Yodelay
Yodelay was made to combine the ability of logging and shipping uncaught exceptions and error metrics off via api request in a simple json structure. I am using this for gathering and alerting errors and uncaught errors in our applications and shipping them off to a microservice that builds out metrics for prometheus to scrape.
Out of the box it is set to format your logs with either simple
or json
formatting. You can also select what log level you would like to use. The simple
format adds prettyness to your logs while both simple
and json
adds a couple more fields that are helpful for log aggregators like kibana or loggly.
Install
npm install yodelay --save
Example
import Yodelay from "yodelay";
const logger = new Yodelay({
metricsEndpoint: 'https://example.example.com/metrics',
appName: "prod-example-api",
level: process.env.LOG_LEVEL,
format: process.env.LOG_FORMAT
});
logger.info('This is an info log...');
logger.error('This is an info log...');
logger.debug('This is an info log...');

Metrics Message Format
{
metricAppName: 'test-app',
errorType: 'uncaught_exception',
message: 'Something bad happened on line...'
}
Debug Context
It is important to note that debug context is use to filter out logs you arent interested in while debugging. It could be a certain if statement or a whole application, that part is totally up to you. You can still pass in context even if you dont havea debugContext enabled. This helps when looking at logs to know where the log came from easier.
