Logasm

Usage

Creating a new Logasm logger in Ruby

Logasm.build(application_name, logger_config)

application_name is the name of the application. Only logstash logger will use this.

logger_config is a hash with logger types and their configuration.

Configuration

loggers:
  stdout:
    level: 'debug'
  logstash:
    level: 'info'
    host: 'localhost'
    port: 5228

Supported log levels:

1. fatal
2. error
3. warn
4. info
5. debug

For example level: 'warn' will log everything with warn and above.

Examples

Creating a new stdout logger

require 'logasm'

logasm = Logasm.build('myApp', stdout: nil)

Creating a new logstash logger

require 'logasm'

logasm = Logasm.build('myApp', logstash: { host: "localhost", port: 5228 })

Creating a new logger that logs into stdout and logstash at the same time

require 'logasm'

logasm = Logasm.build('myApp', { stdout: nil, logstash: { host: "localhost", port: 5228 }})

When no loggers are specified, it creates a stdout logger by default.

Preprocessors

Preprocessors allow modification of log messages, prior to sending of the message to the configured logger(s).

Blacklist

Excludes or masks defined fields of the passed hash object. You can specify the name of the field and which action to take on it. Nested hashes of any level are preprocessed as well.

Available actions:

• exclude(default) - fully excludes the field and its value from the hash.
• mask - replaces every character from the original value with *. In case of array, hash or boolean value is replaced with one *.

Configuration

preprocessors:
  blacklist:
    fields:
      - key: password
      - key: phone
        action: mask

Usage

logger = Logasm.build(application_name, logger_config, preprocessors)

input = {password: 'password', info: {phone: '+12055555555'}}

logger.debug("Received request", input)

Logger output:

Received request {"info":{"phone":"************"}}

Whitelist

Masks all the fields except those whitelisted in the configuration using JSON Pointer. Only simple values(string, number, boolean) can be whitelisted.

Configuration

preprocessors:
  whitelist:
    pointers: ['/info/phone']

Usage

logger = Logasm.build(application_name, logger_config, preprocessors)

input = {password: 'password', info: {phone: '+12055555555'}}

logger.debug("Received request", input)

Logger output:

Received request {password: "********", "info":{"phone":"+12055555555"}}
