Stream your winston logs to a remote winston server

Winston Remote

Stream your winston logs to a remote winston server.

Install

Available via npm

npm install winston-remote

Usage

Set up your remote winston server:

var winston = require('winston');
var winstonRemote = require('winston-remote').Server;

var winstonServer = winstonRemote.createServer({
    port: 9003
});

winstonServer.listen();

// Set up the winston logger transports
winstonServer.logger = new (winston.Logger)({
    transports: [
        new winston.transports.File({ filename: '/var/log/winston/info.log' })
    ]
});

node server.js

Listening on port 9003

Set up your local winston transport that sends the winston logs to the remote server:

var winston = require('winston');
var winstonRemoteTransport = require('winston-remote').Transport;

var logger = new (winston.Logger)({
    transports: [
        new (winstonRemoteTransport)({
            host: '192.168.1.100', // Remote server ip
            port: 9003 // Remote server port
        })
    ]
});

Afterwards just log as usual:

logger.info('foo');

and then on your remote server you can check the save logged files:

cat /var/log/winston/info.log

{"level":"info","message":"foo","timestamp":"2014-05-12T02:56:23.039Z"}

With line info:

...
new (winstonRemoteTransport)({
    host: '127.0.0.1',
    port: 9003,
    label: 'Client',
    stack: true
})
...

info: Client::foo at example/log.js:16:8 Object.<anonymous>
