Convert log File Data to Json Object in Vue client

Omkar Chavan

I have a log file as follow:

{"L":"DEBUG","T":"2021-11-01T17:37:54.167+0530","M":"Route.go:74[IN : GetLatestLogs]"}
{"L":"DEBUG","T":"2021-11-01T17:37:54.167+0530","M":"Service.go:40[IN : GetRecentServerErrorLogService]"}
{"L":"DEBUG","T":"2021-11-01T17:37:54.167+0530","M":"DAO.go:117[IN : GetRecentServerErrorLogDAO]"}
{"L":"DEBUG","T":"2021-11-01T17:37:54.168+0530","M":"DAO.go:148[OUT : GetRecentServerErrorLogDAO]"}
{"L":"DEBUG","T":"2021-11-01T17:37:54.168+0530","M":"Service.go:47[OUT : GetRecentServerErrorLogService]"}
{"L":"DEBUG","T":"2021-11-01T17:37:54.168+0530","M":"Route.go:79[OUT : GetLatestLogs]"}
{"L":"DEBUG","T":"2021-11-01T17:40:55.331+0530","M":"Route.go:74[IN : GetLatestLogs]"}

I am reading this file in the Golang echo server as follow:

file, err := os.Open(logFilePath)

stat, _ := os.Stat(logFilePath)
buf := make([]byte, stat.Size())
_, err = file.Read(buf)
serverLog := string(buf)

and return this string generated back

return c.JSON(http.StatusOK, serverLog)

this is what I get as result

"{\"L\":\"DEBUG\",\"T\":\"2021-11-01T17:37:54.167+0530\",\"M\":\"Route.go:74[IN : GetLatestLogs]\"}\n{\"L\":\"DEBUG\",\"T\":\"2021-11-01T17:37:54.167+0530\",\"M\":\"Service.go:40[IN : GetRecentServerErrorLogService]\"}\n{\"L\":\"DEBUG\",\"T\":\"2021-11-01T17:37:54.167+0530\",\"M\":\"DAO.go:117[IN : GetRecentServerErrorLogDAO]\"}\n{\"L\":\"DEBUG\",\"T\":\"2021-11-01T17:37:54.168+0530\",\"M\":\"DAO.go:148[OUT : GetRecentServerErrorLogDAO]\"}\n{\"L\":\"DEBUG\",\"T\":\"2021-11-01T17:37:54.168+0530\",\"M\":\"Service.go:47[OUT : GetRecentServerErrorLogService]\"}\n{\"L\":\"DEBUG\",\"T\":\"2021-11-01T17:37:54.168+0530\",\"M\":\"Route.go:79[OUT : GetLatestLogs]\"}\n{\"L\":\"DEBUG\",\"T\":\"2021-11-01T17:40:55.331+0530\",\"M\":\"Route.go:74[IN : GetLatestLogs]\"}{\"L\":\"DEBUG\",\"T\":\"2021-11-02T09:48:49.982+0530\",\"M\":\"controlPanelRoute.go:74[IN : GetLatestLogs]\"}\n{\"L\":\"DEBUG\",\"T\":\"2021-11-02T09:48:49.982+0530\",\"M\":\"controlPanelService.go:40[IN : GetRecentServerErrorLogService]\"}\n{\"L\":\"DEBUG\",\"T\":\"2021-11-02T09:48:49.982+0530\",\"M\":\"controlPanelDAO.go:117[IN : GetRecentServerErrorLogDAO]\"}\n"

I want to convert this received response to a JSON object.

This is my desired output:

[
    {
        "L": "DEBUG",
        "T": "2021-11-01T17:37:54.167+0530",
        "M": "Route.go:74[IN : GetLatestLogs]"
    },
    {
        "L": "DEBUG",
        "T": "2021-11-01T17:37:54.167+0530",
        "M": "Service.go:40[IN : GetRecentServerErrorLogService]"
    },
    {
        "L": "DEBUG",
        "T": "2021-11-01T17:37:54.167+0530",
        "M": "DAO.go:117[IN : GetRecentServerErrorLogDAO]"
    },
    {
        "L": "DEBUG",
        "T": "2021-11-01T17:37:54.168+0530",
        "M": "DAO.go:148[OUT : GetRecentServerErrorLogDAO]"
    },
    {
        "L": "DEBUG",
        "T": "2021-11-01T17:37:54.168+0530",
        "M": "Service.go:47[OUT : GetRecentServerErrorLogService]"
    },
    {
        "L": "DEBUG",
        "T": "2021-11-01T17:37:54.168+0530",
        "M": "Route.go:79[OUT : GetLatestLogs]"
    },
    {
        "L": "DEBUG",
        "T": "2021-11-01T17:40:55.331+0530",
        "M": "Route.go:74[IN : GetLatestLogs]"
    }
]

From your code it seems you depend on Gin to do the conversion for you:

return c.JSON(http.StatusOK, serverLog)

You can actually handle it yourself, but it may require Unmarshalling line by line, since the log text file isn't a valid JSON array. Then I marshall the valid structure back into JSON. In the example below I used bufio to read the text file by line, and unmarshall to a Log struct:

package main

import (
    "os"
    "fmt"
    "encoding/json"
    "bufio"
)

type Log struct {
    L   string
    T   string
    M   string
}

func main() {
    f, err := os.Open("log.txt")
    defer f.Close()

    var logs []Log
    var log Log

    input := bufio.NewScanner(f)

    for input.Scan() {
        textByte := []byte(input.Text())
        err = json.Unmarshal(textByte, &log)
        if err != nil {
            fmt.Printf("Problems with unmarshalling: %v\n", err)
            os.Exit(1)
        }
        logs = append(logs, log)
    }

    data, err := json.MarshalIndent(logs, "", "    ")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("Error in marshalling: %v\n", err)
        os.Exit(1)
    }

    fmt.Printf("%s\n", data)
}

Or you can return the string from a function:

return fmt.Sprintf("%s\n", data)

Here's the output:

[
    {
        "L": "DEBUG",
        "T": "2021-11-01T17:37:54.167+0530",
        "M": "Route.go:74[IN : GetLatestLogs]"
    },
    {
        "L": "DEBUG",
        "T": "2021-11-01T17:37:54.167+0530",
        "M": "Service.go:40[IN : GetRecentServerErrorLogService]"
    },
    {
        "L": "DEBUG",
        "T": "2021-11-01T17:37:54.167+0530",
        "M": "DAO.go:117[IN : GetRecentServerErrorLogDAO]"
    },
    {
        "L": "DEBUG",
        "T": "2021-11-01T17:37:54.168+0530",
        "M": "DAO.go:148[OUT : GetRecentServerErrorLogDAO]"
    },
    {
        "L": "DEBUG",
        "T": "2021-11-01T17:37:54.168+0530",
        "M": "Service.go:47[OUT : GetRecentServerErrorLogService]"
    },
    {
        "L": "DEBUG",
        "T": "2021-11-01T17:37:54.168+0530",
        "M": "Route.go:79[OUT : GetLatestLogs]"
    },
    {
        "L": "DEBUG",
        "T": "2021-11-01T17:40:55.331+0530",
        "M": "Route.go:74[IN : GetLatestLogs]"
    }
