Pino New Relic

This is a legacy Pino Transport to ship logs to New Relic.

Use with an Applicaiton using Pino Logger

Let's say you have a cool web server/application that uses Pino Logger. Just add pino-new-relic to your project using your favorite package manager. Here's how you do it with yarn:

$ yarn add pino-new-relic

Now just pipe your application's output to pino-new-relic. This can be done by updating your start script in your package.json file:

...
 "start": "node myapp.js | pino-new-relic [options]",
... 

Options and Configuration

Here are the flags that can be passed to pino-new-relic. They can also be configured via envars, also described below. Args will override envars.

| flag | envar | description | default | |---|---|---|---| | -d, --dryrun | PN_DRYRUN | Do not send to New Relic, but write to stdout. | false | | -a, --api-key | PN_API_KEY | New Relic license key (required if dryrun is false). | '' | | -i, --interval-ms | PN_INTERVAL_MS | Interval to send accumulated log lines. | 1000 | | -m, --max-lines | PN_MAX_LINES | Maximum number of lines to send to New Relic. Triggers a send. | 100 | | -e, --eu | PN_EU | Use New Relic EU endpoint. | false | | -o, --echo-on | PN_ECHO_ON | Turns on echoing log stream as it would be sent to New Relic. Otherwise, nothing it outputed. | false | | -z, --gzip | PN_GZIP | Compress log lines before sending to New Relic. | false |

No configuration is required, but if no New Relic License Key is included and dryrun is not set to true then the logger will error.
