jilo-server v0.1.2

jilo

Logging server

Install

$ npm install jilo-server

Setup

Create a capped collection in Mongo:

> db.createCollection('log', { capped: true, size: 100000 })

For more info, see the MongoDB documentation.

Start the server:

$ jilo-server --key=secret [options]

All clients must connect to the server using the token secret.

By default the server will start on port 3000 and connect to a database named jilo on localhost.

API

Query the server GET /:

curl 'http://localhost:3000/?token=secret&query=%7B%22format%22:%22string%22%7D'

Possible query params:

• query
• filter
• sort
• skip
• limit

The server will stream log entries to the client as they are logged (kind of like the lovely tail -f). Note: If you use either sort or limit streaming will be disabled for obvious reasons.

Send a log entry to the server POST /:

curl -i \
     -X POST \
     -d '{"host":"localhost","data":"foo","format":"string"}' \
     'http://localhost:3000/?token=secret'

JSON format

Example:

{
  format: 'json',
  timestamp: '2013-01-01T00:00:00.000Z'
  id: 123,
  level: 'info',
  user: 123,
  host: 'example.com',
  group: 'web',
  responseTime: 23,
  version: '1.7.1',
  data: {
    foo: 'bar'
  }
}
