In some deployments, you'll want to report errors by email. If you add this hook, an email will send for the following levels:
- Error
- Fatal
- Panic
The subject is of the form APPLICATION_NAME - LEVEL and the body contains the timestamp and the message.
Install the package with go:
go get github.com/zbindenren/logrus_mailFor APPLICATION_NAME, substitute a short string that will identify your application or service in the logs.
import (
"log/syslog"
"github.com/Sirupsen/logrus"
"github.com/zbindenren/logrus_mail"
)
func main() {
log := logrus.New()
// if you do not need authentication for your smtp host
hook, err := logrus_mail.NewMailHook("APPLICATION_NAME", "HOST", PORT, "FROM", "TO")
if err == nil {
log.Hooks.Add(hook)
}
}Example with authentication:
// if you need authentication for your smtp host
hook, err := logrus_mail.NewMailAuthHook("APPLICATION_NAME", "HOST", PORT, "FROM", "TO", "USERNAME", "PASSWORD)If you want to send mails with gmail:
hook, err := logrus_mail.NewMailAuthHook("testapp", "smtp.gmail.com", 587, "user.name@gmail.com", "user.name@gmail.com", "user.name", "password")
