Add internal logging system

jasondellaluce commented 3 years ago

Motivation Currently, the SDK does not have an embedded logging system. This could be useful for debugging plugins during the development phase and in many other use cases. Currently this is attained manually in each plugin (see an example).

Feature Add some standard Go logging system in the SDK, such as https://pkg.go.dev/log. Plugins must be able to enable/disable and configure the logger programmatically.

The logging system could be bundled in the base level sdk package, but we can also consider creating an single-reposibility log package, just like we have ptr and cgo. Then, each internal part of the SDK should rely on that to log information with different severity level. For instance, each prebuilt C symbol should log meaningful information, and constructs such as EventWriters can potentially log something too.

Alternatives Leave things as they are, meaning that user each plugin should implement their logging measures. I don't like this option, especially because it makes not possible for the SDK to expose some of its internal process, which can be meaningful for debugging purposes.

@jasondellaluce I am also interested in this issue! I like to work on this if it is available

jasondellaluce commented 7 months ago

Yeah definitely, let me assign you to this one. Note that the latest plugin API provides logging primitives -- take a look at the work we did for the SDK C++: https://github.com/falcosecurity/plugin-sdk-cpp/pull/35
