Container = function (options) {
this.loggers = {};
this.options = options || {};
this.default = {
transports: [
new winston.transports.Console({
level: 'silly',
colorize: false
})
]
}
}...
category1.info('logging from your IoC container-based logger');
```
If you prefer to manage the `Container` yourself you can simply instantiate one:
``` js
var winston = require('winston'),
container = new winston.Container();
container.add('category1', {
console: {
level: 'silly',
colorize: true
},
file: {
...Logger = function (options) {
events.EventEmitter.call(this);
this.configure(options);
}...
.add(winston.transports.File)
.remove(winston.transports.Console);
```
You can also wholesale reconfigure a `winston.Logger` instance using the `configure` method:
``` js
var logger = new winston.Logger({
level: 'info',
transports: [
new (winston.transports.Console)(),
new (winston.transports.File)({ filename: 'somefile.log' })
]
});
...Transport = function (options) {
events.EventEmitter.call(this);
options = options || {};
this.silent = options.silent || false;
this.raw = options.raw || false;
this.name = options.name || this.name;
this.formatter = options.formatter;
//
// Do not set a default level. When `level` is falsey on any
// `Transport` instance, any `Logger` instance uses the
// configured level (instead of the Transport level)
//
this.level = options.level;
this.handleExceptions = options.handleExceptions || false;
this.exceptionsLevel = options.exceptionsLevel || 'error';
this.humanReadableUnhandledException = options.humanReadableUnhandledException || false;
}n/a
add = function () {
return defaultLogger[method].apply(defaultLogger, arguments);
}...
winston.level = 'debug';
winston.log('debug', 'Now my debug messages are written to console!');
```
By default, only the Console transport is set on the default logger. You can add or remove transports via the add() and remove()
methods:
``` js
winston.add(winston.transports.File, { filename: 'somefile.log' });
winston.remove(winston.transports.Console);
```
Or do it with one call to configure():
``` js
winston.configure({
...addColors = function (colors) {
mixin(allColors, colors);
}...
Although there is slight repetition in this data structure, it enables simple encapsulation if you do not want to have colors. If
you do wish to have colors, in addition to passing the levels to the Logger itself, you must make winston aware of them:
``` js
//
// Make winston aware of these colors
//
winston.addColors(myCustomLevels.colors);
```
This enables transports with the 'colorize' option set to appropriately color the output of custom levels.

//

//

For more documentation about working with each individual transport supported by Winston see the [Winston Transports](docs/transports
.md) document.
...debug = function (msg) {
// build argument list (level, msg, ... [string interpolate], [{metadata}], [callback])
var args = [level].concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments));

```
As of 0.2.0, winston supports customizable logging levels, defaulting to [npm][0] style logging levels. Changing logging levels
is easy:
...error = function (msg) {
// build argument list (level, msg, ... [string interpolate], [{metadata}], [callback])
var args = [level].concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments));
target.log.apply(target, args);

}...
## Exceptions
### Handling Uncaught Exceptions with winston
With `winston`, it is possible to catch and log `uncaughtException` events from your process. There are two distinct ways of enabling
this functionality either through the default winston logger or your own logger instance.
If you want to use this feature with the default logger simply call `.handleExceptions()` with a transport instance.
``` js
//
// You can add a separate exception logger by passing it to `.handleExceptions`
//
winston.handleExceptions(new winston.transports.File({ filename: 'path/to/exceptions.log' }))
...hash = function (str) {
return crypto.createHash('sha1').update(str).digest('hex');
}n/a
info = function (msg) {
// build argument list (level, msg, ... [string interpolate], [{metadata}], [callback])
var args = [level].concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments));
target.log.apply(target, args);
}...
### Using the Default Logger
The default logger is accessible through the winston module directly. Any method that you could call on an instance of a logger
is available on the default logger:
``` js
var winston = require('winston');
winston.log('info', 'Hello distributed log files!');
winston.info('Hello again distributed logs');
winston.level = 'debug';
winston.log('debug', 'Now my debug messages are written to console!');
```
By default, only the Console transport is set on the default logger. You can add or remove transports via the add() and remove()
methods:
...log = function () {
return defaultLogger[method].apply(defaultLogger, arguments);
}...
### Using the Default Logger
The default logger is accessible through the winston module directly. Any method that you could call on an instance of a logger
is available on the default logger:
``` js
var winston = require('winston');
winston.log('info', 'Hello distributed log files!');
winston.info('Hello again distributed logs');
winston.level = 'debug';
winston.log('debug', 'Now my debug messages are written to console!');
```
By default, only the Console transport is set on the default logger. You can add or remove transports via the add() and remove()
methods:
...longestElement = function (xs) {
return Math.max.apply(
null,
xs.map(function (x) { return x.length; })
);
}...
Object.keys(past).forEach(function (level) {
delete target[level];
});
}
target.levels = current || config.npm.levels;
if (target.padLevels) {
target.levelLength = exports.longestElement(Object.keys(target.levels));
}
//
// Define prototype methods for each log level
// e.g. target.log('info', msg) <=> target.info(msg)
//
Object.keys(target.levels).forEach(function (level) {
...profile = function () {
return defaultLogger[method].apply(defaultLogger, arguments);
}...
In addition to logging messages and metadata, winston also has a simple profiling mechanism implemented for any logger:
``` js
//
// Start profile of 'test'
// Remark: Consider using Date.now() with async operations
//
winston.profile('test');
setTimeout(function () {
//
// Stop profile of 'test'. Logging will now take place:
// "17 Jan 21:00:00 - info: test duration=1000ms"
//
winston.profile('test');
...query = function () {
return defaultLogger[method].apply(defaultLogger, arguments);
}...
order: 'desc',
fields: ['message']
};
//
// Find items logged between today and yesterday.
//
winston.query(options, function (err, results) {
if (err) {
throw err;
}
console.log(results);
});
```
...remove = function () {
return defaultLogger[method].apply(defaultLogger, arguments);
}...
winston.log('debug', 'Now my debug messages are written to console!');
```
By default, only the Console transport is set on the default logger. You can add or remove transports via the add() and remove()
methods:
``` js
winston.add(winston.transports.File, { filename: 'somefile.log' });
winston.remove(winston.transports.Console);
```
Or do it with one call to configure():
``` js
winston.configure({
transports: [
...setLevels = function (target) {
common.setLevels(winston, defaultLogger.levels, target);
defaultLogger.setLevels(target);
}...
As of 0.2.0, winston supports customizable logging levels, defaulting to [npm][0] style logging levels. Changing logging levels
is easy:
``` js
//
// Change levels on the default winston logger
//
winston.setLevels(winston.config.syslog.levels);
//
// Change levels on an instance of a logger
//
logger.setLevels(winston.config.syslog.levels);
```
...silly = function (msg) {
// build argument list (level, msg, ... [string interpolate], [{metadata}], [callback])
var args = [level].concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments));
target.log.apply(target, args);
}...
Calling `.setLevels` on a logger will remove all of the previous helper methods for the old levels and define helper methods for
the new levels. Thus, you should be careful about the logging statements you use when changing levels. For example, if you ran
this code after changing to the syslog levels:
``` js
//
// Logger does not have 'silly' defined since that level is not in the syslog levels
//
logger.silly('some silly message');
```
### Using Custom Logging Levels
In addition to the predefined `npm` and `syslog` levels available in Winston, you can also choose to define your own:
``` js
var myCustomLevels = {
...startTimer = function () {
return defaultLogger[method].apply(defaultLogger, arguments);
}...
};
//
// ### function startTimer ()
// Returns an object corresponding to a specific timing. When done
// is called the timer will finish and log the duration. e.g.:
//
// timer = winston.startTimer()
// setTimeout(function(){
// timer.done("Logging message");
// }, 1000);
//
Logger.prototype.startTimer = function () {
return new ProfileHandler(this);
};
...stream = function () {
return defaultLogger[method].apply(defaultLogger, arguments);
}...
## Streaming Logs
Streaming allows you to stream your logs back from your chosen transport.
``` js
//
// Start at the end.
//
winston.stream({ start: -1 }).on('log', function(log) {
console.log(log);
});
```

You can also wholesale reconfigure a `winston.Logger` instance using the `configure` method:
``` js
var logger = new winston.Logger({
level: 'info',
transports: [
new (winston.transports.Console)(),
new (winston.transports.File)({ filename: 'somefile.log' })
]
});
...function EventEmitter() {
EventEmitter.init.call(this);
}n/a
_getExceptionHandlers = function () {
var self = this;
return this._hnames.map(function (name) {
return self.exceptionHandlers[name];
}).concat(this._names.map(function (name) {
return self.transports[name].handleExceptions && self.transports[name];
})).filter(Boolean);
}...
// Logs all relevant information around the `err` and
// exits the current process.
//
Logger.prototype._uncaughtException = function (err) {
var self = this,
responded = false,
info = exception.getAllInfo(err),
handlers = this._getExceptionHandlers(),
timeout,
doExit;
//
// Calculate if we should exit on this error
//
doExit = typeof this.exitOnError === 'function'
..._onError = function (transport, err) {
if (this.emitErrs) {
this.emit('error', err, transport);
}
}n/a
_uncaughtException = function (err) {
var self = this,
responded = false,

handlers = this._getExceptionHandlers(),
timeout,
doExit;
//

//
doExit = typeof this.exitOnError === 'function'
? this.exitOnError(err)
: this.exitOnError;

process.exit(1);
}
}
if (!handlers || handlers.length === 0) {
return gracefulExit();
}
//
// Log to all transports and allow the operation to take
// only up to `3000ms`.
//
async.forEach(handlers, logAndWait, gracefulExit);
if (doExit) {
timeout = setTimeout(gracefulExit, 3000);
}
}n/a
add = function (transport, options, created) {
var instance = created ? transport : (new (transport)(options));
if (!instance.name && !instance.log) {
throw new Error('Unknown transport with no log() method');

//
// Listen for the `error` event on the new Transport
//
instance._onError = this._onError.bind(this, instance)
if (!created) {
instance.on('error', instance._onError);
}
//
// If this transport has `handleExceptions` set to `true`
// and we are not already handling exceptions, do so.
//
if (instance.handleExceptions && !this.catchExceptions) {
this.handleExceptions();
}
return this;
}...
winston.level = 'debug';
winston.log('debug', 'Now my debug messages are written to console!');
```
By default, only the Console transport is set on the default logger. You can add or remove transports via the add() and remove()
methods:
``` js
winston.add(winston.transports.File, { filename: 'somefile.log' });
winston.remove(winston.transports.Console);
```
Or do it with one call to configure():
``` js
winston.configure({
...clear = function () {
Object.keys(this.transports).forEach(function (name) {
this.remove({ name: name });
}, this);
}...
var self = this;
//
// If we have already been setup with transports
// then remove them before proceeding.
//
if (Array.isArray(this._names) && this._names.length) {
this.clear();
}
options = options || {};
this.transports = {};
this._names = [];
if (options.transports) {
...cli = function () {
this.padLevels = true;
this.setLevels(config.cli.levels);
config.addColors(config.cli.colors);
if (this.transports.console) {
this.transports.console.colorize = this.transports.console.colorize || true;
this.transports.console.timestamp = this.transports.console.timestamp || false;
}
return this;
}...
data: }
info: Analyzing dependencies...
info: Done analyzing raw dependencies
info: Retrieved packages from npm

```
Configuring output for this style is easy, just use the `.cli()` method on `winston`
or an instance of `winston.Logger`:
``` js
var winston = require('winston');
//
// Configure CLI output on the default logger
//
...close = function () {
var self = this;
this._names.forEach(function (name) {
var transport = self.transports[name];
if (transport && transport.close) {
transport.close();
}
});
this.emit('close');
}...
}
stream.destroy();
return;
}
(function read() {
if (stream.destroyed) {
fs.close(fd);
return;
}
return fs.read(fd, buffer, 0, buffer.length, pos, function(err, bytes) {
if (err) {
if (!callback) {
stream.emit('error', err);
...configure = function (options) {

this.stripColors = options.stripColors || false;
this.exitOnError = typeof options.exitOnError !== 'undefined'
? options.exitOnError
: true;
//
// Setup internal state as empty Objects even though it is
// defined lazily later to ensure a strong existential API contract.
//
this.exceptionHandlers = {};
this.profilers = {};
['rewriters', 'filters'].forEach(function (kind) {
self[kind] = Array.isArray(options[kind])
? options[kind]
: [];
});
if (options.exceptionHandlers) {
this.handleExceptions(options.exceptionHandlers);
}
}...
winston.add(winston.transports.File, { filename: 'somefile.log' });
winston.remove(winston.transports.Console);
```
Or do it with one call to configure():
``` js

## Exceptions
### Handling Uncaught Exceptions with winston
With `winston`, it is possible to catch and log `uncaughtException` events from your process. There are two distinct ways of enabling
this functionality either through the default winston logger or your own logger instance.
If you want to use this feature with the default logger simply call `.handleExceptions()` with a transport instance.
``` js
//
// You can add a separate exception logger by passing it to `.handleExceptions`
//
winston.handleExceptions(new winston.transports.File({ filename: 'path/to/exceptions.log' }))
...log = function (level) {
var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1),
self = this,
transports;
while (args[args.length - 1] === null) {
args.pop();
}
//
// Determining what is `meta` and what are arguments for string interpolation
// turns out to be VERY tricky. e.g. in the cases like this:
//
// logger.info('No interpolation symbols', 'ok', 'why', { meta: 'is-this' });
//
var callback = typeof args[args.length - 1] === 'function'
? args.pop()
: null;
//
// Handle errors appropriately.
//
function onError(err) {
if (callback) {
callback(err);
}
else if (self.emitErrs) {
self.emit('error', err);
}
}
if (this._names.length === 0) {
return onError(new Error('Cannot log with no transports.'));
}
else if (typeof self.levels[level] === 'undefined') {
return onError(new Error('Unknown log level: ' + level));
}
//
// If there are no transports that match the level
// then be eager and return. This could potentially be calculated
// during `setLevels` for more performance gains.
//
var targets = this._names.filter(function (name) {
var transport = self.transports[name];
return (transport.level && self.levels[transport.level] >= self.levels[level])
|| (!transport.level && self.levels[self.level] >= self.levels[level]);
});
if (!targets.length) {
if (callback) { callback(); }
return;
}
//
// Determining what is `meta` and what are arguments for string interpolation
// turns out to be VERY tricky. e.g. in the cases like this:
//
// logger.info('No interpolation symbols', 'ok', 'why', { meta: 'is-this' });
//
var msg, meta = {}, validMeta = false;
var hasFormat = args && args[0] && args[0].match && args[0].match(formatRegExp) !== null;
var tokens = (hasFormat) ? args[0].match(formatRegExp) : [];
var ptokens = tokens.filter(function(t) { return t === '%%' });
if (((args.length - 1) - (tokens.length - ptokens.length)) > 0 || args.length === 1) {
// last arg is meta
meta = args[args.length - 1] || args;
var metaType = Object.prototype.toString.call(meta);
validMeta = metaType === '[object Object]' ||
metaType === '[object Error]' || metaType === '[object Array]';
meta = validMeta ? args.pop() : {};
}
msg = util.format.apply(null, args);
//
// Respond to the callback.
//
function finish(err) {
if (callback) {
if (err) return callback(err);
callback(null, level, msg, meta);
}
callback = null;
if (!err) {
self.emit('logged', level, msg, meta);
}
}
// If we should pad for levels, do so
if (this.padLevels) {
msg = new Array(this.levelLength - level.length + 1).join(' ') + msg;
}
this.rewriters.forEach(function (rewriter) {
meta = rewriter(level, msg, meta, self);
});
this.filters.forEach(function(filter) {
var filtered = filter(level, msg, meta, self);
if (typeof filtered === 'string')
msg = filtered;
else {
msg = filtered.msg;
meta = filtered.meta;
}
});
//
// For consideration of terminal 'color" programs like colors.js,
// which can add ANSI escape color codes to strings, we destyle the
// ANSI color escape codes when `this.stripColors` is set.
//
// see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code
//
if (this.stripColors) {
var code = /\u001b\[(\d+(;\d+)*)?m/g;
msg = ('' + msg).replace(code, '');
}
//
// Log for each transport and emit 'logging' event
//
function transportLog(name, next) {
var transport = self.transports[name];
transport.log(level, msg, meta, function (err) {
if (err) {
err.transport = transport;
finish(err);
return next();
}
self.emit('logging', transport, level, msg, meta);
next();
});
}
async.forEach(targets, transportLog, finish);
return this;
}...
### Using the Default Logger
The default logger is accessible through the winston module directly. Any method that you could call on an instance of a logger
is available on the default logger:
``` js
var winston = require('winston');
winston.log('info', 'Hello distributed log files!');
winston.info('Hello again distributed logs');
winston.level = 'debug';
winston.log('debug', 'Now my debug messages are written to console!');
```
By default, only the Console transport is set on the default logger. You can add or remove transports via the add() and remove()
methods:
...profile = function (id) {
var now = Date.now(), then, args,
msg, meta, callback;
if (this.profilers[id]) {
then = this.profilers[id];
delete this.profilers[id];
// Support variable arguments: msg, meta, callback
args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
callback = typeof args[args.length - 1] === 'function' ? args.pop() : null;
meta = typeof args[args.length - 1] === 'object' ? args.pop() : {};
msg = args.length === 2 ? args[1] : id;
// Set the duration property of the metadata
meta.durationMs = now - then;
return this.info(msg, meta, callback);
}
else {
this.profilers[id] = now;
}
return this;
}...
In addition to logging messages and metadata, winston also has a simple profiling mechanism implemented for any logger:
``` js
//
// Start profile of 'test'
// Remark: Consider using Date.now() with async operations
//
winston.profile('test');
setTimeout(function () {
//
// Stop profile of 'test'. Logging will now take place:
// "17 Jan 21:00:00 - info: test duration=1000ms"
//
winston.profile('test');
...query = function (options, callback) {
if (typeof options === 'function') {
callback = options;
options = {};
}
var self = this,
options = options || {},
results = {},
query = common.clone(options.query) || {},
transports;
//
// Helper function to query a single transport
//
function queryTransport(transport, next) {
if (options.query) {
options.query = transport.formatQuery(query);
}
transport.query(options, function (err, results) {
if (err) {
return next(err);
}
next(null, transport.formatResults(results, options.format));
});
}
//
// Helper function to accumulate the results from
// `queryTransport` into the `results`.
//
function addResults(transport, next) {
queryTransport(transport, function (err, result) {
//
// queryTransport could potentially invoke the callback
// multiple times since Transport code can be unpredictable.
//
if (next) {
result = err || result;
if (result) {
results[transport.name] = result;
}
next();
}
next = null;
});
}
//
// If an explicit transport is being queried then
// respond with the results from only that transport
//
if (options.transport) {
options.transport = options.transport.toLowerCase();
return queryTransport(this.transports[options.transport], callback);
}
//
// Create a list of all transports for this instance.
//
transports = this._names.map(function (name) {
return self.transports[name];
}).filter(function (transport) {
return !!transport.query;
});
//
// Iterate over the transports in parallel setting the
// appropriate key in the `results`
//
async.forEach(transports, addResults, function () {
callback(null, results);
});
}...
order: 'desc',
fields: ['message']
};
//
// Find items logged between today and yesterday.
//
winston.query(options, function (err, results) {
if (err) {
throw err;
}
console.log(results);
});
```
...remove = function (transport) {
var name = typeof transport !== 'string'
? transport.name || transport.prototype.name
: transport;
if (!this.transports[name]) {
throw new Error('Transport ' + name + ' not attached to this instance');
}
var instance = this.transports[name];
delete this.transports[name];
this._names = Object.keys(this.transports);
if (instance.close) {
instance.close();
}
if (instance._onError) {
instance.removeListener('error', instance._onError);
}
return this;
}...
winston.log('debug', 'Now my debug messages are written to console!');
```
By default, only the Console transport is set on the default logger. You can add or remove transports via the add() and remove()
methods:
``` js
winston.add(winston.transports.File, { filename: 'somefile.log' });
winston.remove(winston.transports.Console);
```
Or do it with one call to configure():
``` js
winston.configure({
transports: [
...setLevels = function (target) {
return common.setLevels(this, this.levels, target);
}...
As of 0.2.0, winston supports customizable logging levels, defaulting to [npm][0] style logging levels. Changing logging levels
is easy:
``` js
//
// Change levels on the default winston logger
//
winston.setLevels(winston.config.syslog.levels);
//
// Change levels on an instance of a logger
//
logger.setLevels(winston.config.syslog.levels);
```
...startTimer = function () {
return new ProfileHandler(this);
}...
};
//
// ### function startTimer ()
// Returns an object corresponding to a specific timing. When done
// is called the timer will finish and log the duration. e.g.:
//
// timer = winston.startTimer()
// setTimeout(function(){
// timer.done("Logging message");
// }, 1000);
//
Logger.prototype.startTimer = function () {
return new ProfileHandler(this);
};
...stream = function (options) {
var self = this,
options = options || {},
out = new Stream,
streams = [],
transports;
if (options.transport) {
var transport = this.transports[options.transport];
delete options.transport;
if (transport && transport.stream) {
return transport.stream(options);
}
}
out._streams = streams;
out.destroy = function () {
var i = streams.length;
while (i--) streams[i].destroy();
};
//
// Create a list of all transports for this instance.
//
transports = this._names.map(function (name) {
return self.transports[name];
}).filter(function (transport) {
return !!transport.stream;
});
transports.forEach(function (transport) {
var stream = transport.stream(options);
if (!stream) return;
streams.push(stream);
stream.on('log', function (log) {
log.transport = log.transport || [];
log.transport.push(transport.name);
out.emit('log', log);
});
stream.on('error', function (err) {
err.transport = err.transport || [];
err.transport.push(transport.name);
out.emit('error', err);
});
});
return out;
}...
## Streaming Logs
Streaming allows you to stream your logs back from your chosen transport.
``` js
//
// Start at the end.
//
winston.stream({ start: -1 }).on('log', function(log) {
console.log(log);
});
```

### Using the Default Logger
The default logger is accessible through the winston module directly. Any method that you could call on an instance of a logger
is available on the default logger:
``` js
var winston = require('winston');
winston.log('info', 'Hello distributed log files!');
winston.info('Hello again distributed logs');
winston.level = 'debug';
winston.log('debug', 'Now my debug messages are written to console!');
```
By default, only the Console transport is set on the default logger. You can add or remove transports via the add() and remove()
methods:
...longestElement = function (xs) {
return Math.max.apply(
null,
xs.map(function (x) { return x.length; })
);
}...
Object.keys(past).forEach(function (level) {
delete target[level];
});
}
target.levels = current || config.npm.levels;
if (target.padLevels) {
target.levelLength = exports.longestElement(Object.keys(target.levels));
}
//
// Define prototype methods for each log level
// e.g. target.log('info', msg) <=> target.info(msg)
//
Object.keys(target.levels).forEach(function (level) {
...pad = function (n) {
return n < 10 ? '0' + n.toString(10) : n.toString(10);
}n/a
serialize = function (obj, key) {
// symbols cannot be directly casted to strings
if (typeof key === 'symbol') {
key = key.toString()
}
if (typeof obj === 'symbol') {
obj = obj.toString()
}
if (obj === null) {
obj = 'null';
}
else if (obj === undefined) {
obj = 'undefined';
}
else if (obj === false) {
obj = 'false';
}
if (typeof obj !== 'object') {
return key ? key + '=' + obj : obj;
}
if (obj instanceof Buffer) {
return key ? key + '=' + obj.toString('base64') : obj.toString('base64');
}
var msg = '',
keys = Object.keys(obj),
length = keys.length;
for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
if (Array.isArray(obj[keys[i]])) {
msg += keys[i] + '=[';
for (var j = 0, l = obj[keys[i]].length; j < l; j++) {
msg += exports.serialize(obj[keys[i]][j]);
if (j < l - 1) {
msg += ', ';
}
}

}
else if (obj[keys[i]] instanceof Date) {

}
else {

}

});
}

};
});
return target;
}...
As of 0.2.0, winston supports customizable logging levels, defaulting to [npm][0] style logging levels. Changing logging levels
is easy:
``` js
//
// Change levels on the default winston logger
//
winston.setLevels(winston.config.syslog.levels);
//
// Change levels on an instance of a logger
//
logger.setLevels(winston.config.syslog.levels);
```
...stringArrayToSet = function (strArray, errMsg) {
if (typeof errMsg === 'undefined') {
errMsg = 'Cannot make set from Array with non-string elements';
}
return strArray.reduce(function (set, el) {
if (!(typeof el === 'string' || el instanceof String)) {
throw new Error(errMsg);
}
set[el] = true;
return set;
}, Object.create(null));

...addColors = function (colors) {
mixin(allColors, colors);
}...
Although there is slight repetition in this data structure, it enables simple encapsulation if you do not want to have colors. If
you do wish to have colors, in addition to passing the levels to the Logger itself, you must make winston aware of them:
``` js
//
// Make winston aware of these colors
//
winston.addColors(myCustomLevels.colors);
```
This enables transports with the 'colorize' option set to appropriately color the output of custom levels.

### Using the Default Logger
The default logger is accessible through the winston module directly. Any method that you could call on an instance of a logger
is available on the default logger:
``` js
var winston = require('winston');
winston.log('info', 'Hello distributed log files!');
winston.info('Hello again distributed logs');
winston.level = 'debug';
winston.log('debug', 'Now my debug messages are written to console!');
```
By default, only the Console transport is set on the default logger. You can add or remove transports via the add() and remove()
methods:
...open = function (callback) {
if (this.opening) {
//
// If we are already attempting to open the next
// available file then respond with a value indicating
// that the message should be buffered.
//
return callback(true);
}
else if (!this._stream || (this.maxsize && this._size >= this.maxsize)) {
//
// If we dont have a stream or have exceeded our size, then create
// the next stream and respond with a value indicating that
// the message should be buffered.
//
callback(true);
return this._createStream();
}
this._archive = this.zippedArchive ? this._stream.path : null;
//
// Otherwise we have a valid (and ready) stream.
//

### Using the Default Logger

is available on the default logger:
``` js
var winston = require('winston');
winston.log('info', 'Hello distributed log files!');
winston.info('Hello again distributed logs');
winston.level = 'debug';
winston.log('debug', 'Now my debug messages are written to console!');
```
By default, only the Console transport is set on the default logger. You can add or remove transports via the add() and remove()
methods:
...Container = function (options) {
this.loggers = {};
this.options = options || {};
this.default = {
transports: [
new winston.transports.Console({
level: 'silly',
colorize: false
})
]
}
}...
category1.info('logging from your IoC container-based logger');
```
If you prefer to manage the `Container` yourself you can simply instantiate one:
``` js
var winston = require('winston'),
container = new winston.Container();
container.add('category1', {
console: {
level: 'silly',
colorize: true
},
file: {
...Logger = function (options) {
events.EventEmitter.call(this);
this.configure(options);
}...
.add(winston.transports.File)
.remove(winston.transports.Console);
```
You can also wholesale reconfigure a `winston.Logger` instance using the `configure` method:
``` js
var logger = new winston.Logger({
level: 'info',
transports: [
new (winston.transports.Console)(),
new (winston.transports.File)({ filename: 'somefile.log' })
]
});
...Transport = function (options) {
events.EventEmitter.call(this);
options = options || {};
this.silent = options.silent || false;
this.raw = options.raw || false;
this.name = options.name || this.name;
this.formatter = options.formatter;
//
// Do not set a default level. When `level` is falsey on any
// `Transport` instance, any `Logger` instance uses the
// configured level (instead of the Transport level)
//
this.level = options.level;
this.handleExceptions = options.handleExceptions || false;
this.exceptionsLevel = options.exceptionsLevel || 'error';
this.humanReadableUnhandledException = options.humanReadableUnhandledException || false;
}n/a
add = function () {
return defaultLogger[method].apply(defaultLogger, arguments);
}...
winston.level = 'debug';
winston.log('debug', 'Now my debug messages are written to console!');
```
By default, only the Console transport is set on the default logger. You can add or remove transports via the add() and remove()
methods:
``` js
winston.add(winston.transports.File, { filename: 'somefile.log' });
winston.remove(winston.transports.Console);
```
Or do it with one call to configure():
``` js
winston.configure({
...addColors = function (colors) {
mixin(allColors, colors);
}...
Although there is slight repetition in this data structure, it enables simple encapsulation if you do not want to have colors. If
you do wish to have colors, in addition to passing the levels to the Logger itself, you must make winston aware of them:
``` js
//
// Make winston aware of these colors
//
winston.addColors(myCustomLevels.colors);
```
This enables transports with the 'colorize' option set to appropriately color the output of custom levels.

// build argument list (level, msg, ... [string interpolate], [{metadata}], [callback])
var args = [level].concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments));

As of 0.2.0, winston supports customizable logging levels, defaulting to [npm][0] style logging levels. Changing logging levels
is easy:
...error = function (msg) {
// build argument list (level, msg, ... [string interpolate], [{metadata}], [callback])
var args = [level].concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments));
target.log.apply(target, args);
}...
logger.log('debug', "127.0.0.1 - there's no place like home");
logger.log('verbose', "127.0.0.1 - there's no place like home");
logger.log('info', "127.0.0.1 - there's no place like home");
logger.log('warn', "127.0.0.1 - there's no place like home");
logger.log('error', "127.0.0.1 - there's no place like home");
logger.info("127.0.0.1 - there's no place like home");
logger.warn("127.0.0.1 - there's no place like home");
logger.error("127.0.0.1 - there's no place like home");
//
// Default logger
//
winston.log('info', "127.0.0.1 - there's no place like home");
winston.info("127.0.0.1 - there's no place like home");

}...
## Exceptions
### Handling Uncaught Exceptions with winston
With `winston`, it is possible to catch and log `uncaughtException` events from your process. There are two distinct ways of enabling
this functionality either through the default winston logger or your own logger instance.
If you want to use this feature with the default logger simply call `.handleExceptions()` with a transport instance.
``` js
//
// You can add a separate exception logger by passing it to `.handleExceptions`
//
winston.handleExceptions(new winston.transports.File({ filename: 'path/to/exceptions.log' }))
...hash = function (str) {
return crypto.createHash('sha1').update(str).digest('hex');
}n/a
info = function (msg) {
// build argument list (level, msg, ... [string interpolate], [{metadata}], [callback])
var args = [level].concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments));
target.log.apply(target, args);
}...
### Using the Default Logger
The default logger is accessible through the winston module directly. Any method that you could call on an instance of a logger
is available on the default logger:
``` js
var winston = require('winston');
winston.log('info', 'Hello distributed log files!');
winston.info('Hello again distributed logs');
winston.level = 'debug';
winston.log('debug', 'Now my debug messages are written to console!');
```
By default, only the Console transport is set on the default logger. You can add or remove transports via the add() and remove()
methods:
...log = function () {
return defaultLogger[method].apply(defaultLogger, arguments);
}...
### Using the Default Logger
The default logger is accessible through the winston module directly. Any method that you could call on an instance of a logger
is available on the default logger:
``` js
var winston = require('winston');
winston.log('info', 'Hello distributed log files!');
winston.info('Hello again distributed logs');
winston.level = 'debug';
winston.log('debug', 'Now my debug messages are written to console!');
```
By default, only the Console transport is set on the default logger. You can add or remove transports via the add() and remove()
methods:
...longestElement = function (xs) {
return Math.max.apply(
null,
xs.map(function (x) { return x.length; })
);
}...
Object.keys(past).forEach(function (level) {
delete target[level];
});
}
target.levels = current || config.npm.levels;
if (target.padLevels) {
target.levelLength = exports.longestElement(Object.keys(target.levels));
}
//
// Define prototype methods for each log level
// e.g. target.log('info', msg) <=> target.info(msg)
//
Object.keys(target.levels).forEach(function (level) {
...profile = function () {
return defaultLogger[method].apply(defaultLogger, arguments);
}...
In addition to logging messages and metadata, winston also has a simple profiling mechanism implemented for any logger:
``` js
//
// Start profile of 'test'
// Remark: Consider using Date.now() with async operations
//
winston.profile('test');
setTimeout(function () {
//
// Stop profile of 'test'. Logging will now take place:
// "17 Jan 21:00:00 - info: test duration=1000ms"
//
winston.profile('test');
...query = function () {
return defaultLogger[method].apply(defaultLogger, arguments);
}...
order: 'desc',
fields: ['message']
};
//
// Find items logged between today and yesterday.
//
winston.query(options, function (err, results) {
if (err) {
throw err;
}
console.log(results);
});
```
...remove = function () {
return defaultLogger[method].apply(defaultLogger, arguments);
}...
winston.log('debug', 'Now my debug messages are written to console!');
```
By default, only the Console transport is set on the default logger. You can add or remove transports via the add() and remove()
methods:
``` js
winston.add(winston.transports.File, { filename: 'somefile.log' });
winston.remove(winston.transports.Console);
```
Or do it with one call to configure():
``` js
winston.configure({
transports: [
...setLevels = function (target) {
common.setLevels(winston, defaultLogger.levels, target);
defaultLogger.setLevels(target);
}...
As of 0.2.0, winston supports customizable logging levels, defaulting to [npm][0] style logging levels. Changing logging levels
is easy:
``` js
//
// Change levels on the default winston logger
//
winston.setLevels(winston.config.syslog.levels);
//
// Change levels on an instance of a logger
//
logger.setLevels(winston.config.syslog.levels);
```
...silly = function (msg) {
// build argument list (level, msg, ... [string interpolate], [{metadata}], [callback])
var args = [level].concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments));
target.log.apply(target, args);
}...
Calling `.setLevels` on a logger will remove all of the previous helper methods for the old levels and define helper methods for
the new levels. Thus, you should be careful about the logging statements you use when changing levels. For example, if you ran
this code after changing to the syslog levels:
``` js
//
// Logger does not have 'silly' defined since that level is not in the syslog levels
//
logger.silly('some silly message');
```
### Using Custom Logging Levels
In addition to the predefined `npm` and `syslog` levels available in Winston, you can also choose to define your own:
``` js
var myCustomLevels = {
...startTimer = function () {
return defaultLogger[method].apply(defaultLogger, arguments);
}...
};
//
// ### function startTimer ()
// Returns an object corresponding to a specific timing. When done
// is called the timer will finish and log the duration. e.g.:
//
// timer = winston.startTimer()
// setTimeout(function(){
// timer.done("Logging message");
// }, 1000);
//
Logger.prototype.startTimer = function () {
return new ProfileHandler(this);
};
...stream = function () {
return defaultLogger[method].apply(defaultLogger, arguments);
}...
## Streaming Logs
Streaming allows you to stream your logs back from your chosen transport.
``` js
//
// Start at the end.
//
winston.stream({ start: -1 }).on('log', function(log) {
console.log(log);
});
```
