logrusredis hook migrate to https://github.com/zhangjie2012/logrus-hook

a logrus hook print log to redis list(RPUSH command).

Background

logrus is my common structure log package for Go. It print log to standard output or files(by hook), so I can collect log through filebeat/journalbeat to ELK.

But in some scenario:

• ELK for me is too heavyweight. for example, grafana/loki is more suitable for me;
• I want file special logs for data statistics, like logrus.Fields marked {"logid": "xxx"};

So, one side filter log and insert log to message queue, the other side, consume log from message queue, insert to MongoDB/MySQL/Loki/...

Redis list can be used as a simple message queue by RPUSH LPOP. Other message queue tool (Kafka) can also as one choose, but I like redis(it simple deploy, simple use).

Install

go get github.com/zhangjie2012/logrusredis-hook

Usage

  option := RedisOption{
	  Addr:     "localhost:6379",
	  Password: "",
	  DB:       0,
	  Key:      "logrusredis.hook",
  }
  hook, _ := NewHook(appName, &option, nil)
  logrus.AddHook(hook)

Sometime, We want customize inserted redis struct, you can customize a LogWashFunc, checkout logrusredis_test.go file.
