es-logger

node-es-logger v0.3.0

This module creates a bunyan logger instance with an output stream bound to elasticsearch instance with logstash compatible JSON format.

Options

• name (required): Bunyan log name
• host: Elasticsearch host. Defaults to localhost:9200
• type: String or function, Elasticsearch type for log entry to be stored under
• client: Elasticsearch client. See elasticsearch-js for more details. Useful when custom client options are needed, like setting the Elasticsearch client log level. When used, host is ignored
• indexPattern: Pattern used to generate index name. See momentjs for more details. Defaults to [logstash-]YYYY.MM.DD
• index: String or function, Elasticsearch index to store log entry under. When used, indexPattern is ignored
• serializers: Array of objects, bunyan serializers. See node-bunyan for more details. Defaults to standard serializers
• quiet: Boolean, whether to add the stdout stream to the logger

Minimal Example

var logger = require('es-logger').create({
 
    name: 'myapp'
 
});
 
logger.info({value: 123}, 'message');

This prints a JSON and also send it to elasticsearch instance at localhost:9200.

Example with type from function

var logger = require('es-logger').create({
 
    name: 'myapp',
    host: 'elasticsearch:9200',
    type: function (entry) {
        return entry['type'];
    }
});
 
logger.info({type: "request", method: "GET"});

Use with bonsai.io.

var logger = require('es-logger').create({
 
    name: 'myapp',
    host: 'username:[e-mail]'
 
});
 
logger.info({value: 123}, 'message');

This prints a JSON and also send it to bonsai's elasticsearch instance at myapp-name-123456789.us-west-2.bonsai.io.
