tracing-logstash

The absolute minimum amount of code I could get away with for writing tracing messages/logs in the https://github.com/logstash/logstash-logback-encoder#standard-fields format.

Currently built for use in a single application with a single log consumer.

Installation

You can include this library in your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies]
tracing-logstash = "0.6.1"

Usage

fn main() {
    let logger = tracing_logstash::Layer::default()
        .event_format(tracing_logstash::logstash::LogstashFormat::default()
            .with_constants(vec![
                ("service.name", "tracing-logstash".to_owned()),
            ])
        );

    let env_filter = EnvFilter::try_from_default_env()
        .or_else(|_| EnvFilter::try_new("info"))
        .unwrap();

    let collector = Registry::default().with(logger).with(env_filter);

    tracing::subscriber::set_global_default(collector).unwrap();
    
    tracing::info!("Hello, world!");
}
