node-lite-logger
A lite logger inspired by https://strongloop.com/strongblog/automatic-node-js-clustering-with-log-aggregation/ which pushes data out as JSON instead of raw text, a la bunyan.
To be used in conjunction with a proper log aggregator, such as LogEntries or Fluent.
The more you log, the less time you spend fighting fires and the more time you spend developing real features.
To use:
logger = require('lite-logger');
logger.info({foo: 'bar'}, 'ASDF');
Outputs:
{loglevel: 'INFO', msg: 'ASDF', foo: 'bar'}
In general:
logger.info(contextObject, message)
- contextObject should be a key-value hash
- message should be a string
- both arguments are required
Configuration:
Don't want to read JSON during development? Environment variables to the rescue!
NODE_LITE_LOGGER_PLAINTEXT=true node app.js
Now, you'll get:
[INFO] ASDF, {
foo: bar
}
