Description
UPDATE: slog is currently available in Go 1.21, and we should make the effort to migrate to use slog.
Current Behavior
meshkit uses logrus for custom logging, and we created a custom logger that only returns certain fields such as
warninfoerrordebug
But we're lacking on the other fields that logrus has and we're using a mixture of logrus and our custom logger.
meshkit will benefit from having more fields to call from, when utilizing the custom logging tool in meshery. This will help migrate mesheryctl to use the custom logger, instead of calling logrus directly.
For this purpose of tracking the migration, we will be migrating to use slog instead, which is slightly basic but gives us a bit more ability to customize logging and use more fields.
Here are the fields that slog currently supports
InfoInfoCtxWarnWarnCtxDebugDebugCtxErrorErrorCtx
There is no built-in support for formatting strings, but slog allows us to create our own fields.
Desired Behavior
Opening this issue to track the progress.
