prometheus-log-client v0.2.0

prometheus-log-client

This module provides a simple way to turn your application logs into Prometheus metrics, using regex to match and extract data from the logs.

It is intended for use with applications that already provide logging, and where retrofitting Prometheus instrumentation may be difficult, e.g. an existing PHP application.

How to use

Install from npm:

npm install prometheus-log-client

const PromLog = require('prometheus-log-client')
const promLog = new PromLog(6754)

promLog.listen()

promLog.createCounter(
    /^(WARN|ERROR)/, // regex to match again
    matches => { // how to process the matches
        return {
            name: 'fail_log_lines',
            help: 'Count of total error and warn log lines',
            labels: {
                level: matches[1].toLowerCase()
            }
        }
    }
)

promLog.watch('./test.log', '\n', (err) => {
    console.warn(err)
})

See example/app.js for a full working example.
