RabbitMQ Appender for Log4JS

Push log events to a Rabbitmq MQ. Require log4js-node 2.x or later.

npm install @log4js-node/rabbitmq

If you want to be sure that all messages have been sent before your programme exits, remember to call log4js.shutdown(<callback function>).

Configuration

• type - @log4js-ndoe/rabbitmq
• host - string (optional, defaults to 127.0.0.1) - the location of the rabbitmq server
• port - integer (optional, defaults to 5672) - the port the rabbitmq server is listening on
• username - string (optional, defaults to guest) - username to use when authenticating connection to rabbitmq
• password - string (optional, defaults to guest) - password to use when authenticating connection to rabbitmq
• routing_key - string (optional, defaults to logstash) - rabbitmq message's routing_key
• durable - string (optional, defaults to false) - will that RabbitMQ lose our queue.
• exchange - string (optional, defaults to log)- rabbitmq send message's exchange
• mq_type - string (optional, defaults to direct) - rabbitmq message's mq_type
• vhost - string (optional, defaults to /) - vhost to use
• layout - object (optional, defaults to messagePassThroughLayout) - the layout to use for log events (see layouts).
• shutdownTimeout - integer (optional, defaults to 10000) - maximum time in milliseconds to wait for messages to be sent during log4js shutdown.

The appender will use the RabbitMQ Routing model command to send the log event messages to the channel.

Example

log4js.configure({
  appenders: {
    mq: {
      type: '@log4js-node/rabbitmq',
      host: '127.0.0.1',
      port: 5672,
      username: 'guest',
      password: 'guest',
      routing_key: 'logstash',
      exchange: 'exchange_logs',
      mq_type: 'direct',
      durable: true
    }
  },
  categories: { default: { appenders: ['mq'], level: 'info' } }
});

This configuration will push log messages to the rabbitmq on 127.0.0.1:5672.
