 * configurable log message layout/patterns
 * different log levels for different log categories (make some parts of your app log as DEBUG, others only ERRORS, etc.)

+NOTE: version 0.6.0 onwards will only work with node v0.10.x upwards, since it makes use of the new streams API. If you're using node 0.8 or lower, use log4js@0.5.7.
+
+NOTE: from log4js 0.5 onwards you'll need to explicitly enable replacement of node's console.log functions. Do this either by calling `log4js.replaceConsole()` or configuring with an object or json file like this:

 ## usage

 Minimalist version:
-
-           var log4js = require('log4js');
-           var logger = log4js.getLogger();
-           logger.debug("Some debug messages");
-
+```javascript
+var log4js = require('log4js');
+var logger = log4js.getLogger();
+logger.debug("Some debug messages");
+```
 By default, log4js outputs to stdout with the coloured layout (thanks to [masylum](http://github.com/masylum)), so for the above you would see:
+```bash
+[2010-01-17 11:43:37.987] [DEBUG] [default] - Some debug messages
+```
+See example.js for a full example, but here's a snippet (also in fromreadme.js):
+```javascript
+var log4js = require('log4js'); 
+//console log is loaded by default, so you won't normally need to do this
+//log4js.loadAppender('console');
+log4js.loadAppender('file');
+//log4js.addAppender(log4js.appenders.console());
+log4js.addAppender(log4js.appenders.file('logs/cheese.log'), 'cheese');

-    logger.debug('Got cheese.');
-    logger.info('Cheese is Gouda.');

 The first 5 lines of the code above could also be written as:
-
-    var log4js = require('log4js');
-    log4js.configure({
-	    appenders: [
-		    { type: 'console' },
-		    { type: 'file', filename: 'logs/cheese.log', category: 'cheese' }
-	    ]
-    });
-    
+```javascript
+var log4js = require('log4js');
+log4js.configure({
+  appenders: [
+    { type: 'console' },
+    { type: 'file', filename: 'logs/cheese.log', category: 'cheese' }
+  ]
+});
+```

 ## configuration

 You can configure the appenders and log levels manually (as above), or provide a
-configuration file (`log4js.configure('path/to/file.json')`), or a configuration object.
+configuration file (`log4js.configure('path/to/file.json')`), or a configuration object. The 
+configuration file location may also be specified via the environment variable 
+LOG4JS_CONFIG (`export LOG4JS_CONFIG=path/to/file.json`). 
 An example file can be found in `test/log4js.json`. An example config file with log rolling is in `test/with-log-rolling.json`.
 By default, the configuration file is checked for changes every 60 seconds, and if changed, reloaded. This allows changes to logging levels to occur without restarting the application.

 To turn off configuration file change checking, configure with:

-    var log4js = require('log4js');
-    log4js.configure('my_log4js_configuration.json', {});
-
+```javascript
+var log4js = require('log4js');
+log4js.configure('my_log4js_configuration.json', {});
+```
 To specify a different period:

-    log4js.configure('file.json', { reloadSecs: 300 });
-
+```javascript
+log4js.configure('file.json', { reloadSecs: 300 });
+```
 For FileAppender you can also pass the path to the log directory as an option where all your log files would be stored.

-    log4js.configure('my_log4js_configuration.json', { cwd: '/absolute/path/to/log/dir' });
-
+```javascript
+log4js.configure('my_log4js_configuration.json', { cwd: '/absolute/path/to/log/dir' });
+```
 If you have already defined an absolute path for one of the FileAppenders in the configuration file, you could add a "absolute": true to the particular FileAppender to override the cwd option passed. Here is an example configuration file:
-
-    #### my_log4js_configuration.json ####
+```json
+#### my_log4js_configuration.json ####
+{
+  "appenders": [
    {

Nicolas Pelletier	b75e3660f4	Speed up file logging for high rate of logging. During an evaluation of multiple loggers, I saw a slow down when trying to quickly log more than 100,000 messages to a file: ```javascript counter = 150000; while (counter) { logger.info('Message[' + counter + ']'); counter -= 1; } ``` My detailed test can be found here: - https://gist.github.com/NicolasPelletier/4773843 The test demonstrate that writing 150,000 lines straight in a FileStream takes about 22 seconds until the file content stabilizes. When calling logger.debug() 150,000 times, the file stabilizes to its final content after 229s ( almost 4 minutes ! ). After investigation, it turns out that the problem is using an Array() to accumulate the data. Pushing the data in the Array with Array.push() is quick, but the code flushing the buffer uses Array.shift(), which forces re-indexing of all 149,999 elements remaining in the Array. This is exponentially slower as the buffer grows. The solution is to use something else than an Array to accumulate the messages. The fix was made using a package called Dequeue ( https://github.com/lleo/node-dequeue ). By replacing the Array with a Dequeue object, it brought the logging of 150,000 messages back down to 31s. Seven times faster than the previous 229s. There is a caveat that each log event is slightly longer due to the need to create an object to put in the double-ended queue inside the Dequeue object. According to a quick test, it takes about 4% more time per call to logger.debug().	2013-02-13 09:35:02 -05:00

osher	f948b5f5cd	Add unit tests - layouts-test.js	2012-08-01 10:11:37 +03:00
osher	54e420eb58	Update lib/layouts.js Errors sometimes carry additional attributes on them as part of the passed error data. A utility that utilizes it, for example - is called 'errs', which is in use for instance 'nano' - the couch-db driver. when only the stack is printed - all the additional information that is augmented on the error object does not sink to the log and is lost. consider the following code: ``` //the oups throwing utility function oups(){ e = new Error(); extend( { message : "Oups error" , description: "huston, we got a problem" , status : "MESS" , errorCode : 991 , arr :[1,2,3,4,{}] , data: { c:{} , d:{e:{}} } } throw e; } var log = require('log4js') try{ oups() } catch( e ) { log.error("error on oups", e ); } ``` output before the fix ``` error on oups Error: Oups error at repl:1:11 at REPLServer.eval (repl.js:80:21) at Interface.<anonymous> (repl.js:182:12) at Interface.emit (events.js:67:17) at Interface._onLine (readline.js:162:10) at Interface._line (readline.js:426:8) at Interface._ttyWrite (readline.js:603:14) at ReadStream.<anonymous> (readline.js:82:12) at ReadStream.emit (events.js:88:20) ``` output after the fix would be ``` error on oups { [Error: My error message] name: 'Error', description: 'huston, we got a problem', status: 'MESS', errorCode: 991, arr: [ 1, 2, 3, 4, {} ], data: { c: {}, d: { e: {} } } } Error: Oups error at repl:1:11 at REPLServer.eval (repl.js:80:21) at Interface.<anonymous> (repl.js:182:12) at Interface.emit (events.js:67:17) at Interface._onLine (readline.js:162:10) at Interface._line (readline.js:426:8) at Interface._ttyWrite (readline.js:603:14) at ReadStream.<anonymous> (readline.js:82:12) at ReadStream.emit (events.js:88:20) ```	2012-07-31 14:32:03 +03:00
