Log Sink

Build Status Dependency Status

A service for streaming, storage and query of log data.

This is the client-side implementation for both Nodejs and the browser. For the server-side implementation and server public API, see log-sink-server.

Install

npm install log-sink --save

Usage

var sink = require('log-sink'),
    fs = require('fs')
 
// Connect to log sink server using a secure connection
sink.connect('my-user', 'my-password', {
    host: 'localhost',
    port: 8018,
    secure: true,
    // If the server is using a self-signed certificate,
    // include it here
    ca: fs.readFileSync('keys/self-signed-cert.pem')
})
// In the browser, use:
sink.connect('my-user', 'my-password', 'wss://localhost:8019')
 
// Write
// sink.{debug,info,warn,error,fatal}(name, [message], [extra])
// If the connection is not ready yet, it will be buffered and
// executed when it gets ready
sink.info('readme', 'My first log', ['custom data', 17])
sink.error('readme', new Error('We had a problem'))
 
// Or avoid typing the required name every time
var logger = sink.bindName('readme')
logger.debug('Got here!')
 
// Streaming
sink.stream(function (err, stream) {
    if (err) throw err
    // stream is a ReadableStream in object mode
    stream.on('data', function (log) {
        console.log(log)
    })
    // call stream.stop() when you are done
})
 
// Querying
sink.query({
    level: {
        min: sink.LEVEL.WARN
    }
}, function (err, logs) {
    if (err) throw err
    console.log(logs)
})

The only difference between the use in Nodejs and browsers is the third connect parameter. In Nodejs, it's an object; for browser it's the WS url.

Browsers will connect using WebSocket and Nodejs will use TCP directly. Note that the ports are NOT the same.

Multiple connections

var sink = require('log-sink'),
    conn = new sink.Connection,
    conn2 = new sink.Connection
 
conn.connect('user', 'pass', options)
conn2.connect('user2', 'pass2', options2)
