bunyan-seq !Build !Publish 

A Bunyan stream to send events to Seq. Tested with Node.js versions 4.2.2 and up.

Usage

First, install bunyan-seq as a global tool:

``shell
npm install -g bunyan-seq
`

Then, pipe the output of your bunyan-enabled app to it:

`shell
node your-app.js | bunyan-seq --serverUrl http://localhost:5341 --apiKey 1234567890 --property application=ExampleApp
`

bunyan-seq accepts the following parameters:

- serverUrl - this is the base URL of your Seq server; if omitted, the default value of http://localhost:5341 will be used
- apiKey - your Seq API key, if one is required; the default does not send an API key
- logOtherAs - log other output (not formatted through bunyan) to seq at this loglevel. Useful to capture messages if the node process crashes or smilar.
- property - add additional properties to all logs sent to Seq

$3

You can specify property names as tokens in the log message to control how the event is rendered in Seq:

`js
// Seq will render this as 'Hi, Alice!'
log.info({ user: 'Alice' }, 'Hi, {user}!');
`

The full message template syntax is documented here.

$3

To enable capture of output not formatted through bunyan use the logOtherAs parameter. It's possible to use different settings for STDOUT/STDERR like this, when using bash:

`shell
node your-app.js
2> >(bunyan-seq --logOtherAs Error --serverUrl http://localhost:5341 --apiKey 1234567890)
> >(bunyan-seq --logOtherAs Information --serverUrl http://localhost:5341 --apiKey 1234567890)
`

In-process usage

Use the createStream() method to create a Bunyan stream configuration, passing serverUrl, apiKey and batching parameters.

`js
let bunyan = require('bunyan');
let seq = require('bunyan-seq');

var log = bunyan.createLogger({
name: 'myapp',
streams: [
{
stream: process.stdout,
level: 'warn'
},
seq.createStream({
serverUrl: 'http://localhost:5341',
level: 'info',
reemitErrorEvents: true,
onError: (e) => {
console.error('[SeqStreamCustomError] failed to log events:', e);
}
})
]
});

log.info('hi');
log.warn({ lang: 'fr' }, 'au revoir');
