Log Standards

Log Standards

• The unified log package github.com/openimsdk/open-im-server/internal/pkg/log should be used for all logging;
• Use structured logging formats: log.Infow, log.Warnw, log.Errorw, etc. For example: log.Infow("Update post function called");
• All logs should start with an uppercase letter and should not end with a .. For example: log.Infow("Update post function called");
• Use past tense. For example, use Could not delete B instead of Cannot delete B;
• Adhere to log level standards:
  • Debug level logs use log.Debugw;
  • Info level logs use log.Infow;
  • Warning level logs use log.Warnw;
  • Error level logs use log.Errorw;
  • Panic level logs use log.Panicw;
  • Fatal level logs use log.Fatalw.
• Log settings:
  • Development and test environments: The log level is set to debug, the log format can be set to console / json as needed, and caller is enabled;
  • Production environment: The log level is set to info, the log format is set to json, and caller is enabled. (Note: In the early stages of going online, to facilitate troubleshooting, the log level can be set to debug)
• When logging, avoid outputting sensitive information, such as passwords, keys, etc.
• If you are calling a logging function in a function/method with a context.Context parameter, it is recommended to use log.L(ctx).Infow() for logging.
