Express middleware for logging HTTP requests using Winston backend
npm install express-request-logsConfigurable Express middleware for logging HTTP requests using Winston backend.
$ npm install express-request-logs
const express = require('express'),
winston = require('winston'),
requestLogger = require('express-request-logs');
const winstonLogger = new (winston.Logger)(
transports: [new (winston.transports.Console)()]
);
const app = express();
app.use(requestLogger.create(winstonLogger));
This will produce logs similar to:
info: HTTP remoteIP=127.0.0.1, status=200, method=GET, responseTime=12ms, url=/, userAgent=Chrome 54.0.2840 / Mac OS X 10.11.6
app.use(requestLogger.create(winstonLogger, {
plugins: {
user: ({req, res, startTime}) => req.user ? req.user.name : null
},
format: ({user, remoteIP, method, url, responseTime}) =>
HTTP ${user ? user + '@' : ''}${remoteIP} ${method} ${url} took=${responseTime}
}));
This will produce logs similar to:
info: HTTP karol@127.0.0.1 GET / took=11ms
requestLogger.create(winstonLogger, options);
Where options are one of:
format - function(object.
``
options.format = function(fields) { return 'ip=' + fields['ip']; };
options.format = ['remoteIP', 'status', 'method', 'responseTime', 'url'];
plugins - object.
`
options.plugins = {
user: function(env) {
return env.req.user ? env.req.user.name : null;
}
}
severity - function({req: object, res: object, startDate: Date})* - Enables user to customize Winston logging severity based on request environment
`
options.severity = function(env) {
if (res.statusCode < 400)
return 'info';
if (res.statusCode < 500)
return 'warn';
return 'error';
}
* remoteIP - client IP address
* status - HTTP status
* method - request HTTP method
* responseTime - time consumed while processing request
* url - request url (with query params)
* userAgent - user agent information
