Description
Structured logging in go can use the nrslog.Duration type to define an attribute. However, that does not get reported as a duration, but instead gets reported as the string time.Duration
Steps to Reproduce
The following code sample is based from the example in https://github.com/newrelic/go-agent/blob/master/v3/integrations/logcontext-v2/nrslog/example/main.go and adds a slog.Duration
attribute when logging.
package main
import (
"context"
"log/slog"
"os"
"time"
"github.com/newrelic/go-agent/v3/integrations/logcontext-v2/nrslog"
"github.com/newrelic/go-agent/v3/newrelic"
)
func main() {
app, err := newrelic.NewApplication(
newrelic.ConfigAppName("slog example app"),
newrelic.ConfigFromEnvironment(),
newrelic.ConfigAppLogEnabled(true),
)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
app.WaitForConnection(time.Second * 5)
log := slog.New(nrslog.TextHandler(app, os.Stdout, &slog.HandlerOptions{}))
log.Info("I am a log message")
txn := app.StartTransaction("example transaction")
ctx := newrelic.NewContext(context.Background(), txn)
log.InfoContext(ctx, "I am a log inside a transaction with custom attributes!",
slog.String("foo", "bar"),
slog.Int("answer", 42),
slog.Duration("duration", 3*time.Second),
slog.Any("some_map", map[string]interface{}{"a": 1.0, "b": 2}),
)
// pretend to do some work
time.Sleep(500 * time.Millisecond)
log.Warn("Uh oh, something important happened!")
txn.End()
log.Info("All Done!")
app.Shutdown(time.Second * 10)
}
Expected Behavior
An actual duration (as integer, or float based on the unit) would be populated instead of the string.
Your Environment
Go: 1.24
Go-Agent: v3.38.0

Additional context
Note: time.Time
has similar issues in that it comes as a string timestamp which NR would then have to parse.
