app.Logger() provides access to a standard slog.Logger implementation that
writes any logs into the database so that they can be later explored from the PocketBase
Dashboard > Logs section.
For better performance and to minimize blocking on hot paths, logs are written with debounce and on batches:
- 3 seconds after the last debounced log write
- when the batch threshold is reached (currently 200)
- right before app termination to attempt saving everything from the existing logs queue
Log methods
All standard
slog.Logger
methods are available but below is a list with some of the most notable ones.
Debug(message, attrs...)
app.Logger().Debug("Debug message!")
app.Logger().Debug(
"Debug message with attributes!",
"name", "John Doe",
"id", 123,
) Info(message, attrs...)
app.Logger().Info("Info message!")
app.Logger().Info(
"Info message with attributes!",
"name", "John Doe",
"id", 123,
) Warn(message, attrs...)
app.Logger().Warn("Warning message!")
app.Logger().Warn(
"Warning message with attributes!",
"name", "John Doe",
"id", 123,
) Error(message, attrs...)
app.Logger().Error("Error message!")
app.Logger().Error(
"Error message with attributes!",
"id", 123,
"error", err,
) With(attrs...)
With(atrs...) creates a new local logger that will "inject" the specified attributes with each
following log.
l := app.Logger().With("total", 123)
// results in log with data {"total": 123}
l.Info("message A")
// results in log with data {"total": 123, "name": "john"}
l.Info("message B", "name", "john") WithGroup(name)
WithGroup(name) creates a new local logger that wraps all logs attributes under the specified
group name.
l := app.Logger().WithGroup("sub")
// results in log with data {"sub": { "total": 123 }}
l.Info("message A", "total", 123) Logs settings
You can control various log settings like logs retention period, minimal log level, request IP logging, etc. from the logs settings panel:
