Redis Hook for Logrus

Redis Hook for Logrus

Why?

Useful for centralized logging, using a RELK stack (Redis, Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana). When the hook is installed, all log messages are sent to a Redis server, in Logstash message V0 or V1 format, ready to be parsed/processed by Logstash.

Install

$ go get github.com/rogierlommers/logrus-redis-hook

Usage

package main

import (
	log "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
	"github.com/rogierlommers/logrus-redis-hook"
)

func init() {
	hook, err := logredis.NewHook("localhost", 6379, "my_redis_key")
	if err == nil {
		log.AddHook(hook)
	}
}

func main() {
	// when hook is injected succesfully, logs will be send to redis server
	log.Info("just some logging...")
}
