About logs-go
A skill for developers adding PostHog log ingestion to Go applications. It covers configuring an OTLP exporter through OpenTelemetry and recommends structured logs while preserving existing logging code.
Key features
- 01Configure OpenTelemetry log export
- 02Use an OTLP exporter
- 03Structured logging guidance
- 04Set keys and endpoints with environment variables
- 05References for log search and troubleshooting
Use cases
- 01Send Go application logs to PostHog
- 02Add log export alongside an existing logging system
- 03Troubleshoot log ingestion

Key principles
- Environment variables: Always use environment variables for PostHog keys and OpenTelemetry endpoints. Never hardcode them.
- Minimal changes: Add log export alongside existing logging. Don't replace or restructure existing logging code.
- OpenTelemetry: PostHog logs use the OpenTelemetry protocol. Configure an OTLP exporter pointed at PostHog's ingest endpoint.
- Structured logging: Prefer structured log formats with key-value properties over plain text messages.
