Logging from Go

Seq can accept logs from Go programs via GELF or directly from Logrus with Logruseq.

GELF

📘
Before sending events to Seq using GELF, the GELF input must be enabled.

The Graylog2/go-gelf package can be used to send events from the application as GELF messages using the standard log package:

package main

import (
    "gopkg.in/Graylog2/go-gelf.v2/gelf"
    "log"
)

func main() {
    var logger, err = gelf.NewUDPWriter("seq-server-uri:12201")

    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Failed to create UDP writer: %s", err)
    }

    // Don't prefix messages with a redundant timestamp etc.
    log.SetFlags(0)
    
    log.SetOutput(logger)

    log.Print("Hello, from go!")
}

Logrus

For Logrus setup, see the documentation for Logruseq.

OpenTelemetry Go SDK

The OpenTelemetry Go SDK can send logs and traces to Seq. See Ingestion with OpenTelemetry and Tracing from OpenTelemetry for more information.
