mongoose-morgan

Is npm package which combines mongoose and morgan packages by adding additional functionality to log morgan data into a MongoDB database.

Install

To install this package just run:

npm install mongoose-morgan

Basic usage example

Here is an example of using mongoose-morgan together with the express app:

// express
var express = require('express');
var app = express();

// mongoose-morgan
var morgan = require('mongoose-morgan');

// connection-data
var port = process.env.port || 8080;

// Logger
app.use(morgan({
    connectionString: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/logs-db'
}));

// run
app.listen(port);
console.log('works... ' + port);

The example from the above will create inside logs-db database collection called logs and will store data inside it.

Detailed usage

mongoose-morgan accepts three parameters:

• mongoData : object type with next properties
  • required {string} connectionString

  • optional {string} collection
  • optional {string} user
  • optional {string} pass
  • optional {bool} capped (pull req by @Ni55aN)
  • optional {int} cappedSize (pull req by @Ni55aN)
  • optional {int} cappedMax (pull req by @Ni55aN)
  • optional {string} dbName (pull req by @pmstss)
  • optional {bool} useNewUrlParser (default: true)
  • optional {bool} useUnifiedTopology (default: true) (issue #8)

• options : object type - standard morgan options
• format : string type - standard morgan format

Example without morgan options:

app.use(morgan({
    connectionString: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/logs-db'
   }, {}, 'short'
));

Full example:

app.use(morgan({
    collection: 'error_logger',
    connectionString: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/logs-db',
    user: 'admin',
    pass: 'test12345'
   },
   {
    skip: function (req, res) {
        return res.statusCode < 400;
    }
   },
   'dev'
));

The code above will log data in dev format and will skip logging if the response status code is less than 400. Data will be stored in logs-db database in error_logger collection.
