node-lite-logger

A lite logger inspired by https://strongloop.com/strongblog/automatic-node-js-clustering-with-log-aggregation/ which pushes data out as JSON instead of raw text, a la bunyan.

To be used in conjunction with a proper log aggregator, such as LogEntries or Fluent.

The more you log, the less time you spend fighting fires and the more time you spend developing real features.

To use:

logger = require('lite-logger');
logger.info({foo: 'bar'}, 'ASDF');

Outputs:

{loglevel: 'INFO', msg: 'ASDF', foo: 'bar'}

In general:

logger.info(contextObject, message)

• contextObject should be a key-value hash
• message should be a string
• both arguments are required

Configuration:

Don't want to read JSON during development? Environment variables to the rescue!

NODE_LITE_LOGGER_PLAINTEXT=true node app.js

Now, you'll get:

[INFO] ASDF, {
    foo: bar
}
