Http(s) broadcasting for Good process monitor

Lead Maintainer: Maxime Wimez

Usage

good-http-elastic is a write stream use to send event to remote endpoints in batches. It makes a "POST" request with a JSON payload to the supplied endpoint. It will make a final "POST" request to the endpoint to flush the rest of the data on "finish".

Good Http

GoodHttp (endpoint, config)

Creates a new GoodHttp object where:

• endpoint - full path to remote server to transmit logs.
• config - configuration object
  • [threshold] - number of events to hold before transmission. Need to be 0.
  • [errorThreshold] - number of consecutive failed transmissions allowed (ECONNRESET, ECONNREFUSED, etc). Defaults to 0. Failed events will be included in the next transmission until they are successfully logged or the threshold is reached (whichever comes first) at which point they will be cleared. Set to null to ignore all errors and always clear events.
  • [wreck] - configuration object to pass into wreck. Defaults to { timeout: 60000, headers: {} }. content-type is always "application/json".

Schema

Each POST will match the following schema. The payload that is POSTed to the endpoint has the following schema:

{
  "host":"servername.home",
  "event":"request",
  "timestamp":1413464014739,
  ...
}
