+# Log
+
+This is the global logger for all micro based libraries which makes use of [github.com/go-log/log](https://github.com/go-log/log). 
+
+It defaults the logger to the stdlib log implementation. 
+
+## Set Logger
+
+Set the logger for micro libraries
+
+```go
+// import micro/go-log
+import "github.com/micro/go-micro/util/log"
+
+// SetLogger expects github.com/go-log/log.Logger interface
+log.SetLogger(mylogger)
+```
