Log Cabin

Provides flexible logging for Node.JS applications inspired by Zend Framework's Zend_Log package.

Usage

In an Express-based application you might create something like lib/log.js

``javascript

var
logcabin = require('logcabin'),
Log = new logcabin.Log(),
logglyOptions = {
token: 'my-very-long-token',
subdomain: 'mysubdomain',
tags: [],
auth: {
username: "myusername",
password: "myP@ssw0rd"
},
json:true
}
;

switch (process.env.NODE_ENV) {

// on my local machine just console everything
case 'local':
Log.addWriter('console', new logcabin.writers.Console());
break;

// on development and production log to loggly
case 'development':
case 'production':
logglyOptions.tags.push(process.env.NODE_ENV);
var loggly = new logcabin.writers.Loggly(logglyOptions, ['warn', 'error', 'notfound', 'unauthorized']);
Log.addWriter('loggly', loggly);
}

module.exports = Log;

`

Then in your application you could do something like this:

`javascript

// be sure to point to the right path to where you saved log.js
var log = require('lib/log');

// Using a Mongoose model
MyModel.find({ name: 'john', age: { $gte: 18 }}, function (err, docs) {
if (err !== undefined) {
log.error(err);
}
});
