Feature

Update

New feature usage

Custom log file permissions

The log file permission flag created by configuring the FilePerm setting of hander.Config.

h1 := handler.MustFileHandler("/tmp/error.log",
    handler.WithLogLevels(slog.DangerLevels),
    handler.WithFilePerm(0644), // <- sets log file permissions
)

slog.PushHandler(h1)

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Split files using ModeCreate mode

about RotateMode:

  • ModeRename By default, every time rename handles rotation.
  • ModeCreate Create files only by split time

Setting RotateMode=ModeCreate allows log files to be created only by split time.

h1 := handler.MustRotateFile(
    "/tmp/error.log",
    rotatefile.EveryHour, // split by hour
    handler.WithLogLevels(slog.DangerLevels),
    handler.WithRotateMode(rotatefile.ModeCreate), // set RotateMode=ModeCreate
)

slog.PushHandler(h1)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Configure the logfile as /tmp/error.log in the above example. When set to ModeCreate mode, the file will not actually be created,
Instead, it will be created according to the actual split time:

/tmp/error.log.20230618_1500
/tmp/error.log.20230618_1600
/tmp/error.log.20230618_1700
...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Tips: The ModeCreate mode can be applied to command-line tool applications. Because they exit after each execution, ModeRename may not be able to split files on time.

And using ModeRename mode will have the following effect:

/tmp/error.log # <- Logs are always written to this file
/tmp/error.log.20230618_1500
/tmp/error.log.20230618_1600
/tmp/error.log.20230618_1700
...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
