go-logx - High-Performance Structured Logging Package

go-logX is a highly concurrent, memory-efficient, and production-grade logging package built on top of Uber's Zap library. It provides structured JSON logging with automatic sensitive data masking, zero-allocation patterns, and robust concurrency safety.

Features

Core Features

• High Performance: Zero-allocation patterns and low GC pressure
• Structured JSON Logging: All logs output in structured JSON format
• Log Levels: TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL with configurable minimum level
• UTC Timestamps: RFC3339Nano formatted timestamps
• Sensitive Data Masking: Automatic redaction of passwords, tokens, emails, etc.
• Concurrency Safe: Thread-safe operations across multiple goroutines
• Lightweight: Minimal memory overhead and efficient resource usage
• Production Ready: Graceful failure handling, never panics

Structured Fields

• timestamp: RFC3339Nano formatted UTC timestamp
• level: Log level (TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL)

Installation

go get go-logx

Quick Start

Basic Usage

package main

import logx "github.com/seasbee/go-logx"

func main() {
    // Initialize with default configuration
    logx.InitDefault()
    
    // Log messages
    logx.Info("Application started")
    logx.Debug("Debug information", logx.String("component", "main"))
    logx.Warn("Warning message", logx.Int("warning_code", 1001))
    logx.Error("Error occurred", logx.String("error_type", "validation"))
}

Custom Configuration

config := &logx.Config{
    Level:       logx.DebugLevel,
    Development: true,
    AddCaller:   true,
    AddStacktrace: true,
}

logger, err := logx.New(config)
if err != nil {
    logx.Fatal("Failed to create logger", logx.ErrorField(err))
}

Structured Logging

logx.Info("User action",
    logx.String("action", "login"),
    logx.String("user_id", "user123"),
    logx.String("ip_address", "192.168.1.1"),
    logx.Int("response_time_ms", 150),
    logx.Bool("success", true),
)

Sensitive Data Masking

LogX automatically masks sensitive data for keys like password, token, email, ssn, etc.

logx.Info("User login attempt",
    logx.String("username", "john.doe"),
    logx.String("password", "secretpassword123"), // Masked as "se***23"
    logx.String("email", "john.doe@example.com"), // Masked as "jo***om"
    logx.String("token", "jwt_token_here"),       // Masked as "jw***re"
    logx.String("normal_field", "visible_value"), // Not masked
)

Custom Sensitive Keys

// Add custom sensitive keys
logx.AddSensitiveKey("custom_secret")
logx.AddSensitiveKey("api_secret")

// Remove sensitive keys
logx.RemoveSensitiveKey("email")

Logger with Context

userLogger := logx.With(
    logx.String("user_id", "user456"),
    logx.String("session_id", "sess_789"),
    logx.String("request_id", "req_123"),
)

userLogger.Info("User performed action", logx.String("action", "update_profile"))

Error Logging

err := errors.New("database connection failed")
logx.Error("Database operation failed",
    logx.ErrorField(err),
    logx.String("operation", "user_lookup"),
    logx.Int("retry_count", 3),
)

Configuration Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
Level	Level	InfoLevel	Minimum log level
OutputPath	string	""	Output file path (empty for stdout)
Development	bool	false	Development mode (console output)
AddCaller	bool	true	Include caller information
AddStacktrace	bool	true	Include stack traces for errors

Log Levels

• TraceLevel: Detailed trace information
• DebugLevel: Detailed debug information
• InfoLevel: General information messages
• WarnLevel: Warning messages
• ErrorLevel: Error messages
• FatalLevel: Fatal errors (causes program exit)

Field Types

• String(key, value): String field

Sensitive Data Masking

Default Sensitive Keys

• 5+ characters: fi***st (first two and last two)

Concurrency Safety

LogX is designed for high-concurrency environments:

• Thread-safe logging operations
• Concurrent logger creation
• Safe field operations
• Concurrent sensitive key management
• No data races under load

Performance

Production Usage

Best Practices

1. Initialize Early: Call logx.InitDefault() or logx.Init(config) at application startup
2. Use Structured Fields: Include relevant context in log messages
3. Handle Errors: Use logx.ErrorField(err) for error logging
4. Sync on Shutdown: Call logx.Sync() before application exit
5. Configure Appropriately: Set appropriate log levels for different environments

Environment Configuration

var config *logx.Config

switch os.Getenv("ENV") {
case "development":
    config = &logx.Config{
        Level:       logx.DebugLevel,
        Development: true,
        AddCaller:   true,
    }
case "production":
    config = &logx.Config{
        Level:       logx.InfoLevel,
        Development: false,
        AddCaller:   true,
        AddStacktrace: true,
    }
default:
    config = logx.DefaultConfig()
}

logx.Init(config)
