.SH "DESCRIPTION"
"Bunyan" is \fBa simple and fast a JSON logging library\fR for node\.js services, a one\-JSON\-object\-per\-line log format, and \fBa \fBbunyan\fR CLI tool\fR for nicely viewing those logs\. This man page describes the latter\.
.
.SS "Pretty\-printing"
A bunyan log file is a stream of JSON objects, optionally interspersed with non\-JSON log lines\. The primary usage of bunyan(1) is to pretty print, for example:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
$ bunyan foo\.log # or `cat foo\.log | bunyan
[2012\-02\-08T22:56:52\.856Z] INFO: myservice/123 on example\.com: My message
extra: multi
line
[2012\-02\-08T22:56:54\.856Z] ERROR: myservice/123 on example\.com: My message
\.\.\.
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
By default the "long" output format is used\. Use the \fB\-o FORMAT\fR option to emit other formats\. E\.g\.:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
$ bunyan foo\.log \-o short
22:56:52\.856Z INFO myservice: My message
extra: multi
line
22:56:54\.856Z ERROR myservice: My message
\.\.\.
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
These will color the output if supported in your terminal\. See "OUTPUT FORMATS" below\.
.
.SS "Filtering"
The \fBbunyan\fR CLI can also be used to filter a bunyan log\. Use \fB\-l LEVEL\fR to filter by level:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
$ bunyan foo\.log \-l error # show only \'error\' level records
[2012\-02\-08T22:56:54\.856Z] ERROR: myservice/123 on example\.com: My message
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
Use \fB\-c COND\fR to filter on a JavaScript expression returning true on the record data\. In the COND code, \fBthis\fR refers to the record object:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
$ bunyan foo\.log \-c `this\.three` # show records with the \'extra\' field
[2012\-02\-08T22:56:52\.856Z] INFO: myservice/123 on example\.com: My message
extra: multi
line
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.
.TP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
Print this help info and exit\.
.
.TP
\fB\-\-version\fR
Print version of this command and exit\.
.
.TP
\fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR
Don\'t warn if input isn\'t valid JSON\.
.
.P
Filtering options:
.
.TP
\fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-level LEVEL\fR
Only show messages at or above the specified level\. You can specify level \fInames\fR or numeric values\. (See \'Log Levels\' below\.)
.
.TP
\fB\-c COND\fR, \fB\-\-condition COND\fR
Run each log message through the condition and only show those that resolve to a truish value\. E\.g\. \fB\-c \'this\.pid == 123\'\fR\.
.
.TP
\fB\-\-strict\fR
Suppress all but legal Bunyan JSON log lines\. By default non\-JSON, and non\-Bunyan lines are passed through\.
.
.P
Output options:
.
.TP
\fB\-\-color\fR
Colorize output\. Defaults to try if output stream is a TTY\.
.
.TP
\fB\-\-no\-color\fR
Force no coloring (e\.g\. terminal doesn\'t support it)
.
.TP
\fB\-o FORMAT\fR, \fB\-\-output FORMAT\fR
Specify an output format\. One of \fBlong\fR (the default), \fBshort\fR, \fBjson\fR, \fBjson\-N\fR, \fBbunyan\fR (the native bunyan 0\-indent JSON output) or \fBinspect\fR\.
.
.TP
\fB\-j\fR
Shortcut for \fB\-o json\fR\.
.
.SH "LOG LEVELS"
In Bunyan log records, then \fBlevel\fR field is a number\. For the \fB\-l|\-\-level\fR argument the level \fBnames\fR are supported as shortcuts\. In \fB\-c|\-\-condition\fR scripts, uppercase symbols like "DEBUG" are defined for convenience\.
.

FORMAT NAME DESCRIPTION
long (default) The default output\. Long form\. Colored and "pretty"\.
\'req\' and \'res\' and \'err\' fields are rendered specially
as an HTTP request, HTTP response and exception
stack trace, respectively\. For backward compat, the
name "paul" also works for this\.
short Like the default output, but more concise\. Some
typically redundant fields are ellided\.
json JSON output, 2\-space indentation\.
json\-N JSON output, N\-space indentation, e\.g\. "json\-4"
bunyan Alias for "json\-0", the Bunyan "native" format\.
inspect Node\.js `util\.inspect` output\.
.
.fi
.
.SH "DTRACE SUPPORT"
On systems that support DTrace (e\.g\., MacOS, FreeBSD, illumos derivatives like SmartOS and OmniOS), Bunyan will create a DTrace provider (\fBbunyan\fR) that makes available the following probes:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
log\-trace
log\-debug
log\-info
log\-warn
log\-error
log\-fatal
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
Each of these probes has a single argument: the string that would be written to the log\. Note that when a probe is enabled, it will fire whenever the corresponding function is called, even if the level of the log message is less than that of any stream\.
.
.P
See \fIhttps://github\.com/trentm/node\-bunyan#dtrace\-support\fR for more details and the \'\-p PID\' option above for convenience usage\.
.
.SH "ENVIRONMENT"
.
.TP
\fBBUNYAN_NO_COLOR\fR
Set to a non\-empty value to force no output coloring\. See \'\-\-no\-color\'\.
.
.SH "PROJECT & BUGS"
\fBbunyan\fR is written in JavaScript and requires node\.js (\fBnode\fR)\. The project lives at \fIhttps://github\.com/trentm/node\-bunyan\fR and is published to npm as "bunyan"\.
