loglevel-plugin-remote
A loglevel plugin for sending browser logs to a server. NPM versionBuild Status

Features

  • Sends logs asynchronously with a specified frequency using only one request at a time.
  • Slows the frequency of sending after a fail and restores after success.
  • Supports Bearer authentication scheme.
  • Provides light string interpolation like console and node.js (%s, %d, %j, %o).
  • Provides the ability to add any values ​​to the logs and specify a custom format.
  • Single file, no dependencies, weighs in at 2.3KB minified and gzipped.

Installation

```sh npm i loglevel-plugin-remote --save ```

API

This plugin is under active development and should be considered as an unstable. No guarantees regarding API stability are made. Backward compatibility is guaranteed only by path releases.

apply(loglevel, options)

This method applies the plugin to the loglevel.

Parameters

loglevel - the root logger, imported from loglevel package options - an optional configuration object ```javascript const defaults = { url: '/logger', method: 'POST', headers: {}, token: '', onUnauthorized: failedToken => {}, timeout: 0, interval: 1000, level: 'trace', backoff: {
multiplier: 2,
jitter: 0.1,
limit: 30000,
}, capacity: 500, stacktrace: {
levels: ['trace', 'warn', 'error'],
depth: 3,
excess: 0,
}, timestamp: () => new Date().toISOString(), format: remote.plain, }; ```
  • url (string) - a URL of the server logging API
  • method (string) - a HTTP method of the server logging API
  • headers (object) - this is to support custom headers passed down to the post request. For example { 'my-header': 'myHeaderValue' }
  • token (string) - a token for Bearer authentication scheme (see RFC 6750), e.g. UUID or JWT. By default is ''. If you set the value to undefined, the sending of logs will be suspended until the setToken method is called, but the logs will still accumulate in the queue.
  • onUnauthorized (function) - this function will be called after the sending of logs is suspended due to an authentication error. A token that has not been authenticated will be passed to the function.
  • interval (number) - a time in milliseconds between sending messages. By default is 1000 (one second).
  • level (string) - a plugin specific level. The plugin level does not cancel the level of the logger. The highest level will be used to send messages. If the level of the logger is warn, and the level of the plugin is error, only messages with the error level will be sent to the server. By default is trace.
  • backoff (function|object) - a function used to increase the sending interval after each failed send. The function receives the duration of the previous suspend and returns the duration of the next suspend. Instead of the function backoff can be represented by an object with 3 properties: multiplier, jitter and limit. By default, it doubles the interval (multiplier=2) and adds 10% jitter (jitter=0.1). Having reached the value of 30 seconds (limit=30000), the interval increase stops. After successful sending, the interval will be reset to the initial value.
  • capacity (number) - the size of the queue in which messages are accumulated between sending. By default is 500. Overflow will delete the oldest messages. It is forbidden to set the value to 0 - in this case the default value will be used.
  • stacktrace (object) - object for configuring a stacktrace with the following properties:
- levels (array) - lots of levels for which to add the stack trace. By default is trace, warn and error. - depth (number) - number of stack trace lines. By default is 3. - excess (number) - number of excess lines generated by following plugins (each plugin adds one line). This number of lines will be removed from the top of the stack trace. By default is 0.
  • timestamp (function) - a function that returns a timestamp. By default, it returns the time in the ISO format (see ISO 8601)
  • format (function) - this option defines the logs format. This function will generate a log, obtaining as a single argument a log object that looks like this:
```javascript const log = { message: 'Text', level: {
label: 'info',
value: 2,
}, logger: 'child', timestamp: '2017-05-29T12:53:46.000Z', stacktrace: '', }; ``` When the function returns a string, the logs will be sent as plain text. The default value is function remote.plain: ```javascript function plain(log) { return `${log.timestamp} ${log.level.label.toUpperCase()}${
log.logger ? ` (${log.logger})` : ''
}: ${log.message}${log.stacktrace ? \n${log.stacktrace} : ''}`; } ``` Then when you call: ```javascript log.getLogger('child').info('Info message'); log.error('Error message'); ``` the logs look like this: ``` 2017-05-29T12:53:46.000Z INFO (child): Info message 2017-05-29T12:53:46.001Z ERROR: Error message
at http://localhost/test.js:12:5
``` When the function returns an object, the logs will be sent in json format. You can use the preset function remote.json: ```javascript function json(log) { log.level = log.level.label; return log; } ``` then the logs will look like this: ```json { "logs":
{
"message": "Info message",
"level": "info",
"logger": "child",
"timestamp": "2017-05-29T12:53:46.000Z",
"stacktrace": ""
},
{
"message": "Error message",
"level": "error",
"logger": "",
"timestamp": "2017-05-29T12:53:46.001Z",
"stacktrace": "    at http://localhost/test.js:12:5"
}
} ``` You can include any values ​​in the log. For example: ```javascript import log from 'loglevel'; import remote from 'loglevel-plugin-remote'; const getCounter = () => { let count = 1; return () => count++; }; const counter = getCounter(); const customPlain = log => [${counter()}] ${log.message}; / const customJSON = log => ({ msg: log.message, count: counter(), }); / remote.apply(log, { format: customPlain }); // remote.apply(log, { format: customJSON }); log.enableAll(); log.info('Message one'); log.info('Message two'); ``` customPlain: ``` 1 Message one 2 Message two ``` customJSON: ```json { "logs":
{
"msg": "Message one",
"count": 1
},
{
"msg": "Message two",
"count": 2
}
} ```

setToken(token)

This method only has an effect after a successful call to the apply method and is used to assign a new authentication token. If you pass the value undefined, the sending of logs will be suspended until the next setToken call, but the logs will still accumulate in the queue.

disable()

This method cancels the effect of the plugin.

Base usage

Browser directly

```html ```

ES6

```javascript import log from 'loglevel'; import remote from 'loglevel-plugin-remote'; remote.apply(log); log.warn('message'); ```

CommonJS

```javascript var log = require('loglevel'); var remote = require('loglevel-plugin-remote'); remote.apply(log); log.warn('message'); ```

AMD

```javascript define('loglevel', 'loglevel-plugin-remote', function(log, remote) { remote.apply(log); log.warn('message'); }); ```

Example

Code ```javascript var log = require('loglevel'); var remote = require('loglevel-plugin-remote'); log.enableAll(); remote.apply(log); log.info('Log levels:'); log.trace('trace message'); log.debug('debug message'); log.info('info message'); log.warn('warn message'); log.error('error message'); ``` Output in a log server ``` 2017-05-29T12:53:46.000Z INFO: Log levels: 2017-05-29T12:53:46.000Z TRACE: trace message
