Pino Transport that abstracts Google Cloud Logging implementation underneath.
This library executes a thin abstraction of the [`@google-cloud/logging`](https://cloud.google.com/nodejs/docs/reference/logging/latest) client library.
The goal is to provide a clean support over Google Cloud Logging service for the Pino ecosystem using the Transport feature of Pino itself.
The library can be used either by piping logs using the `pipe` operator on Linux, or programatically by installing it as part of your dependencies in you project.
**Within your Dependencies**
Using it programatically, is easy as just install the library as part for your dependencies in any of the following ways:
- **npm**: `npm install cloud-pine`
- **yarn**: `yarn add cloud-pine`
- **pnpm**: `pnpm install cloud-pine`
Once installed, is necessary to set it up as part of of your Pino transport configuration, an example can be:
```js
const Pino = require('pino')
const logger = Pino({
transport: {
target: 'cloud-pine',
options: {
cloudLoggingOptions: {
skipInit: true,
sync: true,
}
}
}
})
logger.info('hello world')
logger.error({ oops: 'hello!' }, 'error')
```
or in **TypeScript**
```ts
import Pino from ('pino')
const logger = Pino({
transport: {
target: 'cloud-pine',
options: {
cloudLoggingOptions: {
skipInit: true,
sync: true,
}
}
}
})
logger.info('hello world')
logger.error({ oops: 'hello!' }, 'error')
```
**NOTE**: The `projectId` string and `resource` object on the Logging instance are detected and set automatically 🎉
**Configuration**
`Cloud-Pine` supports the following configuration:
```js
const cloudPine = {
logName: 'cloud-pine', // Name of the logging agent. Default to 'cloud-pine'
cloudLoggingOptions: {
googleCloudOptions: {}, // Configuration Object for establishing connection with Google Cloud Logging. Default to undefined. Ref: https://cloud.google.com/nodejs/docs/reference/logging/latest/logging/loggingoptions
resourceSettings: {}, // Resource settings hash, default to `{ type: 'global' }`. The hash is persisted across logs and inferred based on the API `Logging#setDetectedResource` result. Ref: https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/v2/rest/v2/MonitoredResource
defaultLabels: {}, // Labels hash, default to `{ logger: 'pino', agent: 'cloud_pine' }`. The hash is persisted across logs. Ref: https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/v2/rest/v2/LogEntry,
logOptions: {}, // Configuration object that is passed to the Log/LogSync instance. Default to undefined. Ref: https://cloud.google.com/nodejs/docs/reference/logging/latest/logging/log and https://cloud.google.com/nodejs/docs/reference/logging/latest/logging/logsync
skipInit: false, // Indicates wheter to skip the automatic inferr of `projectId` and `MonitoredResource` metadata. Default to `false`.
sync: false, // Indicates wheter to use a Log or LogSync instance. Default to false.
}
}
```
>For more information about the `sync` and `async` diference, please take a look at the section [Sync or Async](
**CLI**
When using it in CLI mode, all the logs are ingested automatically from `stdin`. In case exists some malformed log, the library will automatically dispatch an log with severity to `error` to Google Cloud Logging.
**Usage**
See the following description for usage:
```
Usage: cat log | cloud-pine --projectid someprojectid -l something=else -l service=http
Flags
-h | --help Display Help
-v | --version Display Version
-n | --name Log Name. Default to Cloud_Pine
-s | --sync Cloud Logging Mode. Sync will print to `stdout`
meanwhile async will forward logs to Cloud Logging.
Default to true.
-p | --projectid Google Cloud Project ID. Default to automatic
detected resource or
`GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`
-k | --key Path to key file
-l | --labels Custom labels to be attached to the logging labels.
Should be in the format `label=value`.
Can be used one or more times.
-r | --resource Monitoring Resource type. Default to `type=global`
or Monitored Resource detected.
-rs | --resource-labels Monitoring Resource
to the resource by default.
Follows same pattern as `--labels`.
-i | --skip-init Skips identification of monitored resource, which
will infer things like `project-id` and Monitored
Resource settings. Default to false.
```
**TypeScript Interface**
```ts
type CloudPineOptions = {
logName?: string;
cloudLoggingOptions: {
googleCloudOptions?: LoggingOptions;
resourceSettings?: {
type?: string;
labels: Record<string, string>;
};
defaultLabels?: Record<string, string>;
skipInit?: boolean;
sync?: boolean;
logOptions?: ConstructorParameters<typeof Log> | ConstructorParameters<typeof LogSync>;
};
```
<a id="syncorasync"></a>
The library can be used in either of two modes, `sync` or `async`.
The default mode for the CLI usage is `sync` meaning that all logs will be directly streamed to `stdout`, meanwhile the default mode for the Transport usage is `async`, where all the logs will be streamed directly to Google Cloud Logging service.
>For more information about when to use one or another please take a look at the following documentation: [**Writting to `stdout`**](https://cloud.google.com/nodejs/docs/reference/logging/latest#writing-to-stdout).
