reporter enhancement request
nevf opened this issue · 5 comments
I am using reporter.logger
in my server code which accepts ( action, meta, msg )
params. I'd like to include other Objects in the Bunyan log.
Could an optional object param be added after msg
for this purpose. Or is there some other way I can do this.
Right now I am merging my object with meta
, which is not ideal.
What exactly you want to change? :)
Or show your server and logger code.
As per my previous post I've written this simple function:
/** Display spec'd info using the Logux specified logger to the console.
*/
function debug_logger( action, meta, msg ){
app.reporter.logger.info( { action: action, meta: jsome.getColoredString( meta ) }, msg || '' )
}
I'd like to be able to include other objects in the Bunyan log so something like:
function debug_logger( action, meta, msg, other_obj ){
app.reporter.logger.info( { action: action, meta: meta }, msg || '', other_obj || {} )
or
app.reporter.logger.info( { action: action, meta: meta, other_obj: other_obj || {} }, msg || '')
}
I hope that helps explain things.
Where and how do you use this debug_logger
?
I call it in my server code which uses logux server. For example in app.channel( ..)
I call
debug_logger( action, Object.assign( {}, meta, { params: params, creator: creator } ), 'app.channel()' )
so I can include params and creator in the Bunyan log. However it would be much better I could do something like:
debug_logger( action, meta, 'app.channel()', { params: params, creator: creator } )
or something like that.
In debug_logger
you don't need any special support from Logux. Just write directly to Bunyan instance in server.reporter
