nodejs-logging

Logging

• There are 8 log levels: ALL, TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL and OFF.
• A level can be set via an environment variable LOG_LEVEL, the default isinfo.
• There are 2 types of logging output which is set via an environment variable LOG_OUTPUT, the default issingle.
  1. Production - a single line output - LOG_OUTPUT=single.
  2. Development - a multi line output - LOG_OUTPUT=multi.
• By default logging is turned off when running these unit tests.

Use

yarn add @hmcts/nodejs-logging

// Require it
const logging = require('nodejs-logging');

// Set this config only once
logging.config({ 
    microservice: 'your-service-name', 
    team: 'YOURTEAM'
    environment: 'some-environemnt'
});

// Get your logger
logger = logging.getLogger('app.js');

// Get logging
  logger.info({
    message: 'Yay, logging!'
  });

Optionally you can use the built in express.js access logger.

app.use(logging.express.accessLogger());
