winston-logstash-udp

A Logstash UDP transport for winston.

Based on a gist by mbrevoort and inspired by winston-logstash.

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"}
    }
