Types

type Logger

type Logger struct {
	// Filename is the file to write logs to.  Backup log files will be retained
	// in the same directory.  It uses <processname>-lumberjack.log in
	// os.TempDir() if empty.
	Filename string `json:"filename" yaml:"filename"`

	// MaxSize is the maximum size in megabytes of the log file before it gets
	// rotated. It defaults to 100 megabytes.
	MaxSize int `json:"maxsize" yaml:"maxsize"`

	// MaxAge is the maximum number of days to retain old log files based on the
	// timestamp encoded in their filename.  Note that a day is defined as 24
	// hours and may not exactly correspond to calendar days due to daylight
	// savings, leap seconds, etc. The default is not to remove old log files
	// based on age.
	MaxAge int `json:"maxage" yaml:"maxage"`

	// MaxBackups is the maximum number of old log files to retain.  The default
	// is to retain all old log files (though MaxAge may still cause them to get
	// deleted.)
	MaxBackups int `json:"maxbackups" yaml:"maxbackups"`

	// LocalTime determines if the time used for formatting the timestamps in
	// backup files is the computer's local time.  The default is to use UTC
	// time.
	LocalTime bool `json:"localtime" yaml:"localtime"`

	// Compress determines if the rotated log files should be compressed
	// using gzip. The default is not to perform compression.
	Compress bool `json:"compress" yaml:"compress"`

	// Split file name
	PatternFileName string `json:"patternfilename" yaml:"patternfilename"`
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (*Logger) Close

func (l *Logger) Close() error

Close implements io.Closer, and closes the current logfile.

func (*Logger) Rotate

func (l *Logger) Rotate() error

Rotate causes Logger to close the existing log file and immediately create a new one. This is a helper function for applications that want to initiate rotations outside of the normal rotation rules, such as in response to SIGHUP. After rotating, this initiates compression and removal of old log files according to the configuration.

func (*Logger) Write

func (l *Logger) Write(p []byte) (n int, err error)

Write implements io.Writer. If a write would cause the log file to be larger than MaxSize, the file is closed, renamed to include a timestamp of the current time, and a new log file is created using the original log file name. If the length of the write is greater than MaxSize, an error is returned.
