PostHog logs for Go
— the description by PostHog

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

This skill provides guidance and best practices for integrating PostHog log ingestion into Go applications. It emphasizes the use of the OpenTelemetry (OTLP) protocol to send structured logs to PostHog, ensuring that system activity is captured effectively without disrupting existing logging infrastructure. The skill covers implementation principles, such as using environment variables for configuration and adopting wide-event logging patterns to improve observability and debuggability.

What it does

  • Provides instructions for setting up PostHog log ingestion in Go projects.
  • Outlines best practices for structured logging and wide-event generation.
  • Explains how to configure OTLP exporters for PostHog endpoints.
  • Offers guidance on integrating logs with other PostHog features like session replays.
  • Supports debugging workflows via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

When to use it

  • When you need to centralize logs from Go services into PostHog.
  • When you want to transition from plain text logging to structured, queryable events.
  • When you need to correlate system logs with user sessions and product analytics.
  • When you are setting up observability for production Go applications.

Advantages

  • Enables unified observability by placing logs alongside product analytics and session replays.
  • Promotes high-signal logging through structured wide-event patterns.
  • Maintains compatibility with existing logging code by supporting side-by-side export.
  • Facilitates AI-assisted debugging through MCP integration.

Usage examples

“How do I configure my Go application to send logs to PostHog using OpenTelemetry?”
The agent provides the necessary steps to set up an OTLP exporter in your Go code, pointing it to the PostHog ingest endpoint using environment variables.
“What is the best way to log payment processing in my Go backend?”
The agent suggests moving away from step-by-step logs toward a single, rich 'wide event' containing relevant metadata like order ID, duration, and user ID.

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.

Framework guidelines

No specific framework guidelines.
