Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Sets up logging to a TaggedLogger for important http.Server events

Readme

winston-tagged-http-logger

Pipes events from a node HTTP server (vanilla OR express!) to a tagged-logger for winston.

Install me!

npm install winston-tagged-http-logger

Example

This will create a new winston logger and a new tagged-logger, and use a tagged-console-target to write the output to the console in all the colours of the rainbow.

var server = require('http').createServer();

// create our winston logger
var winston = require('winston');
var winstonLogger = new winston.Logger();

// create a transport so our logs have somewhere to go
var TaggedConsoleTarget = require('tagged-console-target');
winston.add(new TaggedConsoleTarget());

// make a new tagged logger to generate tagged log messages
var TaggedLogger = require('tagged-logger');
var logger = new TaggedLogger(winstonLogger, ['my amazing server']);

// Use this module to pipe the events from an http server to the logger
require('winston-tagged-http-logger')(server, log);

// All done! Events from `server` are now being piped to our `logger`!

What events are logged?

  • When the server starts running, showing the host and port that the server started on.
  • When a request is responded to, the client, path, status code, method and response time are logged.

What is the format of the logs?

Why, take a look! Here's an example of a log:

19:35:53.255 2013-06-26 Wednesday
19:35:53.589 [kvass, http] Listening on 0.0.0.0:9506
19:36:06.359 [kvass, http, 127.0.0.1:50230] GET /user/active 200 12ms

Broken down, these are the parts of a request log:

  • 19:36:06.359 the time on the server at which the request was received
  • [kvass, http, tags that have been assigned to this logger
  • 127.0.0.1:50230] a tag representing the origin of the request
  • GET the request method
  • /user/active the requested path
  • 200 the response status code
  • 12ms the time it took to respond to the request
