bunyan-slack

Bunyan stream for Slack chat integration

First install bunyan...

npm install bunyan

Then install bunyan-slack

npm install bunyan-slack

Basic Setup

var bunyan  = require("bunyan"),
	BunyanSlack = require('bunyan-slack'),
	log;

log = bunyan.createLogger({
	name: "myApp",
	stream: new BunyanSlack({
		webhook_url: "your_webhook_url",
		channel: "#your_channel",
		username: "your_username",
	}),
	level: "error"
});

log.error("hello bunyan slack");

You can also pass an optional error handler.

Specify a Slack channel by name with "channel": "#other-channel", or send a Slackbot message to a specific user with "channel": "@username".

new BunyanSlack({
	webhook_url: "your_webhook_url",
	channel: "#your_channel",
	username: "your_username",
}, function(error){
	console.log(error);
});

Custom Formatters

By default the logs are formatted like so: [LOG_LEVEL] message, unless you specify a customFormatter function.

	log = bunyan.createLogger({
	name: "myApp",
	stream: new BunyanSlack({
		webhook_url: "your_webhook_url",
		channel: "#your_channel",
		username: "your_username",
		customFormatter: function(record, levelName){
			return {text: "[" + levelName + "] " + record.msg }
		}
	}),
	level: "error"
});

Custom Formatter Options

Check the slack docs for custom formatter options.

Putting it all together

var bunyan  = require("bunyan"),
	BunyanSlack = require('bunyan-slack'),
	log;

log = bunyan.createLogger({
	name: 'myapp',
	stream: new BunyanSlack({
		webhook_url: 'your_webhook_url',
		icon_url: "your_icon_url",
		channel: '#your_channel',
		username: "your_username",
		icon_emoji: ":scream_cat:",
		customFormatter: function(record, levelName) {
			return {
				attachments: [{
					fallback: "Required plain-text summary of the attachment.",
					color: '#36a64f',
					pretext: "Optional text that appears above the attachment block",
					author_name: "Seth Pollack",

					text: "Optional text that appears within the attachment",
					fields: [{

				}]
			};
		}
	}),
