A log4js-node log appender to write logs into NeDB.
$ npm install log4js-node-nedb
You can use this appender like all other log4js-node appenders.
It just needs the filename-string to the nedb db.
Otherwise, you can use pre-initialized nedb database.
(NeDB doc)
You can log a string or any kind of object. The objects are stored as they are and not converted to strings.
var log4js = require('log4js');
var nedbAppender = require('log4js-node-nedb');
log4js.addAppender(
nedbAppender.appender({filename: 'log.nedb'}),
'cheese'
);
var logger = log4js.getLogger('cheese');
logger.trace('Entering cheese testing');
logger.debug('Got cheese.');
logger.info('Cheese is Gouda.');
logger.warn('Cheese is quite smelly.');
logger.error('Cheese is too ripe!');
logger.fatal('Cheese was breeding ground for listeria.');
// log objects
logger.info({id: 1, name: 'wayne'});
logger.info([1, 2, 3]);Or you can use the configure method.
var log4js = require('log4js'),
nedb = require('nedb'),
db = new nedb({ filename: 'path/to/datafile' });
db.loadDatabase();
log4js.configure({
appenders: [
{
type: 'console'
},
{
type: 'log4js-node-nedb',
database: db,
category: 'cheese'
}
]
});The log data is stored in the following format.
{
_id: ObjectID,
timestamp: loggingEvent.startTime,
data: loggingEvent.data,
level: loggingEvent.level,
category: loggingEvent.logger.category
}Here some examples.
var log4js = require('log4js'),
nedbAppender = require('log4js-node-nedb');
log4js.addAppender(
nedbAppender.appender({filename: 'log.nedb'}),
'audit'
);
var logger = log4js.getLogger('audit');
logger.debug('Hello %s, your are the %d user logged in!', 'wayne', 10);
// saved as
{
_id: new ObjectID(),
timestamp: new Date(),
data: 'Hello wayne, your are the 10 user logged in!',
level: {
level: 10000,
levelStr: 'DEBUG'
},
category: 'audit'
}
logger.info({id: 1, name: 'wayne'});
// saved as
{
_id: new ObjectID(),
timestamp: new Date(),
data: {
id: 1,
name: 'wayne'
},
level: {
level: 20000,
levelStr: 'INFO'
},
category: 'audit'
}There are some options which can by set through the config object.
