send-logentries

Send logs to logentries with a name instead of token and expose a basic functions to use with your logs.

Installation

 npm install send-logentries --save

Usage

The basic use to add to your application:

var sl = require('send-logentries'),
    log = sl.init('app-test', sl.setSettings('path/to/file.json');

The log variable should have the same as logentries module when you put the token.

When you run your application, you need to create a json file with an object with tuples of name/token:

{
    "default":
    {
        "token": "<token_value>"
    },
    "name":
    {
        "token": "<token_value>"
    }
}

And set the path of that file to the init function.

If you like, you can use other basic functions to use in your code.

With express:

var express = require('express');
 
var app = express();
 
app.use(responseTime());

responseTime() function should use before other routes or put in the position that you desire to measure. This function send logs automatically to logentries with the format:

{
    route: req.route.path,
    host: req.headers.host,
    statusCode: res.statusCode,
    TotalTime: time,
    unit: 'ms'
}

If you need to treat or process other information, its possible to pass a callback function and receive the time elapsed for a concrete request:

app.use(sl.responseTime(function (time) {
    console.log('TIME: ', time);
    console.log({ Time: time, unit: 'ms' });
    log.info( { Time: time, unit: 'ms' } );
}));

You can also measure time for your async functions:

var idTimeStamp = sl.start();
 
setTimeout(function() {
    var elapsedNano = sl.end(idTimeStamp);
    var elapsedMilli = elapsedNano / 1000000; // divide by a million to get nano to milli
 
    console.log('Time(ms): ', elapsedMilli);
    log.info( { Time: elapsedMilli, unit: 'ms' } );
}, 5000);

Tests

 npm test
