bunyan-config

This module converts JSON configuration into a proper bunyan configuration object.

It is useful when you want/need to restrict your configuration to a JSON object, where you cannot reference process.stdout or instantiate plugins.

Installation

npm install bunyan-config --save

Usage

var jsonConfig = {
    name: 'myLogger',
    streams: [{
        stream: 'stdout' // shorthand config
    }, {
        stream: { name: 'stderr' } // full version
    }, {
        type: 'raw',
        stream: { // full version with params
            name: 'bunyan-logstash',
            // The value of `streamParams` is stream-specific.
            params: {
                host: 'localhost',
                port: 5005
            }
        }
    }, {
        type: 'raw',
        stream: {
            name: 'bunyan-redis',
            params: {
                host: 'localhost',
                port: 6379
            }
        }
    },
    
    serializers: {
        req: 'bunyan:stdSerializers.req',
        fromNodeModules: 'someNodeModule',
        fromNodeModulesWithProps: 'someNodeModule:a.b.c',
        custom: './lib/customSerializers:custom',
        another: './lib/anotherSerializer',
        absolutePath: '/path/to/serializer:xyz'
    }
    // or
    serializers: 'module:property.parent.child' // relative and absolute module references are also supported
]};

var bunyanConfig = require('bunyan-config')(jsonConfig);

var logger = require('bunyan').createLogger(bunyanConfig);
