## Introduction
This Go package provides a client for Grafana Loki, a horizontally-scalable, highly-available, multi-tenant log aggregation system. The client allows you to send log entries to a Loki server with various configuration options for performance and reliability.
## Installation
To install the Loki client, use the following go get command:
```
go get github.com/vedadiyan/lokiclient
```
## Quick Start
Here's a simple example to get you started:
```go
package main
import (
"context"
"github.com/vedadiyan/lokiclient"
"time"
)
func main() {
client := lokiclient.NewClient("http://loki:3100")
stream := lokiclient.NewStream("myapp", "module1", "function1", "trace123")
client.Info(context.Background(), stream, "log message")
ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
defer cancel()
client.Sync(ctx)
// Your application code here
time.Sleep(5 * time.Second)
}
```
## Core Concepts
### Stream
A `Stream` represents the metadata associated with a log entry. It's implemented as a `map[string]string`.
```go
stream := lokiclient.NewStream("myapp", "module1", "function1", "trace123")
```
You can also create a custom stream:
```go
customStream := lokiclient.NewStreamCustom(map[string]string{
"app": "myapp",
"environment": "production",
"server": "server01",
})
```
### Entry
An `Entry` combines a `Stream` and a `Value`. It's the basic unit of data sent to Loki.
## Client Configuration
### Creating a New Client
Create a new Loki client by specifying the Loki server address:
```go
client := lokiclient.NewClient("http://loki:3100")
```
### Client Options
You can customize the client behavior using the following options:
#### WithRetry
Configure retry behavior:
```go
lokiclient.WithRetry(3, time.Second)
```
This sets a maximum of 3 retries with a 1-second pause between retries.
#### WithBatchSync
Enable batched synchronization:
```go
lokiclient.WithBatchSync(100, 5*time.Second)
```
This batches log entries, sending them when either 100 entries are accumulated or 5 seconds have passed.
#### WithFallback
Add a fallback logger:
```go
lokiclient.WithFallback(myFallbackLogger)
```
This adds a fallback logger to use if sending to Loki fails.
#### WithLogLevel
Add log level:
```go
lokiclient.WithLogLevel(lokiclient.ERROR)
```
#### WithLogLevel
Add http timeout:
```go
lokiclient.WithHttpTimeout(time.Second * 10)
```
#### WithHttpClient
You can customize the HTTP client used by the Loki client:
```go
customHttpClient := &http.Client{
Timeout: 10 * time.Second,
}
lokiclient.WithHttpClient(customHttpClient)
```
## Logging Methods
The client provides methods for different log levels:
- `Trace(ctx context.Context, stream Stream, value Value)`
- `Debug(ctx context.Context, stream Stream, value Value)`
- `Info(ctx context.Context, stream Stream, value Value)`
- `Warn(ctx context.Context, stream Stream, value Value)`
- `Error(ctx context.Context, stream Stream, value Value)`
Example:
```go
client.Info(context.Background(), stream, "log message")
```
## Synchronization
Start the synchronization process:
```go
ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
defer cancel()
client.Sync(ctx)
```
This starts a goroutine that handles sending log entries to Loki.
## Batching and Performance
The client supports batching of log entries for improved performance. When batching is enabled, entries are grouped by their stream before being sent to Loki.
To enable batching:
```go
client := lokiclient.NewClient("http://loki:3100", client.WithBatchSync(100, 5*time.Second))
```
## Error Handling and Retries
The client automatically retries failed requests based on the configured retry settings. If all retries fail, it will attempt to use any configured fallback loggers.
## Fallback Loggers
Fallback loggers are used when the client fails to send logs to Loki after all retries. You can add multiple fallback loggers:
```go
lockiclient.WithFallback(consoleLogger, fileLogger)
```
## Advanced Usage
### Custom Stream Creation
Create streams with custom labels:
```go
stream := lokiclient.NewStreamCustom(map[string]string{
"app": "myapp",
"environment": "production",
"server": "server01",
})
```
### Manual Writing of Entries
You can manually write entries using the `Write` method:
```go
entries := []*lokiclient.Entry{
{
Stream: stream,
Values: [][]any{
{fmt.Sprintf("%d", time.Now().UnixNano()), "Message 1"},
{fmt.Sprintf("%d", time.Now().UnixNano()), "Message 2"},
},
},
}
err := client.Write(entries)
if err != nil {
// Handle error
}
```
