go-log

The logging library used by go-ipfs

go-log wraps zap to provide a logging facade. go-log manages logging instances and allows for their levels to be controlled individually.

Install

go get github.com/ipfs/go-log

Usage

Once the package is imported under the name logging, an instance of EventLogger can be created like so:

var log = logging.Logger("subsystem name")

It can then be used to emit log messages in plain printf-style messages at seven standard levels:

Levels may be set for all loggers:

lvl, err := logging.LevelFromString("error")
  if err != nil {
    panic(err)
  }
logging.SetAllLoggers(lvl)

or individually:

lvl, err := logging.LevelFromString("error")
  if err != nil {
    panic(err)
  }
logging.SetLogLevel("foo", "info")
