accesslog

A middleware to record the access logs for http roundtrip. The recording proccess is asynchronous so you don't need to worry about big log contents will block the http roundtrip.

install

go get github.com/ryandeng/accesslog

features

• the format of each line is nanotimestamp, method, URI, request header, request body (only for application/json), status, response body, response body (only for application/json), response length, elapsed time
• least memory allocation
• automatically rotate log (the threshold is 1800MB)
• write log contents asynchronously

example

func main() {
	conf := &accesslog.Conf{
		Filename:     "./access/example.log", // the access log dir+name, dir will be generated if it doesn't exist
		RequestBody:  true, // whether to record request body (only for application/json)
		ResponseBody: true, // whether to record response body (only for application/json)
	}

	mux := http.NewServeMux()
	mux.HandleFunc("/abc", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
		w.Header().Set("Content-type", "application/json")
		resp := map[string]string{
			"user":     "Peter",
			"position": "manager",
		}
		json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(resp)
	})

	http.ListenAndServe(":8080", accesslog.Handler(conf, mux))
}

If you are using some gracedown http framework, you can call accesslog.Flush() to flush the contents to the disk in your gracedown procedure.
