Introduction

LTSV format logger for (connect|express).

This is just a wrapper of connect.middleware.logger.

Usage

var express = require("express"),
    ltsvlogger = require('connect-ltsv-logger');

// define output WriteStream
var out = fs.createWriteStream("ltsv-access.log",{flags: 'a+'}),

// define tokens
var ltsv = [];
ltsv.push("host");
ltsv.push("ident");
ltsv.push("user");
ltsv.push("time");
ltsv.push("req");
ltsv.push("status");
ltsv.push("size");
ltsv.push("referer");
ltsv.push("ua");

var app = express();
app.configure(function(){
	// app.set(/*snip*/)
	// ...

	app.use(ltsvlogger({format:ltsv,stream:out}));

	// app.use(/*snip*/)
	// ...
});

tail -f ltsv-access.log
host:127.0.0.1<TAB>ident:-<TAB>user:-<TAB>time:[13/Feb/2013:19:15:44 +09:00]<TAB>req:GET /stylesheets/style.css HTTP/1.1<TAB>status:200<TAB>size:110<TAB>referer:http://localhost:3001/<TAB>ua:Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_5) AppleWebKit/537.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/24.0.1312.57 Safari/537.17
