mongo-logr

Node module to log messages to a mongo database

To Install

Using node package manager

###Example npm install mongo-logr

To Use

Add the require reference to the module.

Example

var logger = require('mongo-logr');

Listeners

mongo-logr comes with two logging providers, the console logger and the mongo logger. The mongo logger uses mongoose to write your log entries to a database collection

To add a listener to the console logger

###Example logger.addListener('console');

To add a listener to the mongo logger

###Example logger.addListener('mongo');

If no listener is added mongo-logr will by default use the console logger;

Options

If you are using the mongo logger, you will need to call logger.setOptions

###Example

var options = {
    mongo: {
        connection: "<< YOUR CONNECTION STRING HERE >>",
        collectionName: "<< YOUR DESIRED COLLECTION NAME WHERE THE LOGS WILL BE STORED"
    }
};

logger.setOptions(options);

Set Log Level

You can set the minimum log level to log at with the following:

###Example logger.setLogLevel("warning");

This will only log for messages that are set to warning or higher. The levels are as follows:

###Example logger.setLogLevel("info"); > Will log: info, debug, warning and error logger.setLogLevel("debug"); > Will log: debug, warning and error logger.setLogLevel("warning"); > Will log: warning and error logger.setLogLevel("error"); > Will log: error only

To Log

Now you're all set to start logging. mongo-logr provides a number of convenience methods

###Example

logger.info("custom message", "custom object");
logger.debug("custom message", "custom object");
logger.warning("custom message", "custom object");
logger.error("custom message", "custom object", error);
