Demonstrates how to use a bash logger.

This one is taken from tfenv

Example

./use_logger.sh

Bashlog Logging Library Features

BASHLOG_COLOURS

Integer (Default: 1)

To disable colouring of console output, set to 0.

BASHLOG_DATE_FORMAT

String (Default: +%F %T)

The display format for the date as passed to the date binary to generate a datestamp used as a prefix to:

  • FILE type log file lines.
  • Each console output line when BASHLOG_EXTRA=1
BASHLOG_EXTRA

Integer (Default: 0)

By default, console output from tfenv does not print a date stamp or log severity.

To enable this functionality, making normal output equivalent to FILE log output, set to 1.

BASHLOG_FILE

Integer (Default: 0)

Set to 1 to enable plain text logging to file (FILE type logging).

The default path for log files is defined by /tmp/$(basename $0).log Each executable logs to its own file.

e.g.

BASHLOG_FILE=1 tfenv use latest

will log to /tmp/tfenv-use.log

BASHLOG_FILE_PATH

String (Default: /tmp/$(basename ${0}).log)

To specify a single file as the target for all FILE type logging regardless of the executing script.

BASHLOG_I_PROMISE_TO_BE_CAREFUL_CUSTOM_EVAL_PREFIX

String (Default: "")

BE CAREFUL - MISUSE WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU EVER LOVED

This variable allows you to pass a string containing a command that will be executed using eval in order to produce a prefix to each console output line, and each FILE type log entry.

e.g.

BASHLOG_I_PROMISE_TO_BE_CAREFUL_CUSTOM_EVAL_PREFIX='echo "${$$} "'

will prefix every log line with the calling process' PID.

BASHLOG_JSON

Integer (Default: 0)

Set to 1 to enable JSON logging to file (JSON type logging).

The default path for log files is defined by /tmp/$(basename $0).log.json Each executable logs to its own file.

e.g.

BASHLOG_JSON=1 tfenv use latest

will log in JSON format to /tmp/tfenv-use.log.json

JSON log content:

{"timestamp":"<date +%s>","level":"<log-level>","message":"<log-content>"}

BASHLOG_JSON_PATH

String (Default: /tmp/$(basename ${0}).log.json)

To specify a single file as the target for all JSON type logging regardless of the executing script.

BASHLOG_SYSLOG

Integer (Default: 0)

To log to syslog using the logger binary, set this to 1.

The basic functionality is thus:

local tag="${BASHLOG_SYSLOG_TAG:-$(basename "${0}")}";
local facility="${BASHLOG_SYSLOG_FACILITY:-local0}";
local pid="${$}";

logger --id="${pid}" -t "${tag}" -p "${facility}.${severity}" "${syslog_line}"
BASHLOG_SYSLOG_FACILITY

String (Default: local0)

The syslog facility to specify when using SYSLOG type logging.

BASHLOG_SYSLOG_TAG

String (Default: $(basename $0))

The syslog tag to specify when using SYSLOG type logging.

Defaults to the PID of the calling process.
