Node.js Global Request Logger Build Status

This module configures the http and https modules to raise logging events for every outgoing http request.

Any library or module that uses the default http and https modules will be captured. The primary use case is for centrally adding logging to all outbound api calls to third-party services without needing to manipulate those modules.

The logger will capture request and response arguments as well as the body sent or received.

Example

An example log object for a call to https://www.google.com:

Request

{ protocol: 'https:',
  slashes: true,
  auth: null,
  host: 'www.google.com',
  port: null,
  hostname: 'www.google.com',
  hash: null,
  search: null,
  query: null,
  pathname: '/',
  path: '/',
  href: 'https://www.google.com/',
  method: 'GET',
  headers: { host: 'www.google.com' },
  body: '' 
}

Response

{ statusCode: 200,
  headers:
   { date: 'Sun, 17 Aug 2014 20:03:02 GMT',
     expires: '-1',

     server: 'gws',

     'x-frame-options': 'SAMEORIGIN',
     'alternate-protocol': '443:quic',
     'transfer-encoding': 'chunked' },
  trailers: {},

  url: '',
  method: null,
  body: '<!doctype html><html itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/WebPage" lang="en">...</html>' }

Usage

To enable logging events initialize the global logger:

var globalLog = require('global-request-logger');
globalLog.initialize();

This will now raise success and error events for every http or https request:

globalLog.on('success', function(request, response) {
  console.log('SUCCESS');
  console.log('Request', request);
  console.log('Response', response);
});
 
globalLog.on('error', function(request, response) {
  console.log('ERROR');
  console.log('Request', request);
  console.log('Response', response);
});

You may optionally disable logging using the end function:

globalLog.end();

Options

The initialize function accepts an options argument that can configure logging.

  • maxBodyLength - The maximum length (in bytes) to log for a request or response body.

Testing

Unit tests are provided and can be run via npm test
