winstonjs-http-transport

Custom HTTP Transport for winston

NOTE This is experimental code. Do not use in production

Why?

Winston already has a built-in HTTP Transport but it recommends using winstond as a backend which claims to support both HTTP and nssocket

If you already have an API endpoint for logging and looking for a really simple HTTP Transport to directly POST the logs there, you might find this usefull

Usage

import HTTPTransport from 'winstonjs-http-transport'
// OR
const HTTPTransport = require('winstonjs-http-transport')
 
 
logger.add(new HTTPTransport({
    logServer: 'http://your-log-server.com',
    room: 'backend-logs',
    bufferInterval: 1000 // ms
}))

This will POST the logs in the following JSON format

{
    "room": "backend-logs",
    "logs": [
        { "message": "Hello", "level": "info" },
        { "message": "World", "level": "warn" }
    ]
}

to the endpoint http://your-log-server.com/logs every 1000 ms (only if there are logs in that window)

If you want to use this module, I encourage you to see the code (it's just 27 lines) before and make any required changes as it is currently not optimized enough
