Prefixing

const logUsers = log.module('users');

logUsers.info('Log specific to users module');

2017-05-12T15:57:14.474Z - info: [my-app-name:users] Log specific to users module

Profiling

log.profile('test');
setTimeout(() => log.profile('test'), 1000);

2017-05-12T15:57:14.474Z - info: [my-app-name] test {"durationMs":1000}

Log level

You can filter the list of logs on startup with the N9LOG environment or with the level option.

Possible values:

trace: Display all logs
debug: Display debug + info + warn + error logs
info: Display info + warn + error logs
warn: Display warn + error logs
error: Display only error logs

Default value: info

Example: N9LOG=error node server.js will display only error logs.

For performance matter, you can check if you need to compute your log data :

if (log.isLevelEnabled('debug')) {
	log.debug('My debug log', { complexDataAsOneField: JSON.stringify(data) });
}

Breaking changes from V3 to V4

Log level verbose renamed to log level trace
JSON Format is enabled by default, it wasn't before
Remove transports features
Filters function change their signatures
