************ SYSLOG ************
It is used to send logs, i.e., metadata and all info related to any relevant activity happening.
It has 3 sections to it, but essensially works by sending the logs to a RabbitMQ service, which is a service which sends messages which never fail, asynchronously. This is stored in a temporary database, which is then sent to mongoDB database periodically.
To send a request, make use of the code given in the example.
SOME GENERAL THINGS TO KEEP NOTE OF:
1. The structure(JSON) of the data sent should be kept as such:
type Syslog struct {
ServiceName string `bson:"service_name"` (Fill in the name of service, eg, Kratos, Xenon, etc) ***** Has to be filled always!!! *****
StatusCode int `bson:"status_code"` (self explainatory)
Severity string `bson:"severity"` (Look at codes below, or refer to "syslog")
MsgName string `bson:"msg_name"` (A heading for the message)
Msg string `bson:"msg"` (content of the message)
InvokedBy string `bson:"invoked_by"` (in case its a log of an action done by a user, then the users email ID)
Result string `bson:"result"` (success/failure)
Batch int `bson:"batch"` (Not needed to fill, this is for the reference of the syslog service)
Timestamp time.Time `bson:"timestamp"` (time when the error occured)
CreatedAt time.Time `bson:"createdAt,omitempty"` (Not needed to fill)
}
The severity levels should be one of the following:
-
code Name of Log string to be filled (ensure correct case and spelling) -
0 Emergency emerg -
1 Alert alert -
2 Critical crit -
3 Error err -
4 Warning warning -
5 Notice notice -
6 Informational info -
7 Debug debug
