klog
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
klog is a permanent fork of https://github.com/golang/glog.
|
|
|
|
## Why was klog created?
|
|
|
|
The decision to create klog was one that wasn't made lightly, but it was necessary due to some
|
|
drawbacks that are present in [glog](https://github.com/golang/glog). Ultimately, the fork was created due to glog not being under active development; this can be seen in the glog README:
|
|
|
|
> The code in this repo [...] is not itself under development
|
|
|
|
This makes us unable to solve many use cases without a fork. The factors that contributed to needing feature development are listed below:
|
|
|
|
* `glog` [presents a lot "gotchas"](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/61006) and introduces challenges in containerized environments, all of which aren't well documented.
|
|
* `glog` doesn't provide an easy way to test logs, which detracts from the stability of software using it
|
|
* A long term goal is to implement a logging interface that allows us to add context, change output format, etc.
|
|
|

How to use klog
|
|
===============
|
|
- Replace imports for `github.com/golang/glog` with `k8s.io/klog`
|
|
- Use `klog.InitFlags(nil)` explicitly for initializing global flags as we no longer use `init()` method to register the flags
|
|
- You can now use `log_file` instead of `log_dir` for logging to a single file (See `examples/log_file/usage_log_file.go`)
|
|
- If you want to redirect everything logged using klog somewhere else (say syslog!), you can use `klog.SetOutput()` method and supply a `io.Writer`. (See `examples/set_output/usage_set_output.go`)
|
|
- For more logging conventions (See [Logging Conventions](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/sig-instrumentation/logging.md))
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: please use the newer go versions that support semantic import versioning in modules, ideally go 1.11.4 or greater.
|
|
|
|
### Coexisting with glog
|
|
This package can be used side by side with glog. [This example](examples/coexist_glog/coexist_glog.go) shows how to initialize and syncronize flags from the global `flag.CommandLine` FlagSet. In addition, the example makes use of stderr as combined output by setting `alsologtostderr` (or `logtostderr`) to `true`.

glog
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
Leveled execution logs for Go.
|
|
|
|
This is an efficient pure Go implementation of leveled logs in the
|
|
manner of the open source C++ package
|
|
https://github.com/google/glog
|
|
|
|
By binding methods to booleans it is possible to use the log package
|
|
without paying the expense of evaluating the arguments to the log.
|
|
Through the -vmodule flag, the package also provides fine-grained
|
|
control over logging at the file level.
|
|
|
|
The comment from glog.go introduces the ideas:
|
|
|
|
Package glog implements logging analogous to the Google-internal
|
|
C++ INFO/ERROR/V setup. It provides functions Info, Warning,
|
|
Error, Fatal, plus formatting variants such as Infof. It
|
|
also provides V-style logging controlled by the -v and
|
|
-vmodule=file=2 flags.
|
|
|
|
Basic examples:
|
|
|
|
glog.Info("Prepare to repel boarders")
|
|
|
|
glog.Fatalf("Initialization failed: %s", err)
|
|
|
|
See the documentation for the V function for an explanation
|
|
of these examples:
|
|
|
|
if glog.V(2) {
|
|
glog.Info("Starting transaction...")
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
glog.V(2).Infoln("Processed", nItems, "elements")
|
|
|
|
|
|
The repository contains an open source version of the log package
|
|
used inside Google. The master copy of the source lives inside
|
|
Google, not here. The code in this repo is for export only and is not itself
|
|
under development. Feature requests will be ignored.
