๐ Install
go get github.com/samber/slog-quickwit
Compatibility: go >= 1.21
This library is v0 and follows SemVer strictly. Some breaking changes might be made to exported APIs before v1.0.0.
๐ก Usage
GoDoc: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/samber/slog-quickwit
Handler options
type Option struct {
// log level (default: debug)
Level slog.Leveler
// Quickwit client
Client *quickwit.Client
// optional: customize json payload builder
Converter Converter
// optional: fetch attributes from context
AttrFromContext []func(ctx context.Context) []slog.Attr
// optional: see slog.HandlerOptions
AddSource bool
ReplaceAttr func(groups []string, a slog.Attr) slog.Attr
}
Attributes will be injected in log payload.
Other global parameters:
slogquickwit.SourceKey = "source"
slogquickwit.ContextKey = "context"
slogquickwit.ErrorKeys = []string{"error", "err"}
Example
import (
"github.com/samber/go-quickwit"
slogquickwit "github.com/samber/slog-slogquickwit"
"log/slog"
)
func main() {
// docker-compose up -d
// curl -X POST \
// 'http://localhost:7280/api/v1/indexes' \
// -H 'Content-Type: application/yaml' \
// --data-binary @test-config.yaml
client := quickwit.NewWithDefault("http://localhost:7280", "my-index")
defer client.Stop() // flush and stop
logger := slog.New(slogquickwit.Option{Level: slog.LevelDebug, Client: client}.NewQuickwitHandler())
logger = logger.
With("environment", "dev").
With("release", "v1.0.0")
// log error
logger.
With("category", "sql").
With("query.statement", "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users;").
With("query.duration", 1*time.Second).
With("error", fmt.Errorf("could not count users")).
Error("caramba!")
// log user signup
logger.
With(
slog.Group("user",
slog.String("id", "user-123"),
slog.Time("created_at", time.Now()),
),
).
Info("user registration")
}
Tracing
Import the samber/slog-otel library.
import (
slogquickwit "github.com/samber/slog-quickwit"
slogotel "github.com/samber/slog-otel"
"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace"
)
func main() {
client := quickwit.NewWithDefault("http://localhost:7280", "my-index")
defer client.Stop() // flush and stop
tp := trace.NewTracerProvider(
trace.WithSampler(trace.AlwaysSample()),
)
tracer := tp.Tracer("hello/world")
ctx, span := tracer.Start(context.Background(), "foo")
defer span.End()
span.AddEvent("bar")
logger := slog.New(
slogquickwit.Option{
// ...
AttrFromContext: []func(ctx context.Context) []slog.Attr{
slogotel.ExtractOtelAttrFromContext([]string{"tracing"}, "trace_id", "span_id"),
},
}.NewQuickwitHandler(),
)
logger.ErrorContext(ctx, "a message")
}
