How to use custom time function in zap logger library

In this article, php editor Xinyi will introduce how to use custom time functions in the zap recorder library. The zap logger library is a powerful tool for analyzing and testing the security of web applications. It can simulate various attacks and detect potential vulnerabilities. When using zap, we often need to simulate different time scenarios to test the application's behavior under different time conditions. This article will show you how to use custom time functions to simulate different time scenarios to more fully test your application. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced penetration tester, this article will provide you with helpful guidance and tips. let's start!

Question content

I'm using the Zap logger library in Go and I'm trying to implement a custom timestamp generation method for logging. Specifically, I want to use my own time function instead of relying on the system time .

Although I looked through the documentation, I couldn't find a solution to effectively implement a custom time function.

Essentially, I'm aiming for functionality similar to this pseudocode:

// Sudo code

var tmFn func()time.Time
// more code

logger.SetTimeFunc(tmFn)

I would be grateful if you could provide insight or guidance on how to implement this customization in the Zap logger library.

Solution

You can use the WithClock option to define your own clock to provide the time functionality you want. For example. Use a constant clock (always returns a date like 2077-01-23T10:15:13Z). This example is based on zapp's clock_test.go library.

package main

import (
    "time"

    "go.uber.org/zap"
    "go.uber.org/zap/zapcore"
)

type constantClock time.Time

func (c constantClock) Now() time.Time { return time.Time(c) }
func (c constantClock) NewTicker(d time.Duration) *time.Ticker {
    return &time.Ticker{}
}

func main() {
    date := time.Date(2077, 1, 23, 10, 15, 13, 441, time.UTC) // clock will always return that date
    clock := constantClock(date)

    config := zap.NewProductionConfig()
    // this is just for sugar, to display a readable date instead of an epoch time
    config.EncoderConfig.EncodeTime = zapcore.TimeEncoderOfLayout(time.RFC3339)

    logger, _ := config.Build()
    logger = logger.WithOptions(zap.WithClock(clock))
    defer logger.Sync()

    logger.Info("Hello")
}

You can use this code here: https://www.php.cn/link/37c691988cb0a6f0fdc8cc41f6ede4f1 , this will print:

From there, you can customize the clock (Now() and NewTicker() methods) as needed to provide the time you desire.
