A Logstash0 UDP transport for winston1.
Based on a gist2 by mbrevoort3 and inspired by winston-logstash4.
Alternate method:
If you are running a version of NodeJS less than or equal to 0.8, upgrading NPM to a version greater than or equal to 1.4.6 should solve this issue.
``` npm install -g npm@~1.4.6 ```
Another way around is to simply avoid installing the development dependencies:
``` npm install --production ```

Usage
Node
Recommended method:var winston = require('winston'),
LogstashUDP = require('winston-logstash-udp').LogstashUDP;
var logger = new(winston.Logger)({
transports: [
new(LogstashUDP)({
port: 9999,
appName: 'my application name',
host: '127.0.0.1'
})
]
});
Alternate method:
var winston = require('winston');
//
// Requiring `winston-logstash-udp` will expose
// `winston.transports.LogstashUDP`
//
require('winston-logstash-udp');
winston.add(winston.transports.LogstashUDP, {
port: 9999,
appName: 'my application name',
host: '127.0.0.1'
});
Logstash
input {
# Sample input over UDP
udp { format => "json" port => 9999 type => "sample" }
}
output {
stdout { debug => true debug_format => "json"}
}
