debug-to-json

Convert debug logs to JSON.

Installation

npm install debug-to-json

Usage

$ node ./app.js | dtj 
{"time":"2014-05-18T23:47:06.545Z","hostname":"tweedy","pid":27374,"level":"debug","name":"mymodule","message":"Starting mymodule#derp()"}

Why?

debug is a great module, but isn't particularly tied to any logging. So in order to make debug output more parseable we turn it into JSON first, which in turn can be streamed to your logging location of choice. Unix all the way down.
