winston-transport-datadog

winston transport for Datadog logging.

There are couple of winston transports for datadog. This one does buffering, error handling and uses tls-tcp instead of https.

Install

npm install @marfle/winston-transport-datadog

Usage

Use:

const { createLogger } = require('winston');
const { DatadogTransport } = require('@marfle/winston-transport-datadog');

logger = createLogger({
  transports: [
    new DatadogTransport({
      apiKey: '<YOUR API KEY',
      // optional metadata which will be merged with log message
      metadata: {
        environment: process.env.NODE_ENV,
        service: 'myService'
      }
    })
  ]
});

Options

Name	Default	Description
apiKey	undefined	api key from datadog
host	'intake.logs.datadoghq.com'	intake hostname
port	10516	intake port
bufferSize	10000	how many messages to buffer before discarding
reconnectInterval	10000
socketOptions	{ timeout: 10000 }	options passed to tls.socket
