go-httplog

Robust, smart logger for Golang http request/response.

It provides way to log in details every request and response with chosen fields. It requires any structured logger that fits under httplog.FieldLogger interface.

It comes with useful integration with logrus, but it can be extend to use any logger. It fits into standard net/http middleware (http.Handler) pattern, but comes also with echo integration.

It comes with bunch of configurable fields. Not exhausting list of these:

ReqTimeField  = RequestField("req_time")
IDField       = RequestField("req_id")
RemoteIPField = RequestField("req_remote_ip")
HostField     = RequestField("req_host")
URIField      = RequestField("req_uri")
ReqArgsField  = RequestField("req_args")
MethodField   = RequestField("req_method")
PathField     = RequestField("req_path")
BytesInField  = RequestField("req_bytes_in")
AuthField     = RequestField("req_auth_header")

StatusField       = ResponseField("res_status")
BytesOutField     = ResponseField("res_bytes_out")
ResTimeField      = ResponseField("res_time")
ContentTypeField  = ResponseField("res_content_type")
LocationField     = ResponseField("res_location")
LocationArgsField = ResponseField("res_location_args")
LocationHostField = ResponseField("res_location_host")

Example:

package main

import (
    "net/http"
    
    "github.com/Bplotka/go-httplog"
    "github.com/Bplotka/go-httplog/logrus"
    "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
)

func main() {
    l := logrus.New()
    
    srv := http.Server{
        Handler: httplog.RegisterMiddleware(
            httplogrus.ToHTTPFieldLoggerDebug(l), // or ToHTTPFieldLoggerInfo if you want these logs to be in Info level.
            httplog.DefaultReqResConfig(), // or httplog.DefaultResponseOnlyConfig() for only log line per response. 
        )(
            http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
                // Your handler here...
                l.Info("Inside!")
            }),
        ),
    }
    
    err := srv.Serve(...)
    if err != nil {
        // handle err.
    }
}

Example effect:

• With DefaultReqResConfig on any request you will get:

Debug[0029] Received HTTP request                         req_bytes_in=0 req_host="127.0.0.1:<some-port>" req_method=GET req_path="...." req_remote_ip=127.0.0.1 req_time="2017-04-14T17:20:07+01:00" <any other field that will filled and configured>
Inside!
Debug[0029] Responding to HTTP request                    res_bytes_out=769 res_content_type="application/json" res_status=200 res_time="2017-04-14T17:20:07+01:00" <any other field that will filled and configured>

For redirection the log can be even more useful:

Debug[0029] Received HTTP request                         req_bytes_in=0 req_host="127.0.0.1:<some-port>" req_method=GET req_path="...." req_remote_ip=127.0.0.1 req_time="2017-04-14T17:20:07+01:00" <any other field that will filled and configured>
Inside!
Debug[0029] Redirecting HTTP request                      res_bytes_out=0 res_location_args="code=...&state=..." res_location_host="...." res_status=303 res_time="2017-04-14T17:20:07+01:00" <any other field that will filled and configured>"
