- fast clone: basically make it reasonable to clone per HTTP request.
Ditch mutability. Add another context (another entry in Log record tuple?)?

- `log.close` to close streams and shutdown and `this.closed`
- line/file: possible to get quickly with v8? Yunong asked.
- what's the API for changing the logger/stream level(s)?
2012-01-31 01:17:39 +00:00
- bunyan cli: more layouts (http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/EnhancedPatternLayout.html)
Custom log formats (in config file? in '-f' arg) using printf or hogan.js
or whatever. Dap wants field width control for lining up. Hogan.js is
probably overkill for this.
- bunyan cli: filter args a la json
- bunyan cli: -c COND args a la json
- mark wants pretty output for debug output
- not sure if 'bunyan --pretty' or whatever would suffice
- ringBuffer stream
- syslog: Josh uses https://github.com/chrisdew/node-syslog
streams: [
...
{
level: "warn",
type: "syslog",
syslog_facility: "LOG_LOCAL1", // one of the syslog facility defines
syslog_pid: true, // syslog logopt "LOG_PID"
syslog_cons: false // syslog logopt "LOG_CONS"
}
- Logger.setLevel()? How to change level for a given stream. Default all,
else, give an index... or type ... or support stream "names".
- "canWrite" handling for full streams. Need to buffer a la log4js
- test file log with logadm rotation: does it handle that?

- test suite:
- test for a cloned logger double-`stream.end()` causing problems.
Perhaps the "closeOnExit" for existing streams should be false for
clones.
- test that a `log.clone(...)` adding a new field matching a serializer
works *and* that an existing field in the parent is not *re-serialized*.
- a "rolling-file" stream: but specifically by time, e.g. hourly. (MarkC
requested)
# someday/maybe
- file/line fields automatic: "but it's fucking slow" (https://gist.github.com/1733234)
function getFileAndLine() {
var self = this;
var saveLimit = Error.stackTraceLimit;
var savePrepare = Error.prepareStackTrace;
Error.stackTraceLimit = 1;
Error.captureStackTrace(this, getFileAndLine);
Error.prepareStackTrace = function(_, stack) {
self.file = stack[0].getFileName();
self.line = stack[0].getLineNumber();
};
this.stack;
Error.stackTraceLimit = saveLimit;
Error.prepareStackTrace = savePrepare;
return {
file: self.file,
line: self.line
}
}
Want some way to have file/line only at certain levesl and lazily.
- add option to "streams" to take the raw object, not serialized.
It would be a good hook for people with custom needs that Bunyan doesn't
care about (e.g. log.ly or hook.io or whatever).
- split out `bunyan` cli to a "bunyan" or "bunyan-reader" or "node-bunyan-reader"
as the basis for tools to consume bunyan logs. It can grow indep of node-bunyan
for generating the logs.
It would take a Bunyan log record object and be expected to emit it.
- serializer `request_id` that pulls it from req? `log.info({request_id: req}, "hi")`
- serializer support:
- restify-server.js example -> restifyReq ? or have `req` detect that.
That is nicer for the "use all standard ones". *Does* restify req
have anything special?
- differential HTTP *client* req/res with *server* req/res.
- statsd stream? http://codeascraft.etsy.com/2011/02/15/measure-anything-measure-everything/
Think about it.
