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 🙏

log4js-cloudwatch-appender

Simple appender for log4js to submit logs to AWS cloudwatch based on the lawgs module.

Installation

This module is installed via npm:

npm install --save log4js-cloudwatch-appender

Usage

Add aws appender to the log4js config file:

const config = {
    appenders: {
        aws: {
              type: "log4js-cloudwatch-appender",
              accessKeyId: '<accessKeyId>',
              secretAccessKey: '<secretAccessKey>',
              region: 'eu-central-1',
              logGroup: 'prod',
              logStream: 'apps',
              layout: '<custom layout object>',
              lawgsConfig: '<optional alwgs config object>'
            }
    },
    categories: {
        default: {appenders: ['aws'], level: 'info'}
    }
}

This will cause logs to be sent to AWS CloudWatch with the specified group and stream.

Configuration

If you are using roles, you will need the following roles:

  • logs:DescribeLogGroups
  • logs:DescribeLogStreams
  • logs:CreateLogGroup
  • logs:CreateLogStream
  • logs:PutLogEvents

mandatory

  • region - The CloudWatch region
  • logGroup - The log group to send the metrics to
  • logStream - The log stream of the group to send the metrics to

optional

  • accessKeyId - Optional if credentials are set in ~/.aws/credentials
  • secretAccessKey - Optional if credentials are set in ~/.aws/credentials
  • layout - Custom layout. See suggested layout
  • lawgsConfig - Optional vonfig object for lawgs:
    • showDebugLogs - Show debug logs. Default: false.
    • uploadMaxTimer - After this ms timeout, flush to server. Default: 5000.
    • uploadBatchSize - After this amount of logs, flush to server. Default: 500.

Suggested json layout

Logs are easier to query whn they are formatted as json. Following is a suggested json layout to set for this appender. The logging style should be:

const uuid = require('node-uuid');
const corr = uuid.v4();
const logger = logFactory.getLogger('category');

logger.info(corr, 'methodName()','part1','part2');

Which will output:

{
  "timestamp": "2017-06-10T11:55:38.251Z",
  "corr": "2e2c99aa-7eee-4fd2-ae36-cd9dc9533816",
  "app": "<appName>",
  "host": "<ip>",
  "pid": 24532,
  "level": "INFO",
  "category": "category",
  "method": "methodName()",
  "message": "part1 part2"
}

The layout:

const util = require('util');
const _ = require('underscore');

let processName = path.basename(process.argv[1]);
processName = processName.substring(0, processName.length - 3);

const publicIp = require('public-ip').v4;
let ip = '';
publicIp()
  .then(function (_ip) {
    ip = _ip;
  })
  .catch(function (e) {
    console.log(e);
    ip = 'unknown';
  });

const jsonLayout = {
  "type": "pattern",
  "pattern": '{"timestamp": "%d{yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss.SSSZ}", "app": "' + processName + '", "ip": "%x{my_ip}", "host": "%h", "pid": %z, "level": "%p", "category": "%c"%x{corr}%x{method}, "message": "%x{message}"}',
  "tokens": {
    "my_ip": function () {
      return ip;
    },
   "corr": function (logEvent) {
      logEvent.__data__ = _.map(logEvent.data, _.clone);
      if (logEvent.__data__) {
        let corr = logEvent.__data__[0];
        if (Array.isArray(corr) && corr.length === 2) {
          corr = corr[0];
          if (typeof corr === 'string' && corr.length === 36 && corr.split("-").length === 5) {
            logEvent.__data__[0] = logEvent.__data__[0][1];
            return ', "corr": "' + corr + '"';
          }
        }
        if (logEvent.__data__.length > 1 && corr && typeof corr === 'string' && corr.length === 36 && corr.split("-").length === 5) {
          logEvent.__data__.shift();
          return ', "corr": "' + corr + '"';
        }
      }
      return '';
    },
    "method": function (logEvent) {
      if (logEvent.__data__) {
        const method = logEvent.__data__[0];
        if (logEvent.__data__.length > 1 && method && typeof method === 'string' && method.indexOf("()", method.length - 2) !== -1) {
          logEvent.__data__.shift();
          return ', "method": "' + method + '"';
        }
      }
      return '';
    },
    "message": function (logEvent) {
      if (logEvent.__data__) {
        let data = logEvent.__data__;
        data = util.format.apply(util, wrapErrorsWithInspect(data));
        data = escapedStringify(data);
        logEvent.__data__ = undefined;
        return data;
      }
      return '';
    }
  }
};

function wrapErrorsWithInspect(items) {
  return items.map(function (item) {
    if ((item instanceof Error) && item.stack) {
      return {
        inspect: function () {
          return util.format(item) + '\n' + item.stack;
        }
      };
    } else {
      return item;
    }
  });
}

function escapedStringify(json) {
  return json
    .replace(/[\\]/g, '\\\\')
    .replace(/[\"]/g, '\\\"')
    .replace(/[\/]/g, '\\/')
    .replace(/[\b]/g, '\\b')
    .replace(/[\f]/g, '\\f')
    .replace(/[\n]/g, '\\n')
    .replace(/[\r]/g, '\\r')
    .replace(/[\t]/g, '\\t');
