custom-logger

custom-logger

custom-logger is an example demonstrating how to override the default logging behavior of the Pion WebRTC stack.
By default, Pion logs everything to stdout.
This example shows how to inject a custom LoggerFactory to handle logs from every subsystem (ICE, DTLS, SCTP, DataChannel...).

Features

• Creates a custom logger that implements logging.LeveledLogger.
• Initializes two peer connections (offerer and answerer) locally.
• Establishes a WebRTC connection between them.
• Logs events from:
  • ICE candidate gathering
  • DTLS handshake
  • SCTP and DataChannel setup
• Prints logs with clear prefixes like customLogger Debug:.

Ideal for:

• Integrate with external monitoring systems
• Store logs to files or databases
• Debug complex WebRTC flows in a structured way

How to run

1. Install the example

go install github.com/pion/webrtc/v4/examples/custom-logger@latest

Make sure $(go env GOPATH)/bin is in your PATH.

You can add it to your PATH like this (zsh):

echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

2.Run

custom-logger or go run main.go

Example output

Creating logger for ice
Creating logger for dtls
Peer Connection State has changed: connected (answerer)
Peer Connection State has changed: connected (offerer)
customLogger Debug: Adding a new peer-reflexive candidate: 10.8.21.1:51196

You should see messages from our customLogger, as two PeerConnections start a session
