multilog

Simple wrapper for multiple loggers. Initially graylog and console.

Good news! Now support for Node 0.10

Installation

npm install --save @luispablo/multilog

Usage

First, get from anywhere you want some JSON with the properties. Such JSON must be an array with objects, with each object being a logger configuration.

For example, to get one console logger and one GrayLog logger use this:

const properties = [
	{name: 'console', level: 'DEBUG'},
	{
		name: 'gelf',
		level: 'WARN',
		config: {
			fields: {facility: "example", owner: "Tom (a cat)"}, // optional; default fields for all messages
			filter: [], // optional; filters to discard a message
			broadcast: [], // optional; listeners of a message
			adapterName: 'udp', // optional; currently supported "udp" and "tcp"; default: udp
			adapterOptions: {
				protocol: 'udp4', // udp only; optional; udp adapter: udp4, udp6; default: udp4
				family: 4, // tcp only; optional; version of IP stack; default: 4
				host: '127.0.0.1', // optional; default: udp4
				port: 12201 // optional; default: 12201
			}
		}
	}
]

Logging levels

So far, we have INFO, ERROR, WARN and DEBUG. And they work as you would expect them to. You must specify the level in each logger. In every single logger? YES, deal with it.

Then, create a MultiLog object:

const MultiLog = require("@luispablo/multilog");

...

const log = MultiLog(properties);

and you're ready to go!

log.info("This is an info message");

...
const error = {code: 5, message: "Error message"}; // This can be anything you want
log.error(error);

and that's it, for the moment.
