pino applicationinsights transport

Forward pino logger to Application Insights.

Ships with fake applicationinsights helper test class.

Usage

import { pino } from 'pino';
import compose from '@0dep/pino-applicationinsights';

const transport = compose({
  track(chunk) {
    const { time, severity, msg: message, properties, exception } = chunk;
    this.trackTrace({ time, severity, message, properties });
    if (exception) this.trackException({ time, exception, severity });
  },
  connectionString,
  config: { maxBatchSize: 1 },
});

const logger = pino({ level: 'trace' }, transport);

or as multi transport:

import { pino } from 'pino';

const transport = pino.transport({
  targets: {
    level: 'info',
    target: '@0dep/pino-applicationinsights',
    options: {
      connectionString: process.env.APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING,
      config: {
        disableStatsbeat: true,
      },
    },
  },
});

const logger = pino(transport);

API

compose(opts[, TelemetryTransformation]) => Stream

Build transport stream function.

• opts:
  • connectionString: Application Insights connection string or instrumentation key
  • track(chunk): optional track function called with Telemetry client context, defaults to tracking trace and exception
    • chunk: Telemetry:ish object
  • config: optional Application Insights Telemetry client config
  • destination: optional destination stream, makes compose ignore the above options
  • ignoreKeys: optional pino ignore keys, used to filter telemetry properties, defaults to ['hostname', 'pid', 'level', 'time', 'msg']
• TelemetryTransformation: optional transformation stream extending TelemetryTransformation

class TelemetryTransformation(options[, config])

Telemetry transformation stream. Transforms pino log record to Telemetry:ish object.

• constructor(options[, config])
  • options: transform stream options, { objectMode: true } is always set
  • config: optional config object
    • ignoreKeys: optional pino ignore keys as string array
• _transform(chunk, encoding, callback)
• convertToTelemetry(chunk): convert pino log record string or object to telemetry:ish object
• convertLevel(level): map pino log level number to Contracts.SeverityLevel
• extractProperties(line, ignoreKeys): extract properties from log line
  • line: log line record object
  • ignoreKeys: configured ignore keys
• properties:
  • ignoreKeys: configured ignore keys, defaults to ['hostname', 'pid', 'level', 'time', 'msg']

Telemetrish object

• severity: pino log level mapped to application insights severeity level, i.e. Contracts.SeverityLevel
• msg: log message string
• properties: telemetry properties object, filtered through ignore keys
• exception?: logged Error if any
• [k: string]: any other properties that facilitate telemetry logging

class FakeApplicationInsights(setupString)

Intercept calls to application insights.

• constructor(setupString);
  • setupString: Fake application insights connection string
• expectMessageData(): Expect tracked message, returns Promise<FakeCollectData>
• expectEventData(): Expect tracked event, returns Promise<FakeCollectData>
• expectExceptionData(): Expect tracked exception, returns Promise<FakeCollectData>
• expectEventType(telemetryType: string): Expect tracked telemetry type, returns Promise<FakeCollectData>
  • telemetryType: Telemetry type string
• expect(count = 1): Expect tracked telemetrys, returns promise with list of FakeCollectData
  • count: wait for at least tracked telemetrys before returning, default is 1
• reset(): Reset expected faked Application Insights calls, calls nock.cleanAll
• properties:
  • client: TelemetryClient, used to get endpoint URL
  • _endpointURL: endpoint URL
  • _scope: nock Scope

Example

import { randomUUID } from 'node:crypto';
import { pino } from 'pino';

import compose from '@0dep/pino-applicationinsights';
import { FakeApplicationInsights } from '@0dep/pino-applicationinsights/fake-applicationinsights.js';

describe('test logger', () => {
  const connectionString = `InstrumentationKey=${randomUUID()};IngestionEndpoint=https://ingestion.local;LiveEndpoint=https://livemonitor.local/`;

  let fakeAI;
  before(() => {
    fakeAI = new FakeApplicationInsights(connectionString);
  });
  after(() => {
    fakeAI.reset();
  });

  it('log event track event', async () => {
    const transport = compose({
      track(chunk) {
        const { time, properties } = chunk;
        this.trackEvent({ name: 'my event', time, properties, measurements: { logins: 1 } });
      },
      connectionString,
      config: { maxBatchSize: 1, disableStatsbeat: true },
    });
    const logger = pino(transport);

    const expectMessage = fakeAI.expectEventData();

    logger.info({ bar: 'baz' }, 'foo');

    const msg = await expectMessage;

    expect(msg.body.data.baseData).to.deep.include({
      properties: { bar: 'baz' },
      measurements: { logins: 1 },
      name: 'my event',
    });

    transport.destroy();
  });
});

FakeCollectData

An object representing the request sent to application insights.

• uri: request uri
• method: request method
• headers: request headers object
• body:
  • ver: some version number, usually 1
  • sampleRate: sample rate number, usually 100
  • tags: object with tags, tag names can be inspected under TelemetryClient.context.keys, e.g:
    • ai.application.ver: your package.json version
    • ai.device.id: ?
    • ai.cloud.roleInstance: computer hostname?
    • ai.device.osVersion: computer os
