winston-winlog2

This project is no longer maintained

Windows Event Log logger for the node.js Winston module.

Exactly like the original winston-winlog, however uses coreybutler/node-windows instead of jfromaniello/windowseventlogjs so no native compiling using node-gyp is required. Also automatically pops up a UAC box if admin permissions are required.

Installation

$ npm install winston-winlog2
$ npm install winston

Usage

Configure :

  var winston = require('winston'),
      winlog = require("winston-winlog2");

  winston.add(winlog, { source: 'myapp' });

Then you can do:

  winston.info("this is an info message");
  winston.warning("this is an warning message");
  winston.error("this is an error message");

And you will see

Custom event log

When adding the transport you can define a custom event log as follows:

  winston.add(winlog, { source: 'myapp', eventLog: 'MyCustomEventLog' });

Then you will find your logs under "Applications and Services Logs"

How it works

This transport uses the module node-windows to log events.

The transport will do nothing (doesn't throw!) if you run it on a platform other than win32.
