There is now a log package, which wraps the logrus methods used in
oxy. In addition to the methods that are used, there is a .Disable
method that disables logging by sending them to /dev/null.

Fixes #83.

I believe because of the extra layer, your wrapper will log incorrect lines, you should fix that.
Also I would like to avoid using global variables here.

Could you elaborate on that or give an example? Were are simply passing the arguments through.

I got it wrong, you mean line numbers, right?

Not sure how we could do that, apart from reintroducing something like the context logger that was removed in #50.

This is something we're facing too. But I have conflicted feelings about setting log settings per-module. Something I always like to rely on when merging a library, is whatever common settings I've linked to, are being honored, and someone downstream isn't able to override them without making it known to me.

In general Logrus could do with a per-package or per-module log setting.

sirupsen/logrus#625

Due to golang's mutable nature, such modifications are very difficult to track down in code.

On the other hand, I also buy into the "You break it, you buy it" paradigm. So you might argue that is the caller's responsibility.

I think in the end this is not what we want. We're favoring another approach:

I would prefer returning the "context logger" that used to be supported in oxy, which was a field/option settable on the structs. That would allow us to customize the logger, and allow us to set specific log level for oxy.

I prototyped that model, which you can find in the context-logger branch. (This branch only changes the forward package, which is the one that generates the most log messages for us. I could add something similar to the other packages as appropriate.)

Please tell us if you would merge something like that.

Yes, I'm in favor of this. Since Oxy is always used as a library, it makes sense for it to not force a global logger. This also means the provided logger override can then apply whatever processing it needs.

Okay, then let's continue in #93, which has the initial implementation for the forward package.
