A Node.js client for the Seq HTTP ingestion API

Seq Logging for JavaScript

This library makes it easy to support Seq from Node.js logging libraries, initially Bunyan via bunyan-seq. It is not expected that applications will interact directly with this package.

Usage

A Logger is configured with serverUrl, and optionally apiKey as well as event and batch size limits.

let process = require('process');
let seq = require('seq-logging');

let logger = new seq.Logger({ serverUrl: 'http://localhost:5341' });

logger.emit({
    timestamp: new Date(),
    level: 'Information',
    messageTemplate: 'Hello for the {n}th time, {user}!',
    properties: {
        user: process.env.USERNAME,
        n: 20
    }
});

logger.close();

Events are sent using the emit() method, that internally performs asynchronous batching based on payload size.

When the application exits, close() ensures all buffered events are written. This can be done at any time otherwise using the flush() method. Both of these methods return promises indicating completion.
