import (
        "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
        "github.com/Showmax/sockrus"
)

func main() {
        log := logrus.New()
        hook, err := sockrus.NewHook("unixpacket", "/tmp/log.sock")
        if err != nil {
                log.Fatal(err)
        }
        log.Hooks.Add(hook)
        ctx := log.WithFields(logrus.Fields{
          "method": "main",
        })
        ...
        ctx.Info("Hello World!")
}

  "level": "info",
  "message": "Hello World!",
  "method": "main"
}
