Interface for creating log records

npm install --save mlogy

The modules assumes loggers are organized in a tree tracked by the parent attribute however this is managed outside the implementation of the logger.

• context

  The context contains the shared settings shared between all loggers in a system. The context is stored as context on the logger and is allowed to change during the life time of the logger to allow loggers created by libraries to be assimilated into a bigger application logger hierarchy

  • defaultProcessors

    A List of processors; functions that accepts a record and somehow modifies it by e.g attaching extra data

  • proxy

    A proxy through which all records should be sent.

• name

  The name of the logger. By convention a dot.separated.string

• level

  The minimum level the logger will process records for as either a numeric value or a named level from standard-levels. If undefined the level of the parent logger is used.

var Logger = require('mlogy')
  , ctx = {defaultProcessors: []}
  , root = new Logger(ctx, '', 'ERROR')
  , other = new Logger(ctx, 'other', 'DEBUG')

other.parent = root
