Node.js Logging Support for Cloud Foundry

Features

  • Network logging (http requests) for CloudFoundry
  • Custom message logging
  • Logging levels
  • Can be bound to Winston as transport

Installation

Add the following dependency to your package.json.

"dependencies": {
    "cf-nodejs-logging-support": "git+https://github.com/SAP/cf-nodejs-logging-support"
}

Usage

Minimal Example

var express = require('express');
var log = require('cf-nodejs-logging-support');
var app = express();

// Set the minimum logging level (Levels: error, warn, info, verbose, debug, silly)
log.setLoggingLevel("info");

// Bind to express app
app.use(log.logNetwork);

app.get('/', function (req, res) {
    // Context bound custom message
    req.logMessage("info", "Hello World will be send");
    
    res.send('Hello World');
});
app.listen(3000);

// Formatted log message free of request context
log.logMessage("info", "Server is listening on port %d", 3000);

Custom Messages

Use the logMessage(...) function to log custom messages with a given logging level. It is also possible to use the standard format placeholders equivalent to the util.format method.

Custom messages may be called on two objects:

  • If you want to keep track of a request with custom messages, you want to call req.logMessage(...) so the correct correlation_id and request_id will be added to this log.
  • If you want to write request independent custom messages, you want to call log.logMessage(...) so no further context tracking will be added.

Simple message

logMessage("info", "Hello World"); 
// ... "msg":"Hello World" ...

With addtional numeric value

logMessage("info", "Listening on port %d", 5000); 
// ... "msg":"Listening on port 5000" ...

With additional string values

logMessage("info", "This %s a %s", "is", "test"); 
// ... "msg":"This is a test" ...

With custom fields added to custom_fields field. Keep in mind, that the last argument is handled as custom fields object, if it is an object.

logMessage("info", "Test data %j", {"field" :"value"}); 
// ... "msg":"Test data %j" 
// ... "custom_fields": {"field": "value"} ...

With json object forced to be embedded in to the message (nothing will be added to custom_fields).

logMessage("info", "Test data %j", {"field" :"value"}, {}); 
// ... "msg":"Test data {\"field\": \"value\"}" ...

Winston Transport

This logging tool can be used in conjunction with Winston. Example:

var express = require('express');
var log = require('cf-nodejs-logging-support');
var winston = require('winston');

var app = express();

var logger = new(winston.Logger)({
    // Bind transport to winston
    transports: [log.winstonTransport]
});

app.get('/', function (req, res) {
    res.send('Hello World');
});

app.listen(3000);

// Messages will now be logged exactly as demonstrated by the Custom Messages paragraph
logger.log("info", "Server is listening on port %d", 3000);
