# Logstash hook for logrus <img src="http://i.imgur.com/hTeVwmJ.png" width="40" height="40" alt=":walrus:" class="emoji" title=":walrus:" /> [](https://travis-ci.org/bshuster-repo/logrus-logstash-hook)
|
|
Use this hook to send the logs to [Logstash](https://www.elastic.co/products/logstash) over both UDP and TCP.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"github.com/Sirupsen/logrus"
|
|
"github.com/bshuster-repo/logrus-logstash-hook"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
log := logrus.New()
|
|
hook, err := logrus_logstash.NewHook("tcp", "172.17.0.2:9999", "myappName")
|
|
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
log.Fatal(err)
|
|
}
|
|
log.Hooks.Add(hook)
|
|
ctx := log.WithFields(logrus.Fields{
|
|
"method": "main",
|
|
})
|
|
...
|
|
ctx.Info("Hello World!")
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is how it will look like:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
{
|
|
"@timestamp" => "2016-02-29T16:57:23.000Z",
|
|
"@version" => "1",
|
|
"level" => "info",
|
|
"message" => "Hello World!",
|
|
"method" => "main",
|
|
"host" => "172.17.0.1",
|
|
"port" => 45199,
|
|
"type" => "myappName"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
## Hook Fields
|
|
Fields can be added to the hook, which will always be in the log context.
|
|
This can be done when creating the hook:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
|
|
hook, err := logrus_logstash.NewHookWithFields("tcp", "172.17.0.2:9999", "myappName", logrus.Fields{
|
|
"hostname": os.Hostname(),
|
|
"serviceName": "myServiceName",
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or afterwards:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
|
|
hook.WithFields(logrus.Fields{
|
|
"hostname": os.Hostname(),
|
|
"serviceName": "myServiceName",
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
This allows you to set up the hook so logging is available immediately, and add important fields as they become available.
|
|
|
|
Single fields can be added/updated using 'WithField':
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
|
|
hook.WithField("status", "running")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Field prefix
|
|
|
|
The hook allows you to send logging to logstash and also retain the default std output in text format.
|
|
However to keep this console output readable some fields might need to be omitted from the default non-hooked log output.
|
|
Each hook can be configured with a prefix used to identify fields which are only to be logged to the logstash connection.
|
|
For example if you don't want to see the hostname and serviceName on each log line in the console output you can add a prefix:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
|
|
|
|
hook, err := logrus_logstash.NewHookWithFields("tcp", "172.17.0.2:9999", "myappName", logrus.Fields{
|
|
"_hostname": os.Hostname(),
|
|
"_serviceName": "myServiceName",
|
|
})
|
|
...
|
|
hook.WithPrefix("_")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
There are also constructors available which allow you to specify the prefix from the start.
|
|
The std-out will not have the '\_hostname' and '\_servicename' fields, and the logstash output will, but the prefix will be dropped from the name.
