Terminology

  • Value - logged object converted to a string.
  • Key - identifies the logged value through records, it may be treated as the label for the logged value. Its look depends on output format, for example some formats may hide keys and output only values.
  • Pair - a key-value pair.
  • Log record or just record - set of key-value pairs flushed to a writer at once on a Log() call.
  • Filter - all records filtered before output. Filters may use keys, standalone values or ranges of values.
  • Output - records passed to the output after filtering. Each output has it's own io.Writer.
