How to use it

The only required configurations are the AWS configurations.

var lawgs = require('./index');
 
lawgs.config({
    aws: {
        accessKeyId: '********', /* Optional if credentials are set in ~/.aws/credentials */
        secretAccessKey: '******', /* Optional */
        region: 'us-east-1' /* Required */
    }
});

If you are using roles, you will need the following roles:

  • logs:DescribeLogGroups
  • logs:DescribeLogStreams
  • logs:CreateLogGroup
  • logs:CreateLogStream
  • logs:PutLogEvents

Simply create your logger and you are ready to go.

var logger  = lawgs.getOrCreate('SuperbowlLogs'); /* LogGroup */
logger.log('touchdown', { team: 'Patriots', weight: 7 });

Example

See example.js for a full working example.

Running the example, you get the following output:
