Documentation

Quick Start

var MongoLogger = require('mongo-logger');

The MongoLogger constructor can take a valid monk collection, for instance:

monk = require('monk');
db = monk('http://url.here/');
 
var log = new MongoLogger(db, 'logs');

Or it can simply take a URI to connect to, for instance:

var log = new MongoLogger('http://url.here/', 'logs');

Now you can log to mongo!

log.debug('Some stuff here');
 
log.error('SOMETHING HAS GONE HORRIBLY WRONG!');

Advanced

The MongoLogger object has a level property that can be changed to control which logs are saved to mongo. By default this is set to all. The MongoLogger class constructor can take a third parameter that changes the default logging level upon instantiation.

var MongoLogger = require('mongo-logger');
var log = new MongoLogger('localhost', 'logs', 'info')

In this case these logs will be saved to mongo:

log.info('Some stuff here');
log.warn('Something fishy here');

But this will not:

log.debug('Some debug log');

The log level can be changed after instantiation by use of the setLevel method:

log.setLevel('error');

Now these will be saved in mongo:

log.error('SOMETHING IS WRONG!');
log.fatal('AAAAAAHHH!');

But these will not:

log.warn('Uh oh');
log.info('Something informative');
