Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

� Retrieving Logs from S3

LogStack provides multiple ways to download and retrieve logs stored in S3:

1. Using Built-in S3 Functions

const {
  downloadFromS3,
  listS3Files,
  getFileDetails,
  searchFiles,
} = require("log-archiver");

// Download specific file from S3
const fileContent = await downloadFromS3("logs/2025-09-05/14-15.json.gz");
console.log("Downloaded logs:", JSON.parse(fileContent));

// List all files in S3 bucket
const files = await listS3Files({
  prefix: "logs/2025-09-05/", // Optional: filter by date
  maxKeys: 100, // Optional: limit results
});

console.log("Available files:", files);

// Get file details and metadata
const fileDetails = await getFileDetails("logs/2025-09-05/14-15.json.gz");
console.log("File info:", fileDetails);

2. Search and Filter S3 Files

const { searchFiles, initializeFileSearch } = require("log-archiver");

// Initialize file search (call once)
await initializeFileSearch();

// Search files by date range
const dateRangeFiles = await searchFiles({
  startDate: "2025-09-01",
  endDate: "2025-09-05",
  limit: 50,
});

// Search files by service
const serviceFiles = await searchFiles({
  service: "user-service",
  limit: 20,
});

// Search by file size
const largeFiles = await searchFiles({
  minSize: 1024 * 1024, // Files larger than 1MB
  maxSize: 10 * 1024 * 1024, // Files smaller than 10MB
});

console.log("Search results:", dateRangeFiles);

3. Download with Automatic Decompression

const { downloadFromS3 } = require("log-archiver");

// Download and automatically decompress gzipped files
const compressedFile = await downloadFromS3("logs/2025-09-05/14-15.json.gz", {
  decompress: true, // Automatically decompress
  format: "json", // Parse as JSON
});

console.log("Decompressed logs:", compressedFile);

// Download multiple files
const files = ["14-15.json.gz", "15-16.json.gz", "16-17.json.gz"];
const downloadedFiles = await Promise.all(
  files.map((file) =>
    downloadFromS3(`logs/2025-09-05/${file}`, { decompress: true })
  )
);

5. Batch Download with Progress Tracking

const { downloadFromS3, listS3Files } = require("log-archiver");

async function downloadDateRange(startDate, endDate) {
  console.log(`📥 Downloading logs from ${startDate} to ${endDate}`);

  // Get all files in date range
  const files = await listS3Files({
    prefix: "logs/",
    startAfter: `logs/${startDate}/`,
    endBefore: `logs/${endDate}/`,
  });

  console.log(`Found ${files.length} files to download`);

  const downloadedLogs = [];

  for (let i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
    const file = files[i];
    const progress = (((i + 1) / files.length) * 100).toFixed(1);

    console.log(`⏳ Downloading ${file.Key} (${progress}%)`);

    try {
      const content = await downloadFromS3(file.Key, { decompress: true });
      downloadedLogs.push({
        file: file.Key,
        size: file.Size,
        data: content,
        downloadedAt: new Date(),
      });

      console.log(`✅ Downloaded ${file.Key}`);
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(`❌ Failed to download ${file.Key}:`, error.message);
    }
  }

  console.log(`🎉 Downloaded ${downloadedLogs.length}/${files.length} files`);
  return downloadedLogs;
}

// Usage
downloadDateRange("2025-09-01", "2025-09-05").then((logs) => {
  console.log("All logs downloaded:", logs.length);
});

6. Real-time Log Streaming from S3

const { downloadFromS3 } = require("log-archiver");

// Stream logs in real-time as they're created
async function streamRecentLogs() {
  const today = new Date().toISOString().split("T")[0];
  const currentHour = new Date().getHours();

  // Download logs from last few hours
  for (let h = Math.max(0, currentHour - 3); h <= currentHour; h++) {
    const hourRange = `${h.toString().padStart(2, "0")}-${(h + 1)
      .toString()
      .padStart(2, "0")}`;
    const fileName = `logs/${today}/${hourRange}.json.gz`;

    try {
      const logs = await downloadFromS3(fileName, { decompress: true });

      console.log(`📊 Logs for ${hourRange}:`, logs);

      // Process logs in real-time
      if (logs && logs.length > 0) {
        logs.forEach((log) => {
          if (log.level === "error") {
            console.error(`🚨 Error detected: ${log.message}`);
          }
        });
      }
    } catch (error) {
      console.log(`⏳ No logs yet for ${hourRange}`);
    }
  }
}

// Run every 5 minutes
setInterval(streamRecentLogs, 5 * 60 * 1000);

🔍 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. S3 Connection Issues

// Check your AWS credentials
console.log(
  "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID:",
  process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID?.substring(0, 4) + "***"
);
console.log("AWS_REGION:", process.env.AWS_REGION);
console.log("S3_BUCKET:", process.env.S3_BUCKET);

// Test S3 connection
const { testS3Connection } = require("log-archiver");
await testS3Connection();

2. Database Connection Issues

// Check MongoDB connection
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
mongoose.connection.on("connected", () => {
  console.log("✅ MongoDB connected");
});
mongoose.connection.on("error", (err) => {
  console.error("❌ MongoDB error:", err);
});

3. Cron Jobs Not Running

// Check cron job status
const { getCronStatus } = require("log-archiver");
const status = await getCronStatus();
console.log("Cron jobs status:", status);

Error Codes

| Code | Message | Solution | | -------------- | -------------------------- | --------------------------------- | | LOGSTACK_001 | S3 bucket not found | Check bucket name and permissions | | LOGSTACK_002 | Database connection failed | Verify MongoDB URI | | LOGSTACK_003 | Invalid configuration | Check config object | | LOGSTACK_004 | Cron job failed | Check logs for specific error |
