logutils
logutils is a Go package that augments the standard library "log" package to make logging a bit more modern, without fragmenting the Go ecosystem with new logging packages.
The simplest thing that could possibly work
Presumably your application already uses the default log package. To switch, you'll want your code to look like the following:
package main
import (
"log"
"os"
"github.com/hashicorp/logutils"
)
func main() {
filter := &logutils.LevelFilter{
Levels: []logutils.LogLevel{"DEBUG", "WARN", "ERROR"},
MinLevel: logutils.LogLevel("WARN"),
Writer: os.Stderr,
}
log.SetOutput(filter)
log.Print("[DEBUG] Debugging") // this will not print
log.Print("[WARN] Warning") // this will
log.Print("[ERROR] Erring") // and so will this
log.Print("Message I haven't updated") // and so will this
}
This logs to standard error exactly like go's standard logger. Any log messages you haven't converted to have a level will continue to print as before.

Types ¶
type LevelFilter ¶
type LevelFilter struct {
// Levels is the list of log levels, in increasing order of
// severity. Example might be: {"DEBUG", "WARN", "ERROR"}.
Levels []LogLevel
// MinLevel is the minimum level allowed through
MinLevel LogLevel
// The underlying io.Writer where log messages that pass the filter
// will be set.
Writer io.Writer
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
LevelFilter is an io.Writer that can be used with a logger that will filter out log messages that aren't at least a certain level.
Once the filter is in use somewhere, it is not safe to modify the structure.
func (*LevelFilter) Check ¶
func (f *LevelFilter) Check(line []byte) bool
Check will check a given line if it would be included in the level filter.
func (*LevelFilter) SetMinLevel ¶
func (f *LevelFilter) SetMinLevel(min LogLevel)
SetMinLevel is used to update the minimum log level
