Using go (golang):
Is there a way to create a logger that outputs to a database?
Or more precisely, can I implement some kind of io.Writer interface that I can pass as the first argument to log.New()?
EG: (dbLogger would receive the output of the log and write it to the database)
logger := log.New(dbLogger, "dbLog: ", log.Lshortfile) logger.Print("This message will be stored in the database")
I would assume that I should just create my own database logging function, but I was curious to see if there is already a way of doing this using the existing tools in the language.
For some context, I'm using mgo.v2 to handle my mongodb database, but I don't see any io.Writer interfaces there other than in GridFS, which I think solves a different problem.
I'm also still getting my head around the language, so I may have used some terms above incorrecly. Any corrections are very welcome.
