# 2022 Annual Report: WG Structured Logging
## Current initiatives
1. What work did the WG do this year that should be highlighted?
For example, artifacts, reports, white papers produced this year.
- Graduated [Deprecation of klog specific flags](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/2845) to GA
- Added [Contextual logging](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/3077) as Alpha
2. What initiatives are you working on that aren't being tracked in KEPs?
- Continuously migrating kubernetes/kubernetes repository to structured, contextual logging.
In 2022 and early 2023, 82% of kube-controller-manager were converted, over 1500 log calls.
- Maintaining and enhancing klog. In 2022, [performance improved](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115277)
between up to 45% depending on the component and output format.
- Maintaining [logcheck](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/logtools/tree/main/logcheck).
In 2022, it was enhanced and moved into a new repository.
## Project health
1. What's the current roadmap until completion of the working group?
- In 2023, we need to decide if and how to integrate with
[slog](https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/exp/slog) before graduating
contextual logging to Beta.
- In the meantime, conversion of existing code continue.
2. Does the group have contributors from multiple companies/affiliations?
- Yes, current members are from 1 ZTE, 1 AppDynamics, 1 Google, 3 VMware, 1 Intel and 2 unaffiliated.
3. Are there ways end users/companies can contribute that they currently are not?
If one of those ways is more full time support, what would they work on and why?
- End users can easily contribute by helping with [structured, contextual logging migration](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/sig-instrumentation/migration-to-structured-logging.md)
