Lookback Logger

Circle CI

A Meteor logger that logs to Loggly or local console.log on the server (no client side support as of now).

Install

Lookback Logger is available on Atmosphere as lookback:logger:

meteor add lookback:logger

Usage

A global Logger object is automatically exported from within the package and available in your app (server side only). It has the log level methods debug, warn, error and info.

Logger.info('Some logging');
Logger.warn('Watch out!');
Logger.error('Someone screwed up ...');
Logger.debug('Herp-a-derp!');

Locally, the info, warn, debug, and error methods correspond to their corresponding methods on the console object (with the exception of debug: it uses console.log).

Each Logger method takes a message as a string, and optionally an array of tags:

Logger.info('Some logging', ['my-tag']);

This can be shown in the Loggly interface.

Additionally, a global logger factory function is exported. It is used to create a logger:

someLogger = logger(params);

logger takes an object of parameters:

myLogger = logger({
  // Local logging. Defaults to true.
  local: true,

  // Loggly options. Defaults to {}. If set, local logging will be disabled.
  loggly: {
    // Options to send to the Loggly npm module.
    logglyModuleOptions: {
      token: '<your loggly token>',
      subdomain: 'foobar',
      json: true
    },
    // Params to send to Loggly with every request.
    baseParams: {
      environment: 'development',   // Defaults to process.env.NODE_ENV
      serverName: 'My Computer'
    }
  }
});

Please refer to the documentation for the loggly npm module for documentation on the logglyModuleOptions.
