@Dragomir-Ivanov Sure, here is a gist https://gist.github.com/asdine/f821abe6189a04250ae61b77a3048bd9

Hope that helps

Thanks a ton, mate :)

For now, i'm using an io.Pipe and passing an io.MultiWriter(os.Stderr, pw) to zerolog, and using a json.Decoder so i can extract the json from the output and use the fields i need.
It works fine (probably not the fastest way though) but i'm wondering if there is a simpler way.

zerolog doesn’t store the error in an intermediary form; errors are serialized on the fly for best performance. The only way to access the fields in the hooks is to deserialize. Check the journald writer for an example.

Yep, that's pretty much what i did. Thank you 👍

@asdine Can you post here an example of your implementation? I need exactly the same thing, and it is not immediately obvious how to do it. Thanks a lot!
