Defined in:

Overview

TCP log appender.

Log to a server over a TCP Socket. By default messages are in JSON format.

Features:

  • JSON Formatted messages.

  • SSL encryption.

  • Transparently reconnect when a connection is lost.

Example:

SemanticLogger.add_appender(
  appender: :tcp,
  server:   'server:3300',
)

Example, with connection retry options:

SemanticLogger.add_appender(
  appender:               :tcp,
  server:                 'server:3300',
  connect_retry_interval: 0.1,
  connect_retry_count:    5
)

Example, with SSL enabled:

SemanticLogger.add_appender(
  appender: :tcp,
  server:   'server:3300',
  ssl:      true
)

#initialize(separator: "\n", level: nil, formatter: nil, filter: nil, application: nil, host: nil, metrics: false, **tcp_client_args, &block) ⇒ Tcp

Create TCP log appender.

Net::TCPClient Parameters:

:server [String]
  URL of the server to connect to with port number
  'localhost:2000'
  '192.168.1.10:80'

:servers [Array of String]
  Array of URL's of servers to connect to with port numbers
  ['server1:2000', 'server2:2000']

  The second server will only be attempted once the first server
  cannot be connected to or has timed out on connect
  A read failure or timeout will not result in switching to the second
  server, only a connection failure or during an automatic reconnect

:connect_timeout [Float]
  Time in seconds to timeout when trying to connect to the server
  A value of -1 will cause the connect wait time to be infinite
  Default: Half of the :read_timeout ( 30 seconds )

:read_timeout [Float]
  Time in seconds to timeout on read
  Can be overridden by supplying a timeout in the read call
  Default: 60

:write_timeout [Float]
  Time in seconds to timeout on write
  Can be overridden by supplying a timeout in the write call
  Default: 60

:log_level [Symbol]
  Optional: Set the logging level for the TCPClient
  Any valid SemanticLogger log level:
    :trace, :debug, :info, :warn, :error, :fatal
  Default: SemanticLogger.default_level

:buffered [Boolean]
  Whether to use Nagle's Buffering algorithm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagle's_algorithm)
  Recommend disabling for RPC style invocations where we don't want to wait for an
  ACK from the server before sending the last partial segment
  Buffering is recommended in a browser or file transfer style environment
  where multiple sends are expected during a single response
  Default: true

:connect_retry_count [Fixnum]
  Number of times to retry connecting when a connection fails
  Default: 10

:connect_retry_interval [Float]
  Number of seconds between connection retry attempts after the first failed attempt
  Default: 0.5

:retry_count [Fixnum]
  Number of times to retry when calling #retry_on_connection_failure
  This is independent of :connect_retry_count which still applies with
  connection failures. This retry controls upto how many times to retry the
  supplied block should a connection failure occurr during the block
  Default: 3

:on_connect [Proc]
  Directly after a connection is established and before it is made available
  for use this Block is invoked.
  Typical Use Cases:
  - Initialize per connection session sequence numbers
  - Pass any authentication information to the server
  - Perform a handshake with the server

:policy [Symbol|Proc]
  Specify the policy to use when connecting to servers.
    :ordered
      Select a server in the order supplied in the array, with the first
      having the highest priority. The second server will only be connected
      to if the first server is unreachable
    :random
      Randomly select a server from the list every time a connection
      is established, including during automatic connection recovery.
    :ping_time
      FUTURE - Not implemented yet - Pull request anyone?
      The server with the lowest ping time will be tried first
    Proc:
      When a Proc is supplied, it will be called passing in the list
      of servers. The Proc must return one server name
        Example:
          :policy => Proc.new do |servers|
            servers.last
          end
    Default: :ordered

:close_on_error [True|False]
  To prevent the connection from going into an inconsistent state
  automatically close the connection if an error occurs
  This includes a Read Timeout
  Default: true

Appender Parameters:

separator: [String]
  Separator between every message
  Default: "\n"
  Note: The separator should not be something that could be output in the formatted log message.

Common Appender Parameters:

application: [String]
  Name of this application to appear in log messages.
  Default: SemanticLogger.application

host: [String]
  Name of this host to appear in log messages.
  Default: SemanticLogger.host

level: [:trace | :debug | :info | :warn | :error | :fatal]
  Override the log level for this appender.
  Default: SemanticLogger.default_level

formatter: [Object|Proc]
  An instance of a class that implements #call, or a Proc to be used to format
  the output from this appender
  Default: Use the built-in formatter (See: #call)

filter: [Regexp|Proc]
  RegExp: Only include log messages where the class name matches the supplied.
  regular expression. All other messages will be ignored.
  Proc: Only include log messages where the supplied Proc returns true
        The Proc must return true or false.

Example:

SemanticLogger.add_appender(
  appender: :tcp,
  server:   'server:3300'
)

Example, with connection retry options:

SemanticLogger.add_appender(
  appender:               :tcp,
  server:                 'server:3300',
  connect_retry_interval: 0.1,
  connect_retry_count:    5
)
