logx

Custom logging solution, and associated server for remote consolidation.

The basic premise is to allow logging not only to std output or local file, but also to a remote host which is queryable by postgres.

For examples, please see HostHandlerTest and GenericHandlerTest

Initialization

A LogHandler is required and is used to handle logging for the system.

It requires a list of handlers. For example:

hostHandler := &logx.HostHandler{
    ...
}

logHandler := &LogHandler{
    Handlers: []Handler{   
        hostHandler,
        logx.StdHandler,
    },   
}

errCh := make(chan error)
go func() {
    for err := range errCh {
        //handle error
    }
}()

go hostHandler.RunForever(errCh)

Use in Routes

To use in a route, you can create a logger using the NewRouteLogger method.

For example:

http.HandleFunc("/foo", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request){
    log := NewRouteLogger(r, logHandler)
    ...
})
