWriter when you want to write to multiple destinations at different levels. Otherwise you should just set the level on the logger and filter events early. When using MultiLevelWriter then you set the level on the logger to the lowest of the levels you use for writers.

- `Writer: LevelWriter`: 
- `Level: Level`: 

## Close

```go
func (w *FilteredLevelWriter) Close() error
```

Call the underlying writer's Close method if it is an io.Closer. Otherwise does nothing.

## Write

```go
func (w *FilteredLevelWriter) Write(p []byte) (int, error)
```

Write writes to the underlying Writer.

## WriteLevel

```go
func (w *FilteredLevelWriter) WriteLevel(level Level, p []byte) (int, error)

- `DebugSampler: Sampler`: 
- `InfoSampler: Sampler`: 
- `WarnSampler: Sampler`: 
- `ErrorSampler: Sampler`: 

## Sample

```go
func (s LevelSampler) Sample(lvl Level) bool
```

## LevelWriter

```go
type LevelWriter interface {
	io.Writer
	WriteLevel(level Level, p []byte) (n int, err error)
}
```

LevelWriter defines as interface a writer may implement in order to receive level information with payload.

- `io.Writer: io.Writer`: 
- `WriteLevel: func(level Level, p []byte) (n int, err error)`: 

## LevelWriterAdapter

```go
type LevelWriterAdapter struct {
	io.Writer
}
```

LevelWriterAdapter adapts an io.Writer to support the LevelWriter interface.

- `io.Writer: io.Writer`: 

## Close

```go
func (lw LevelWriterAdapter) Close() error
```

Call the underlying writer's Close method if it is an io.Closer. Otherwise does nothing.

## WriteLevel

```go
func (lw LevelWriterAdapter) WriteLevel(l Level, p []byte) (n int, err error)

- `MarshalZerologObject: func(e *Event)`: 

## Logger

```go
type Logger struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
```

A Logger represents an active logging object that generates lines of JSON output to an io.Writer. Each logging operation makes a single call to the Writer's Write method. There is no guarantee on access serialization to the Writer. If your Writer is not thread safe, you may consider a sync wrapper.

## Debug

```go
func (l *Logger) Debug() *Event
```

Debug starts a new message with debug level.

You must call Msg on the returned event in order to send the event.

### Example: Logger_Debug

{"level":"error","error":"some error","message":"error doing something"}
```

## Fatal

```go
func (l *Logger) Fatal() *Event

}
```

Output:

```text
{"level":"error","message":"kept message"}
```

## Log

```go
func (l *Logger) Log() *Event
```

```text
{"level":"trace","foo":"bar","n":123,"message":"hello world"}
```

## UpdateContext

```go
func (l *Logger) UpdateContext(update func(c Context) Context)
```

UpdateContext updates the internal logger's context.

Caution: This method is not concurrency safe. Use the With method to create a child logger before modifying the context from concurrent goroutines.

## Warn

```go
func (l *Logger) Warn() *Event
```

Warn starts a new message with warn level.

You must call Msg on the returned event in order to send the event.

### Example: Logger_Warn

{"level":"info","foo":"bar","message":"hello world"}
```

## WithContext

```go
func (l Logger) WithContext(ctx context.Context) context.Context
```

WithContext returns a copy of ctx with the receiver attached. The Logger attached to the provided Context (if any) will not be affected. If the receiver's log level is Disabled it will only be attached to the returned Context if the provided Context has a previously attached Logger. If the provided Context has no attached Logger, a Disabled Logger will not be attached.

Note: to modify the existing Logger attached to a Context (instead of replacing it in a new Context), use UpdateContext with the following notation:

	ctx := r.Context()
	l := zerolog.Ctx(ctx)
	l.UpdateContext(func(c Context) Context {
	    return c.Str("bar", "baz")
	})

## WithLevel

```go
func (l *Logger) WithLevel(level Level) *Event
```

WithLevel starts a new message with level. Unlike Fatal and Panic methods, WithLevel does not terminate the program or stop the ordinary flow of a goroutine when used with their respective levels.

You must call Msg on the returned event in order to send the event.

### Example: Logger_WithLevel

```go
{
	log := zerolog.New(os.Stdout)

	log.WithLevel(zerolog.InfoLevel).
		Msg("hello world")

}
```

Output:

```text
{"level":"info","message":"hello world"}
```

		Str("foo", "bar").
		Logger()

	stdlog.SetFlags(0)

## Sampler

```go
type Sampler interface {
	// Sample returns true if the event should be part of the sample, false if
	// the event should be dropped.
	Sample(lvl Level) bool
}
```

Sampler defines an interface to a log sampler.

- `Sample: func(lvl Level) bool`: Sample returns true if the event should be part of the sample, false if the event should be dropped.

## SlogHandler

```go
type SlogHandler struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
```

SlogHandler implements the slog.Handler interface using a zerolog.Logger as the underlying log backend. This allows code that uses the standard library's slog package to route log output through zerolog.

## Enabled

```go
func (h *SlogHandler) Enabled(_ context.Context, level slog.Level) bool
```

Enabled reports whether the handler handles records at the given level. It mirrors Logger.should's level and writer checks (without sampling).

## Handle

```go
func (h *SlogHandler) Handle(ctx context.Context, record slog.Record) error
```

Handle handles the Record. It converts the slog.Record into a zerolog event and writes it using the underlying zerolog.Logger.

## WithAttrs

```go
func (h *SlogHandler) WithAttrs(attrs []slog.Attr) slog.Handler
```

WithAttrs returns a new Handler with the given attributes pre-attached. These attributes will be included in every subsequent log record.

## WithGroup

```go
func (h *SlogHandler) WithGroup(name string) slog.Handler
```

WithGroup returns a new Handler with the given group name. All subsequent attributes will be nested under this group name in the output.

## SyslogWriter

```go
type SyslogWriter interface {
	io.Writer
	Debug(m string) error
	Info(m string) error
	Warning(m string) error
	Err(m string) error
	Emerg(m string) error
	Crit(m string) error

	T TestingLog

	// Frame skips caller frames to capture the original file and line numbers.
	Frame int
}
```

TestWriter is a writer that writes to testing.TB.

- `T: TestingLog`: 
- `Frame: int`: Frame skips caller frames to capture the original file and line numbers.

## Write

```go
func (t TestWriter) Write(p []byte) (n int, err error)
```

Write to testing.TB.

## TestingLog

```go
type TestingLog interface {
	Log(args ...interface{})
	Logf(format string, args ...interface{})
	Helper()
}
```

TestingLog is the logging interface of testing.TB.

- `Log: func(args ...interface{})`: 
- `Logf: func(format string, args ...interface{})`: 
- `Helper: func()`: 

## TriggerLevelWriter

```go
type TriggerLevelWriter struct {
	// Destination writer. If LevelWriter is provided (usually), its WriteLevel is used
	// instead of Write.
	io.Writer

	// ConditionalLevel is the level (and below) at which lines are buffered until
	// a trigger level (or higher) line is emitted. Usually this is set to DebugLevel.
	ConditionalLevel Level

	// TriggerLevel is the lowest level that triggers the sending of the conditional
	// level lines. Usually this is set to ErrorLevel.
	TriggerLevel Level
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
```

TriggerLevelWriter buffers log lines at the ConditionalLevel or below until a trigger level (or higher) line is emitted. Log lines with level higher than ConditionalLevel are always written out to the destination writer. If trigger never happens, buffered log lines are never written out.

It can be used to configure "log level per request".

- `io.Writer: io.Writer`: Destination writer. If LevelWriter is provided (usually), its WriteLevel is used instead of Write.
- `ConditionalLevel: Level`: ConditionalLevel is the level (and below) at which lines are buffered until a trigger level (or higher) line is emitted. Usually this is set to DebugLevel.
- `TriggerLevel: Level`: TriggerLevel is the lowest level that triggers the sending of the conditional level lines. Usually this is set to ErrorLevel.

## Close

```go
func (w *TriggerLevelWriter) Close() error
```

Close closes the writer and returns the buffer to the pool.

```go
func (w *TriggerLevelWriter) Trigger() error
```

Trigger forces flushing the buffer and change the trigger state to triggered, if the writer has not already been triggered before.

## WriteLevel

```go
func (w *TriggerLevelWriter) WriteLevel(l Level, p []byte) (n int, err error)
```
