vizia-logger
The unified logger for vizia.
Usage
It is convenient to create a loggers module to expose a logger object:
// loggers.js const createLogger = ; const options = {}; // See the options table below. const loggers = ; moduleexports = loggers;This loggers object has the fields logger, requestLoggerMiddleware
and responseTimeLogger.
It's also convenient to have a second wrapper module to export the logger
field:
// logger.js moduleexports = logger;options

loggers.logger
A bunyan logger. See the bunyan documentation for more information on usage.
loggers.requestLoggerMiddleware
A middleware function which logs incoming requests. Add this to your express
stack early. It provides you with a req.logger method which is a child logger.
Log output from req.logger will have a UUID so that all logs for a request can
be collected. The UUID will be added to the headers of the response as
X-Request-ID.
loggers.responseTimeMiddleware
A middleware function which appends a X-Response-Time header with the response
time in milliseconds.
