If you use logrus you should better use hooks which is recommanded by documentation.

See : https://github.com/rifflock/lfshook for examples.

Using multiwriter is not optimal, because you can't have a different formatting for stdout and file, what you generally want to (colors for stdout and different timestamp for file for example).

You can try writing to multiple targets:

mylog.SetOutput(io.MultiWriter(file, os.Stdout))
