winston-mysql-transport

A Mysql transport for winston.

Installation

Installing winston-mysql-transport via npm

  $ npm install winston
  $ npm install winston-mysql-transport

(or add it to your package.json)

Usage

First you must generate your log table

/*file : extras/schema.sql*/
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `my_database`.`log_table` (
    `id` int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    `level` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
    `message` text NOT NULL,
    `timestamp` datetime NOT NULL,
    `meta` varchar(255),
    `hostname` varchar(255),
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);

And in your code...

  var winston = require('winston');
  
  //
  // Requiring `winston-mysql-transport` will expose
  // `winston.transports.Mysql`
  //
  require('winston-mysql-transport').Mysql;
  
  options = {
  	database : "my_database",
  	table : "log_table",
  	user : "root"
  }
  
  winston.add(winston.transports.Mysql, options);
