Logging Package

Structured logging capabilities for GoDoxy, including application logging, HTTP access logging, and in-memory log streaming.

Overview

This package provides structured logging for GoDoxy with three distinct subsystems:

• Application Logger: Zerolog-based console logger with level-aware formatting
• Access Logger: HTTP request/response logging with configurable formats, filters, and destinations
• In-Memory Logger: Circular buffer with WebSocket streaming for real-time log viewing

Primary Consumers

• internal/api/ - HTTP request logging
• internal/route/ - Route-level access logging
• WebUI - Real-time log streaming via WebSocket

Non-goals

• Log aggregation across multiple GoDoxy instances
• Persistent storage of application logs (access logs only)
• Structured logging output to external systems (Datadog, etc.)

Stability

Internal package with stable APIs. Exported interfaces (AccessLogger, MemLogger) are stable.

Packages

accesslog/

HTTP request/response logging with configurable formats, filters, and destinations.

See accesslog/README.md for full documentation.

memlogger/

In-memory circular buffer with WebSocket streaming for real-time log viewing.

See memlogger/README.md for full documentation.

Dependency and Integration Map

Internal Dependencies

• internal/task/task.go - Lifetime management
• internal/maxmind/ - IP geolocation for ACL logging
• pkg/gperr - Error handling

External Dependencies

• github.com/rs/zerolog - Structured logging
• github.com/puzpuzpuz/xsync/v4 - Concurrent maps
• golang.org/x/time/rate - Error rate limiting

Observability

Logs

Level	When
Debug	Buffer size adjustments, rotation checks
Info	Log rotation events, file opens/closes
Error	Write failures (rate-limited)

Failure Modes and Recovery

Failure Mode	Impact	Recovery
File write failure	Log entries dropped	Rate-limited error logging; task termination after 5 errors
Disk full	Rotation fails	Continue logging until space available
WebSocket client disconnect	Client misses logs	Client reconnects to receive new logs
Buffer overflow (memlogger)	Oldest entries truncated	Automatic truncation at 50% threshold

Testing Notes

• access_logger_test.go - Integration tests with mock file system
• file_logger_test.go - Reference counting tests
• back_scanner_test.go - Rotation boundary tests
