Bunyan Socket

Bundle up all of your bunyan log messages by streaming them to one bunyan-server.

Installation

npm install -g bunyan-socket

Usage Examples

Start the server

bunyan-server

Create a logger

Make sure to install bunyan-socket via npm inside your project-
directory:

cd path/to/your/project
npm install bunyan-socket

Then, in your app.js:

var log = require('bunyan-socket')('OnePartOfMyApp')

// log is an instance of a bunyan-logger
log.info('hello!') // log-message goes to the bunyan-server

And in - for example - in boom.js:

var log = require('bunyan-socket')('AnotherPartOfMyApp')
log.info('hello!')

var sublog = log.child({component: 'SubPart'})
sublog.debug(process)

Everything you log will go now to the bunyan-server.

The messages will be buffered if the server is temporarily down.

Listen to the bunyan-server

Read the logs of all our process as a real-time-stream:

bunyan-listener

For all you humans with nice colors:

bunyan-listener | bunyan

Programmatically listen to the bunyan-server

var listener = require('bunyan-socket/listener')(port, host)

listener
  .on('connection', function(conn) {
    log.info('connection', conn.remoteAddress, conn.remotePort, conn.address())
  })
  .on('close', function(conn) {
    log.info('close')
  })
  .on('data', function(d) {
    process.stdout.write(d.toString())
  })
