Go Wiki: Resources for slog

This page links to projects that use or enhance slog, the structured logging package for the standard library.

Log formatting

• slog-formatter: Common formatters for slog + helpers for building your own: https://github.com/samber/slog-formatter
• ConsoleHandler (similar to Zap’s ConsoleEncoder): https://gist.github.com/wijayaerick/de3de10c47a79d5310968ba5ff101a19
• logf (attr {key} interpolation, rich tty output): https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/AndrewHarrisSPU/logf (uses lazy Handler stores: https://go.dev/play/p/psdD7KDF5fp )
• slogd - slog with duration https://github.com/kaihendry/slogd with video https://youtu.be/IsPa11N5pzI
• tinted (colorized) output: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/lmittmann/tint
• humane: a human-friendly (but still largely structured) slog Handler: https://github.com/telemachus/humane
• slug: a handler that prints colourful logs for humans: https://github.com/dotse/slug
• slogor: A colorful slog handler: https://gitlab.com/greyxor/slogor
• klog: the text format used by Kubernetes. Provides klog output routing when using the main package’s logger and a simpler logger that just writes to stderr. Both slog/logr and go-logr/logr APIs are supported.
• slogjson: Format using the upcoming JSON v2 library, with optional single-line pretty-printing: https://github.com/veqryn/slog-json

Logger bridges

• Zap Handler, a slog handler that uses Zap: https://github.com/chanchal1987/zaphandler
• zapr: starting with v1.3.0, both slog/logr and go-logr/logr APIs are supported by the same logger instance.
• A handler for GoKit: https://github.com/tjhop/slog-gokit.

Logging Middleware

• slogctx: store attributes or the logger in context, read any custom values from context: https://github.com/veqryn/slog-context
• slog-context/otel: automatically read and add OpenTelemetry TraceID and SpanID to logs, and can set Span error code: github.com/veqryn/slog-context/otel
• slogdedup: deduplication and sorting of attribute keys, with multiple policies, useful for json logging. Convenience methods to output for Stackdriver, Graylog, and others: https://github.com/veqryn/slog-dedup

HTTP server middleware

• slog-gin: Gin middleware for slog logger: https://github.com/samber/slog-gin
• slog-echo: Echo middleware for slog logger: https://github.com/samber/slog-echo
• slog-fiber: Fiber middleware for slog logger: https://github.com/samber/slog-fiber
• slog-chi: Chi middleware for slog logger: https://github.com/samber/slog-chi
