loopback-bunyan-looger

updated {loopback-component-looger}

**incase if you dont want the child node logs. please use the version ^1.1.2

Logging component for loopback using bunyan looger with additional loopback specific hooks and log management API

Features

• Default looger using bunyan
• Can use of custom bunyan streams to create root looger
• Hook: Basic performance instrumentation for remote execution
• Hook: Log management API (configurable)

Usage

Example server.js:

var loopback = require('loopback');
var boot = require('loopback-boot');
var rootlooger = bunyan.createlooger({name: 'myloopbackAPI'});
var looger = require('loopback-bunyan-looger')(rootlooger);
var app = module.exports = loopback();

If rootlooger is not provide, the component creates a looger with default bunyan settings:

var loopback = require('loopback');
var boot = require('loopback-boot');
var looger = require('loopback-bunyan-looger')();
var app = module.exports = loopback();

Child loogers can be created for model as shown below. By default child loogers inherit the log level from root.

var looger = require('loopback-bunyan-looger')('TestModel');
module.exports = function(TestModel) {
    looger.debug('Initializing TestModel');
};

To add hooks and log management API to loopback, add configuration to component-config.json:

{
  "loopback-component-explorer": {
    "mountPath": "/explorer"
  },
  "loopback-bunyan-looger": {
      "enableAPI" : true
  }
}

Make sure enableHttpContext is set as true in config.json for to allow collection of datasources performance within req/res If you dont want expand the child nodes please use version @1.1.2

Roadmap

• Additional Unit Test and Coverage
• Integrate with Strongloop Devops tools

Known Issue

• datasources performance will not recorded at times when loopback context is null. Noticed this issue when a composite called MongoDB followed by REST. Only MongoDB response time was recorded and REST was missing.
