Socket Logger

A central log target implemented in unix sockets that consolidates multiple service container logs on a single machine.

Overview

SocketLogger provides a log target that accepts domain specific log statements and writes them to a centralized destination. The log server creates a listener socket that reads log statements from a logger client. As a client, or log statement publisher, there is a LogManager that acts as a log factory to create logs by category (e.g., class name). Each log may have individual log levels that include debug, info, warn, error, and fatal.

Installation

npm install socket-logger --save

Use

Creating a Target Server

var SocketLogger = require('socket-logger');

var opts = {
	socketFile:'./logs/socket-logger.sock'
};

var logger = new SocketLogger( opts );

logger.start();

Creating a Client

var SocketLogger = require('socket-logger');

var opts = {
	socketFile:'./logs/socket-logger.sock'
};

var logger = new SocketLogger( opts );

var logManager = logger.createLogManager('MyApplicationName');

var log = logManager.createLogger( 'MyClassName', 'info' );
