const { WistleLogger } = require('@wistle/logger');

const logger = new WistleLogger({
    titleMessageLength: 255,        // Optional: Max length for title/message
    paramsMessageLength: 4500,      // Optional: Max length for params
    label: 'app',                   // Optional: Label for your application
    writeToConsole: true,           // Optional: Log to console

    writeToFile: true,              // Optional: Write logs to file
    elkOptions: {
        node: 'http://localhost:9200',  // Elasticsearch node URL
        index: 'logs',                  // Elasticsearch index
        auth: {
            username: 'elastic',
            password: 'password'
        }
        flushInterval: 1200,            // Optional: Interval to flush logs default is 1200 ms
        maxBufferLimit: 500            // Optional: Max logs to buffer default 500
    },
    fileOptions: {
        fileName: 'app.log',            // Optional: Log file name
        flags: 'a'                      // Optional: File write flags (append mode)
    }
});

// Example usage
// operation_id, message, ...params 
logger.info('123', 'User logged in');
logger.verbose('123', 'Logged in user details', { userId: 'user123', ipAddress: '192.168.0.1' }, { test: 'test'});

Output

2024-06-15T12:00:00.000Z | 123 | app | info | User logged in | [{}]

• debug, info, error, verbose: Log messages with different severity levels.
• safeDebug, safeInfo, safeError, safeVerbose: Safe logging methods for sanitizing sensitive data.

Flush Logs

// Flush all logs (to Elasticsearch and log file). This is useful for ELK and File Stream for graceful shutdowns.
process.on('SIGINT', () => {
  console.log('Received SIGINT signal');
  // Perform cleanup tasks before exiting
  logger.flushAll();
  process.exit(0); // 0 indicates a successful exit
});

Configuration Options

• titleMessageLength: Max length for title/message.
• paramsMessageLength: Max length for params.
• label: Application label.
• writeToConsole: Enable logging to console.
• writeToElk: Send logs to Elasticsearch.
• writeToFile: Write logs to file.
• elkOptions: Elasticsearch configuration options.
