FAQPage Schema

How do I add structured logging to my Go service?▼

Add structured logging to a Go service by embedding a logger directly into your service struct, allowing you to attach contextual fields to every log entry and standardize output across in-process components.

How do I route info logs to stdout and errors to stderr in Go?▼

Route info logs to stdout and errors to stderr in Go by using an embedded structured logger that supports dual-level output, automatically directing standard operational info and error events to separate console streams.

How do I expose Prometheus metrics for log events in a Go application?▼

Expose Prometheus metrics for log events in a Go application by integrating an embedded structured logger that tracks and exports volume and error rates directly to your monitoring endpoint.

Can I use colorized text for development and JSON for production logs in Go?▼

You can output colorized text for development and JSON for production logs in Go by configuring an embedded structured logger that supports dual-level output based on your active environment.

Do I need to install external dependencies to embed a logger in my Go struct?▼

You need to install the required embedlog library to embed the logger into your Go service struct, which then provides structured output, contextual fields, and Prometheus metrics without external routing dependencies.
