@opentelemetry/sdk-logs

OpenTelemetry Logs SDK

Note: This is an experimental package under active development. New releases may include breaking changes.

OpenTelemetry logs module contains the foundation for all logs SDKs of opentelemetry-js.

Used standalone, this module provides methods for manual instrumentation of code, offering full control over recording logs for client-side JavaScript (browser) and Node.js.

It does not provide automated instrumentation of known libraries or host environment logs out-of-the-box.

Installation

npm install --save @opentelemetry/api-logs
npm install --save @opentelemetry/sdk-logs

Usage

The basic setup of the SDK can be seen as followings:

const logsAPI = require('@opentelemetry/api-logs');
const {
  LoggerProvider,
  SimpleLogRecordProcessor,
  ConsoleLogRecordExporter,
} = require('@opentelemetry/sdk-logs');

// To start a logger, you first need to initialize the Logger provider.
const loggerProvider = new LoggerProvider();
// Add a processor to export log record
loggerProvider.addLogRecordProcessor(
  new SimpleLogRecordProcessor(new ConsoleLogRecordExporter())
);

//  To create a log record, you first need to get a Logger instance
const logger = loggerProvider.getLogger('default');

// You can also use global singleton
logsAPI.logs.setGlobalLoggerProvider(loggerProvider);
const logger = logsAPI.logs.getLogger('default');

// emit a log record
logger.emit({
  severityNumber: logsAPI.SeverityNumber.INFO,
  severityText: 'INFO',
  body: 'this is a log record body',
  attributes: { 'log.type': 'LogRecord' },
});

Config

Logs configuration is a merge of both the user supplied configuration and the default configuration as specified in config.ts
