HTTP request logger middleware for node.js
|
|
|
|
> Named after [Dexter](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dexter_Morgan), a show you should not watch until completion.
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var morgan = require('morgan')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### morgan(format, options)
|
|
|
|
Create a new morgan logger middleware function using the given `format` and `options`.
|
|
The `format` argument may be a string of a predefined name (see below for the names),
|
|
a string of a format string, or a function that will produce a log entry.
|
|
|
|
#### Options
|
|
|
|
Morgan accepts these properties in the options object.
|
|
|
|
#### immediate
|
|
|
|
Write log line on request instead of response. This means that a requests will
|
|
be logged even if the server crashes, _but data from the response (like the
|
|
response code, content length, etc.) cannot be logged_.
|
|
|
|
##### skip
|
|
|
|
Function to determine if logging is skipped, defaults to `false`. This function
|
|
will be called as `skip(req, res)`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// EXAMPLE: only log error responses
|
|
morgan('combined', {
|
|
skip: function (req, res) { return res.statusCode < 400 }
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### stream
|
|
|
|
Output stream for writing log lines, defaults to `process.stdout`.
|
|
|
|
#### Predefined Formats
|
|
|
|
There are various pre-defined formats provided:
|
|
|
|
##### combined
|
|
|
|
Standard Apache combined log output.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
:remote-addr - :remote-user [:date[clf]] ":method :url HTTP/:http-version" :status :res[content-length] ":referrer" ":user-agent"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### common
|
|
|
|
Standard Apache common log output.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
:remote-addr - :remote-user [:date[clf]] ":method :url HTTP/:http-version" :status :res[content-length]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### dev
|
|
|
|
Concise output colored by response status for development use. The `:status`
|
|
token will be colored red for server error codes, yellow for client error
|
|
codes, cyan for redirection codes, and uncolored for all other codes.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
:method :url :status :response-time ms - :res[content-length]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### short
|
|
|
|
Shorter than default, also including response time.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
:remote-addr :remote-user :method :url HTTP/:http-version :status :res[content-length] - :response-time ms
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### tiny
|
|
|
|
The minimal output.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
:method :url :status :res[content-length] - :response-time ms
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Tokens
|
|
|
|
##### Creating new tokens
|
|
|
|
To define a token, simply invoke `morgan.token()` with the name and a callback function. This callback function is expected to return a string value. The value returned is then available as ":type" in this case:
|
|
```js
|
|
morgan.token('type', function(req, res){ return req.headers['content-type']; })
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Calling `morgan.token()` using the same name as an existing token will overwrite that token definition.
|
|
|
|
##### :date[format]
|
|
|
|
The current date and time in UTC. The available formats are:
|
|
|
|
- `clf` for the common log format (`"10/Oct/2000:13:55:36 +0000"`)
|
|
- `iso` for the common ISO 8601 date time format (`2000-10-10T13:55:36.000Z`)
|
|
- `web` for the common RFC 1123 date time format (`Tue, 10 Oct 2000 13:55:36 GMT`)
|
|
|
|
If no format is given, then the default is `web`.
|
|
|
|
##### :http-version
|
|
|
|
The HTTP version of the request.
|
|
|
|
##### :method
|
|
|
|
The HTTP version of the request.
|
|
|
|
##### :referrer
|
|
|
|
The Referrer header of the request. This will use the standard mis-spelled Referer header if exists, otherwise Referrer.
|
|
|
|
##### :remote-addr
|
|
|
|
The remote address of the request. This will use `req.ip`, otherwise the standard `req.connection.remoteAddress` value (socket address).
|
|
|
|
##### :remote-user
|
|
|
|
The user authenticated as part of Basic auth for the request.
|
|
|
|
##### :req[header]
|
|
|
|
The given `header` of the request.
|
|
|
|
##### :res[header]
|
|
|
|
The given `header` of the response.
|
|
|
|
##### :response-time
|
|
|
|
The time between the request coming into `morgan` and when the response headers are written, in milliseconds.
|
|
|
|
##### :status
|
|
|
|
The status code of the response.
|
|
|
|
##### :url
|
|
|
|
The URL of the request. This will use `req.originalUrl` if exists, otherwise `req.url`.
|
|
|
|
##### :user-agent
|
|
|
|
The contents of the User-Agent header of the request.
|
|
|
|
### morgan.compile(format)
|
|
|
|
Compile a format string into a function for use by `morgan`. A format string
|
|
is a string that represents a single log line and can utilize token syntax.
|
|
Tokens are references by `:token-name`. If tokens accept arguments, they can
|
|
be passed using `[]`, for example: `:token-name[pretty]` would pass the string
|
|
`'pretty'` as an argument to the token `token-name`.
|
|
|
|
Normally formats are defined using `morgan.format(name, format)`, but for certain
|
|
advanced uses, this compile function is directly available.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
### express/connect
|
|
|
|
Simple app that will log all request in the Apache combined format to STDOUT
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var express = require('express')
|
|
var morgan = require('morgan')
|
|
|
|
var app = express()
|
|
|
|
app.use(morgan('combined'))
|
|
|
|
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
|
|
res.send('hello, world!')
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### vanilla http server
|
|
|
|
Simple app that will log all request in the Apache combined format to STDOUT
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var finalhandler = require('finalhandler')
|
|
var http = require('http')
|
|
var morgan = require('morgan')
|
|
|
|
// create "middleware"
|
|
var logger = morgan('combined')
|
|
|
|
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
|
|
var done = finalhandler(req, res)
|
|
logger(req, res, function (err) {
|
|
if (err) return done(err)
|
|
|
|
// respond to request
|
|
res.setHeader('content-type', 'text/plain')
|
|
res.end('hello, world!')
|
|
})
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### write logs to a file
|
|
|
|
#### single file
|
|
|
|
Simple app that will log all requests in the Apache combined format to the file
|
|
`access.log`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var express = require('express')
|
|
var fs = require('fs')
|
|
var morgan = require('morgan')
|
|
|
|
var app = express()
|
|
|
|
// create a write stream (in append mode)
|
|
var accessLogStream = fs.createWriteStream(__dirname + '/access.log', {flags: 'a'})
|
|
|
|
// setup the logger
|
|
app.use(morgan('combined', {stream: accessLogStream}))
|
|
|
|
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
|
|
res.send('hello, world!')
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### log file rotation
|
|
|
|
Simple app that will log all requests in the Apache combined format to one log
|
|
file per date in the `log/` directory using the
|
|
[file-stream-rotator module](https://www.npmjs.com/package/file-stream-rotator).
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var FileStreamRotator = require('file-stream-rotator')
|
|
var express = require('express')
|
|
var fs = require('fs')
|
|
var morgan = require('morgan')
|
|
|
|
var app = express()
|
|
var logDirectory = __dirname + '/log'
|
|
|
|
// ensure log directory exists
|
|
fs.existsSync(logDirectory) || fs.mkdirSync(logDirectory)
|
|
|
|
// create a rotating write stream
|
|
var accessLogStream = FileStreamRotator.getStream({
|
|
filename: logDirectory + '/access-%DATE%.log',
|
|
frequency: 'daily',
|
|
verbose: false
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
// setup the logger
|
|
app.use(morgan('combined', {stream: accessLogStream}))
|
|
|
|
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
|
|
res.send('hello, world!')
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### use custom token formats
|
|
|
|
Sample app that will use custom token formats. This adds an ID to all requests and displays it using the `:id` token.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var express = require('express')
|
|
var morgan = require('morgan')
|
|
var uuid = require('node-uuid')
|
|
|
|
morgan.token('id', function getId(req) {
|
|
return req.id
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
var app = express()
|
|
|
|
app.use(assignId)
|
|
app.use(morgan(':id :method :url :response-time'))
|
|
|
|
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
|
|
res.send('hello, world!')
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
function assignId(req, res, next) {
|
|
req.id = uuid.v4()
|
|
next()
|
|
}
|
|
```
