Re: Intel - nodejs logging that plays nice with console.log
#12In case anyone is looking for a debug utility, not for archival logs, look no further than http://github.com/visionmedia/debug. Named loggers, nice formatting, easy to use and you get timers for free:
require('debug')('controllers:something')
debug('doing stuff', someObj)
DEBUG=controllers:* node index.js

I plan to make a RotatingFile handler, but at the same time, what's wrong with Unix logrotate?

#14I wouldn't exactly call Python's logging module glorious. Its API is unintuitive and foreign (lifted from Java), any customisation requires subclassing and it destroys performance on PyPy (because of the constant use of sys.exc_info().

We use winston-filerotatedate for winston logrotation.

Why is your logging library handling log rotation? Also, not everyone logs to disk straight from process or at all.
Re: Intel - nodejs logging that plays nice with console.log
#18Name is definitely going to be confusing. I completely expected this to be something Intel was doing nodejs related.
The name is going to be forced to change, the OP should just rename it now while it's not an issue.

It's used in conjunction with logrotate.
Long-running programs will happily continue using the same file handle until they are signaled in some way to reopen the file path (usually in response to USR1 and HUP). See Nginx, Apache httpd, MongoDB, etc.

#20I'd like to use this on some of my projects but I know the dev is going to receive a cease & desist from Intel sooner rather than later, breaking dependencies.
OP - could you rename the library to make us all feel a little bit better about using it?
