// Package logr defines abstract interfaces for logging. Packages can depend on
// these interfaces and callers can implement logging in whatever way is
// appropriate.
//
// This design derives from Dave Cheney's blog:
// http://dave.cheney.net/2015/11/05/lets-talk-about-logging
//
// This is a BETA grade API. Until there is a significant 2nd implementation,
// I don't really know how it will change.
//
// The logging specifically makes it non-trivial to use format strings, to encourage
// attaching structured information instead of unstructured format strings.
//
// Usage
//
// Logging is done using a Logger. Loggers can have name prefixes and named
// values attached, so that all log messages logged with that Logger have some
// base context associated.
//
// The term "key" is used to refer to the name associated with a particular
// value, to disambiguate it from the general Logger name.
//
// For instance, suppose we're trying to reconcile the state of an object, and
// we want to log that we've made some decision.
//
// With the traditional log package, we might write:
// log.Printf(
// "decided to set field foo to value %q for object %s/%s",
// targetValue, object.Namespace, object.Name)
//
// With logr's structured logging, we'd write:
// // elsewhere in the file, set up the logger to log with the prefix of "reconcilers",
// // and the named value target-type=Foo, for extra context.
// log := mainLogger.WithName("reconcilers").WithValues("target-type", "Foo")
//
// // later on...
// log.Info("setting field foo on object", "value", targetValue, "object", object)
//
// Depending on our logging implementation, we could then make logging decisions
// based on field values (like only logging such events for objects in a certain
// namespace), or copy the structured information into a structured log store.
//
// For logging errors, Logger has a method called Error. Suppose we wanted to
// log an error while reconciling. With the traditional log package, we might
// write:
// log.Errorf("unable to reconcile object %s/%s: %v", object.Namespace, object.Name, err)
//
// With logr, we'd instead write:
// // assuming the above setup for log
// log.Error(err, "unable to reconcile object", "object", object)
//
// This functions similarly to:
// log.Info("unable to reconcile object", "error", err, "object", object)
//
// However, it ensures that a standard key for the error value ("error") is used
// across all error logging. Furthermore, certain implementations may choose to
// attach additional information (such as stack traces) on calls to Error, so
// it's preferred to use Error to log errors.
//
// Parts of a log line
//
// Each log message from a Logger has four types of context:
// logger name, log verbosity, log message, and the named values.
//
// The Logger name constists of a series of name "segments" added by successive
// calls to WithName. These name segments will be joined in some way by the
// underlying implementation. It is strongly reccomended that name segements
// contain simple identifiers (letters, digits, and hyphen), and do not contain
// characters that could muddle the log output or confuse the joining operation
// (e.g. whitespace, commas, periods, slashes, brackets, quotes, etc).
//
// Log verbosity represents how little a log matters. Level zero, the default,
// matters most. Increasing levels matter less and less. Try to avoid lots of
// different verbosity levels, and instead provide useful keys, logger names,
// and log messages for users to filter on. It's illegal to pass a log level
// below zero.
//
// The log message consists of a constant message attached to the the log line.
// This should generally be a simple description of what's occuring, and should
// never be a format string.
//
// Variable information can then be attached using named values (key/value
// pairs). Keys are arbitrary strings, while values may be any Go value.
//
// Key Naming Conventions
//
// Keys are not strictly required to conform to any specification or regex, but
// it is recommended that they:
// * be human-readable and meaningful (not auto-generated or simple ordinals)
// * be constant (not dependent on input data)
// * contain only printable characters
// * not contain whitespace or punctuation
//
// These guidelines help ensure that log data is processed properly regardless
// of the log implementation. For example, log implementations will try to
// output JSON data or will store data for later database (e.g. SQL) queries.
//
// While users are generally free to use key names of their choice, it's
// generally best to avoid using the following keys, as they're frequently used
// by implementations:
//
// - `"caller"`: the calling information (file/line) of a particular log line.
// - `"error"`: the underlying error value in the `Error` method.
// - `"level"`: the log level.
// - `"logger"`: the name of the associated logger.
// - `"msg"`: the log message.
// - `"stacktrace"`: the stack trace associated with a particular log line or
// error (often from the `Error` message).
// - `"ts"`: the timestamp for a log line.
//
// Implementations are encouraged to make use of these keys to represent the
// above concepts, when neccessary (for example, in a pure-JSON output form, it
// would be necessary to represent at least message and timestamp as ordinary
// named values).
package logr
// TODO: consider adding back in format strings if they're really needed
// TODO: consider other bits of zap/zapcore functionality like ObjectMarshaller (for arbitrary objects)
// TODO: consider other bits of glog functionality like Flush, InfoDepth, OutputStats
// Logger represents the ability to log messages, both errors and not.
type Logger interface {
// Enabled tests whether this Logger is enabled. For example, commandline
// flags might be used to set the logging verbosity and disable some info
// logs.
Enabled() bool
// Info logs a non-error message with the given key/value pairs as context.
//
// The msg argument should be used to add some constant description to
// the log line. The key/value pairs can then be used to add additional
// variable information. The key/value pairs should alternate string
// keys and arbitrary values.
Info(msg string, keysAndValues ...interface{})
// Error logs an error, with the given message and key/value pairs as context.
// It functions similarly to calling Info with the "error" named value, but may
// have unique behavior, and should be preferred for logging errors (see the
// package documentations for more information).
//
// The msg field should be used to add context to any underlying error,
// while the err field should be used to attach the actual error that
// triggered this log line, if present.
Error(err error, msg string, keysAndValues ...interface{})
// V returns an Logger value for a specific verbosity level, relative to
// this Logger. In other words, V values are additive. V higher verbosity
// level means a log message is less important. It's illegal to pass a log
// level less than zero.
V(level int) Logger
// WithValues adds some key-value pairs of context to a logger.
// See Info for documentation on how key/value pairs work.
WithValues(keysAndValues ...interface{}) Logger
// WithName adds a new element to the logger's name.
// Successive calls with WithName continue to append
// suffixes to the logger's name. It's strongly reccomended
// that name segments contain only letters, digits, and hyphens
// (see the package documentation for more information).
