Grayconsole

Grayconsole is a browser and nodejs compatible library which intercepts calls to console.<level> and sends them to Graylog using GELF over HTTP(S).

Features

• details of the platform (retrieved using platform.js) are automatically added to each message sent to Graylog
• only messages of the specified level or above are sent to Graylog
• Errors are automatically serialized along with their message and stack trace

Usage

Call the configure function in the grayconsole package during the startup phase of your application/page to start logging to Graylog. The example below will log all calls of level info or above (i.e. console.info(...), console.warn(...) and console.error(...)) to Graylog. The static fields version and is_cordova will be attached to every call with the given values.

import { configure as configureGrayconsole } from "grayconsole";

configureGrayconsole({
  endpoint: "https://mygraylogserver:12201/gelf",
  host: "myproductname",
  level: "info",
  staticProperties: {
    version: "1.5",
    is_cordova: true
  }
});

If the first argument of the call to console.<level> is a string then this is the message logged to Graylog. All following arguments are objects which are combined into a single object and sent to Graylog as fields.

console.info("I am a message");
console.info("User logged in", { name: "Dave" });
console.info("Can't find file", { filename: "missing.json" }, someRelevantObject, someOtherRelevantObject)
