Slog sampling policy

A middleware that samples incoming records which caps the CPU and I/O load of logging while attempting to preserve a representative subset of your logs.

🚀 Install
go get github.com/samber/slog-sampling
Compatibility: go >= 1.20.3
This library is v0 and follows SemVer strictly. On slog final release (go 1.21), this library will go v1.
No breaking changes will be made to exported APIs before v1.0.0.
💡 Usage
GoDoc: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/samber/slog-sampling
The sampling middleware can be used standalone or with slog-multi helper.
Handler options
type Option struct {
// This will log the first `First` log entries with the same level and message
// in a `Tick` interval as-is. Following that, it will allow through
// every `Thereafter`th log entry with the same level and message in that interval.
Tick time.Duration
First uint64
Thereafter uint64
// Optional hooks
OnAccepted func(context.Context, slog.Record)
OnDropped func(context.Context, slog.Record)
}
If Thereafter is zero, the middleware will drop all log entries after the first First records in that interval.
Using slog-multi
import (
slogmulti "github.com/samber/slog-multi"
slogsampling "github.com/samber/slog-sampling"
"golang.org/x/exp/slog"
)
// Will print the first 10 entries having the same level+message, then every 10th messages until next interval.
option := slogsampling.Option{
Tick: 5 * time.Second,
First: 10,
Thereafter: 10,
OnAccepted: func(context.Context, slog.Record) {
// ...
},
OnDropped: func(context.Context, slog.Record) {
// ...
},
}
logger := slog.New(
slogmulti.
Pipe(option.NewSamplingMiddleware()).
Handler(slog.NewJSONHandler(os.Stdout)),
)
Standalone
import (
slogmulti "github.com/samber/slog-multi"
slogsampling "github.com/samber/slog-sampling"
"golang.org/x/exp/slog"
)
// Will print the first 10 entries having the same level+message, then every 10th messages until next interval.
option := slogsampling.Option{
Tick: 5 * time.Second,
First: 10,
Thereafter: 10,
OnAccepted: func(context.Context, slog.Record) {
// ...
},
OnDropped: func(context.Context, slog.Record) {
// ...
},
}
logger := slog.New(
option.NewSamplingMiddleware()(
slog.NewJSONHandler(os.Stdout),
),
)
