Products that do what Echopraxia, a better Java Logging API does

I've been working on logging for a while and I've released and open sourced a new Java logging API I'm really happy with. Echopraxia [1] is a Java logging API like SLF4J, but built around structured logging, i.e. the basic log entry is a JSON object and log files are typically NDJSON. It also has conditions, context, and also has semantic and fluent logging options. Here's a Spring Boot Example [2]. And here's my blog post [3].

    Hi HN, have been working on this as a side project, would appreciate any feedback :) LogUnify is built around schemas based on protobuf and all the events in LogUnify are structured. By schematizing events, we offer the following benefits: - Consistency: All the events across all platforms and languages are produced in a uniform way with the generated type-safe SDKs, which ensures data consistency from the root. - Shared Understanding: Event schemas with rich data types and metadata are self-explained, which enables different departments from developers to business stakeholders to share the…

    A few years ago, my team moved from Java to Go. Working on Go projects, we came across a variety of logging frameworks with different APIs outputting messages in different formats. Go seemed to be lacking a logging abstraction like slf4j, which has been so invaluable to the Java ecosystem. Without that abstraction layer, the APIs for configuring logging vary wildly across projects, and libraries must either add a dependency on one of those frameworks or simply avoid structured logging altogether. Dazl is a logging abstraction layer that decouples the logging API from specific Go logging…

    I've just released rust-loguru, a logging library for Rust that aims to combine intuitive API design (inspired by Go/Python's Loguru) with Rust's performance characteristics. Some highlights: - Consistently outperforms the standard log crate by 50-80% in benchmarks. - Multiple log levels and an extensible handler system -File rotation with better performance than log4rs and other alternatives - Error handling utilities and context helpers I built this because I wanted a logger that was both ergonomic to use and high-performance. The benchmarks comparing it to slog, log, and tracing are…

    Hey all, Just opened a GitHub account and created this project. This is my first time open-sourcing anything, and also the first time I've used GitHub (and also one of the first times I've used any sort of revision-control system at all). I'm looking for any and all constructive criticism, and if you decide to use my lil' project, it'd be awesome if you dropped me a line and said so! Thanks! https://github.com/andrew-d/cpplog

    Relatively simple currently, but figured I'd post for some feedback. I started this project last year but somewhat abandoned it. This feels like something which most likely already exists, but I couldn't find anything at the time I made it. I feel like my write up on the repo is pretty good at explaining the inspiration and purpose of this package; "Let's say you have an API, and you're looking for a method by which you can increase performance of your app via doing transformations of the data directly in the API. In this scenario, you would middleman the API returned data through a Fluxduct…

    Hello HN! I'm an Android OS engineer. I've worked with AOSP and Linux kernels all my career and always wondered about lack of sophisticated tools to debug and analyze system-level logs. Always had to resort to manually skimming through large log files to find something I needed to. With the rise of LLMs and the AI-age, I felt it was a great opportunity to build something for OS engineers, which is what led to logcat.ai! We are building the industry-first observability platform for system level intelligence. Think "Datadog for operating systems" instead of applications. Currently, we support…

    It's the Easter holidays here so I decided to finish one of the pet-projects that I had on my work machine. https://github.com/bdryanovski/logchanges This small package is designed to help me generate a changelog for my other projects and keep it up to date when it comes to update and handle it. The JSON part is for the cases when I want to integrate it into Single Page Apps like for example inside https://docusaurus.io/ or https://www.gatsbyjs.org/ when I want to have a lot more control on how the data is rendered. Or even make it…

    Hello I'm Jack, I was previously a Site Reliability Engineer and i've been working on monitro.dev which makes log monitoring simple for individuals or small teams. It allows you to easily forward any logs to multiple channels such as Slack, Discord & Telegram. The events are also viewable though the admin dashboard and are easily filterable. Currently there is only an NPM package with javascript / typescript support but i have plans to expand this to other languages such as Python, Rust etc. The package has many options, one of them is forwarding any uncaught exception and as an event…

    Hey HN We’ve been building Logdash as a lightweight observability tool for side projects and prototypes. Most logging/metrics tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK...) are amazing, but feel like overkill when you're just hacking on something small. Logdash gives you: - Real-time logs and custom metrics - Zero config (no YAML, no setup) - One tiny SDK to drop in - Hosted UI with live dashboards We use Logdash to monitor Logdash — our own prod dashboard is public here: https://logdash.io/demo-dashboard Would love feedback, ideas, or questions!

    I’ve been working on Code2Docs, an open-source CLI tool that helps developers automatically generate inline documentation (docstrings + comments) for Python code using AI. It’s built to solve a common problem I’ve faced (and seen often in teams): We code by "vibe" — fast iterations, minimal docs, and then forget what the logic was months later. Code2Docs helps bridge that gap by documenting as you go — without breaking your flow. Right now it supports function-level documentation. Planned features include: - README.md generation for projects - API endpoint docs - Database schema…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share a chrome extension I built for myself called From Chaos. It's an extension that takes the content of the page and organizes it into structured data. For instance, taking all the restaurants on a "top 10" article and just returning their names. It requires an OpenAI API key that you can set in your settings, and lets you get data back as JSON, YAML, CSV, or plain text. I built it to help in my data-gathering efforts, but wanted to share in case it's useful to someone else as well! It doesn't always return perfect data, but it does save me quite a bit of time.

    Hey Hackers, I was building multiple projects lately, and integrating logging was way too much for me. Managing self hosted ELK stack, or using existing log monitoring services (running their agent was consuming hell of resources on my tiny servers). It took me a day to code my own logging server, and client for python projects (serving as python packages - pypi), named it HueLogs. Sharing with you all, please feel free to contribute if you like. I might be adding a npm package for javascript client if I get chance to code tomorrow. Few features too add: - 30 min, last day logs etc. -…
