gcplog

Boilerplate to set up slog in a way that is compatible with GCP. If you use slog with its default settings, GCP will fail to extract the severity and structured values out of the log. This snippet changes formatting so that GCP can parse log messages correctly.

Usage

Simply call gcplog.Setup(). Please note this will change the logger in slog for a new one. It will also enable debug logs if the environment variable DEBUG is set.

package main

import (
	"github.com/zoftko/gcplog"
	"log/slog"
)

func main() {
	gcplog.Setup()
	slog.Info("GCP will no longer detect this with a default severity", "random-key", "Will be parsed as well")
}
