zmq-log-sender

Usage

Glossary

Work-in-progress module, not a fully-fledged module (yet), so contributions are warmly welcome! :)

Install dependencies

• libzmq3-dev (on Ubuntu trusty)
• node.js

npm install --save zmq-log-sender

In you logger service

Load the required modules

var logger = require('zmq-log-sender');
var os = require('os');
var ifaces = os.networkInterfaces();
var bonjour = require('bonjour');

Advertise that we want to send logs

bonjour.publish({
  name: 'your_unique_sender_name',
  type: 'zmq',
  port: 1784,
  host: ifaces.eth0[0].address
});

It will advertise that we would like to send logs, and any logger service listening will connect to us and do something with it (zmq-logger)

Send logs with

logger('your message');

or

logger('your message', {k1: 'val1', k2: 'val2'});

but it won't work because not implemented yet. But I intend to! just give me some motivation (kind words, beer, whatever)
