This packages is a replacement for glog in projects that use the go-kit logger.

It is inspired by istio's glog package for zap: https://github.com/istio/glog

Override the official glog package with this one. This simply replaces the code in vendor/golang/glog with the code of this package.

With dep

In your Gopkg.toml:

[[override]]
  name = "github.com/golang/glog"
  source = "github.com/kubermatic/glog-gokit"

With Go modules

Add this line to your go.mod file:

replace github.com/golang/glog => github.com/kubermatic/glog-gokit master

In your main.go:

// Import the package like it is original glog
import "github.com/golang/glog"


// Create go-kit logger in your main.go
logger := log.NewLogfmtLogger(log.NewSyncWriter(os.Stdout))
logger = log.With(logger, "ts", log.DefaultTimestampUTC)
logger = log.With(logger, "caller", log.DefaultCaller)
logger = level.NewFilter(logger, level.AllowAll())

// Overriding the default glog with our go-kit glog implementation.
// Thus we need to pass it our go-kit logger object.
glog.SetLogger(logger)

Setting the logger to the glog package MUST happen before using glog in any package.

This table is rather opinionated and build for use with the Kubernetes' Go client.
