Hmm. Okay. Then maybe you can help me understand how to handle something simple like getting an external package to use my handler vs. its hardcoded one? Below is single file that *simulates* the use-case of calling an external package with private loggers. As the developer of main() I would like to control the output handler for all loggers. Maybe I am just missing something obvious for how to accomplish this? func main() { myLogger := slog.New(slog.NewJSONHandler(os.Stdout,nil)) slog.SetDefault(myLogger) slog.Default().Info("Yay my handler!") // Calling these functions simulates calling external package w/loggers otherFunction() thirdFunction() } var otherLogger = slog.New(slog.NewTextHandler(os.Stdout,nil)) func otherFunction() { otherLogger.Info("Not my handler. :-(") } func thirdFunction() { logger := slog.New(slog.NewTextHandler(os.Stdout,nil)) logger.Info("Also not my handler. :-(") } Here it is in Go play: https://go.dev/play/p/Sqlny1oyRlS?v= -Mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
