Setting up Log Forwarding with New Relic + Gin (HTTP Server) + Zerolog Logger

go-new-relic-gin-zerolog

This demo uses

• New Relic, an o11y platform
• gin, an HTTP web framework
• zerolog, a structured logger

For this demo, I signed up for a free plan of New Relic.

Getting started

Start server

Start the server using your New Relic browser license key.

env \
  ENV=local \
  SERVICE_NAME=foobar \
  NEW_RELIC_KEY=YOUR-KEY \
  go run main.go

Hit endpoint

curl localhost:8081/health

Check New Relic UI

Visit New Relic One and navigate to APM & services, and search for your Trace group. When you drill down into a trace, you should be able to see all the logs belonging to that trace. This is known as logs in context.
