- // Package logr defines abstract interfaces for logging. Packages can depend on
- // these interfaces and callers can implement logging in whatever way is
- // appropriate.
- //
- // This design derives from Dave Cheney's blog:
- // http://dave.cheney.net/2015/11/05/lets-talk-about-logging
- //
- // This is a BETA grade API. Until there is a significant 2nd implementation,
- // I don't really know how it will change.
- //
- // The logging specifically makes it non-trivial to use format strings, to encourage
- // attaching structured information instead of unstructured format strings.
- //
- // Usage
- //
- // Logging is done using a Logger. Loggers can have name prefixes and named
- // values attached, so that all log messages logged with that Logger have some
- // base context associated.
- //
- // The term "key" is used to refer to the name associated with a particular
- // value, to disambiguate it from the general Logger name.
- //
- // For instance, suppose we're trying to reconcile the state of an object, and
- // we want to log that we've made some decision.
- //
- // With the traditional log package, we might write:
- // log.Printf(
- // "decided to set field foo to value %q for object %s/%s",
- // targetValue, object.Namespace, object.Name)
- //
- // With logr's structured logging, we'd write:
- // // elsewhere in the file, set up the logger to log with the prefix of "reconcilers",
- // // and the named value target-type=Foo, for extra context.
- // log := mainLogger.WithName("reconcilers").WithValues("target-type", "Foo")
- //
- // // later on...
- // log.Info("setting field foo on object", "value", targetValue, "object", object)
- //
- // Depending on our logging implementation, we could then make logging decisions
- // based on field values (like only logging such events for objects in a certain
- // namespace), or copy the structured information into a structured log store.
- //
- // For logging errors, Logger has a method called Error. Suppose we wanted to
- // log an error while reconciling. With the traditional log package, we might
- // write:
- // log.Errorf("unable to reconcile object %s/%s: %v", object.Namespace, object.Name, err)
- //
- // With logr, we'd instead write:
- // // assuming the above setup for log
- // log.Error(err, "unable to reconcile object", "object", object)
- //
- // This functions similarly to:
- // log.Info("unable to reconcile object", "error", err, "object", object)
- //
- // However, it ensures that a standard key for the error value ("error") is used
- // across all error logging. Furthermore, certain implementations may choose to
- // attach additional information (such as stack traces) on calls to Error, so
- // it's preferred to use Error to log errors.
- //
- // Parts of a log line
- //
- // Each log message from a Logger has four types of context:
- // logger name, log verbosity, log message, and the named values.
- //
- // The Logger name constists of a series of name "segments" added by successive
- // calls to WithName. These name segments will be joined in some way by the
- // underlying implementation. It is strongly reccomended that name segements
- // contain simple identifiers (letters, digits, and hyphen), and do not contain
- // characters that could muddle the log output or confuse the joining operation
- // (e.g. whitespace, commas, periods, slashes, brackets, quotes, etc).
- //
- // Log verbosity represents how little a log matters. Level zero, the default,
- // matters most. Increasing levels matter less and less. Try to avoid lots of
- // different verbosity levels, and instead provide useful keys, logger names,
- // and log messages for users to filter on. It's illegal to pass a log level
- // below zero.
- //
- // The log message consists of a constant message attached to the the log line.
- // This should generally be a simple description of what's occuring, and should
- // never be a format string.
- //
- // Variable information can then be attached using named values (key/value
- // pairs). Keys are arbitrary strings, while values may be any Go value.
- //
- // Key Naming Conventions
- //
- // Keys are not strictly required to conform to any specification or regex, but
- // it is recommended that they:
- // * be human-readable and meaningful (not auto-generated or simple ordinals)
- // * be constant (not dependent on input data)
- // * contain only printable characters
- // * not contain whitespace or punctuation
- //
- // These guidelines help ensure that log data is processed properly regardless
- // of the log implementation. For example, log implementations will try to
- // output JSON data or will store data for later database (e.g. SQL) queries.
- //
- // While users are generally free to use key names of their choice, it's
- // generally best to avoid using the following keys, as they're frequently used
- // by implementations:
- //
- // - `"caller"`: the calling information (file/line) of a particular log line.
- // - `"error"`: the underlying error value in the `Error` method.
- // - `"level"`: the log level.
- // - `"logger"`: the name of the associated logger.
- // - `"msg"`: the log message.
- // - `"stacktrace"`: the stack trace associated with a particular log line or
- // error (often from the `Error` message).
- // - `"ts"`: the timestamp for a log line.
- //
- // Implementations are encouraged to make use of these keys to represent the
- // above concepts, when neccessary (for example, in a pure-JSON output form, it
- // would be necessary to represent at least message and timestamp as ordinary
- // named values).
- package logr
- // TODO: consider adding back in format strings if they're really needed
- // TODO: consider other bits of zap/zapcore functionality like ObjectMarshaller (for arbitrary objects)
- // TODO: consider other bits of glog functionality like Flush, InfoDepth, OutputStats
- // Logger represents the ability to log messages, both errors and not.
- type Logger interface {
- // Enabled tests whether this Logger is enabled. For example, commandline
- // flags might be used to set the logging verbosity and disable some info
- // logs.
- Enabled() bool
- // Info logs a non-error message with the given key/value pairs as context.
- //
- // The msg argument should be used to add some constant description to
- // the log line. The key/value pairs can then be used to add additional
- // variable information. The key/value pairs should alternate string
- // keys and arbitrary values.
- Info(msg string, keysAndValues ...interface{})
- // Error logs an error, with the given message and key/value pairs as context.
- // It functions similarly to calling Info with the "error" named value, but may
- // have unique behavior, and should be preferred for logging errors (see the
- // package documentations for more information).
- //
- // The msg field should be used to add context to any underlying error,
- // while the err field should be used to attach the actual error that
- // triggered this log line, if present.
- Error(err error, msg string, keysAndValues ...interface{})
- // V returns an Logger value for a specific verbosity level, relative to
- // this Logger. In other words, V values are additive. V higher verbosity
- // level means a log message is less important. It's illegal to pass a log
- // level less than zero.
- V(level int) Logger
- // WithValues adds some key-value pairs of context to a logger.
- // See Info for documentation on how key/value pairs work.
- WithValues(keysAndValues ...interface{}) Logger
- // WithName adds a new element to the logger's name.
- // Successive calls with WithName continue to append
- // suffixes to the logger's name. It's strongly reccomended
- // that name segments contain only letters, digits, and hyphens
- // (see the package documentation for more information).
