NodeJS and Loggers (part 1)

Preamble

Brief interpretation of http://12factor.net/logs:

• Log is the stream of time-ordered events.
• App never concerns itself with routing or storage of its output stream.
• App should not attempt to write to or manage logfiles.
• App should write its event stream, unbuffered, to stdout.

Existing loggers

Following loggers have log management mechanism in the core of the module:

• Winston
• Bunyan
• Log4js
• log.js

All of them have tons of transports/formatters/adapters in the core of module. Most of issues adressed to transports or log management.

Debug specific loggers:

• Of course debug
• NodeJS 0.11 util.debuglog

Not stdout loggers:

• yal
