An adapter for Scrib to write logs into a log file.
npm install scrib scrib-local --save
var Scrib = require("scrib"),
logger = new Scrib({
"local": {
file: "./data/log.txt",
filter: function(message) {
// Messages with a priority lower or equal 0 won't be logged
return message.priority > 0;
}
}
}, function(e) {
if(e) throw e;
logger.put("Message", { 42: true }, 3, "MSG", "Logs");
logger.put("Message2", { node: "up" }, 1, "MSG_2", "Logs");
});
Then your log file will look like (you can modify it using the format option):
[Thu, 01 Aug 2013 19:21:41 GMT] 3 MSG (Logs): Message {"42":true}
[Thu, 01 Aug 2013 19:21:41 GMT] 1 MSG_2 (Logs): Message2 {"node":"up"}
