node-lumberjack

A very simple logging library for node.js

Features

• Supports the %s format string - use it for every argument. If the parameter is not a string, it is converted to one using String(object)
• Prints:
  • Timestamp
  • Log Statement Severity
  • Module Name
  • Constructor name
  • Function name
  • Line number

Example usage

var path     = require('path');
var filename = path.basename(path.normalize(__filename))
var log      = require('node-lumberjack').getLogger(filename, 'fatal');

log.info("Line 1");
log.warn("Line %s", 2);

See the file test.js for a complete example on how to use this library.

node-lumberjack prints the module name, constructor name, function name and the line number on which the logging function was called. Here is an example:
