Parseable Bunyan Plugin

The Parseable Bunyan plugin is developed by our community champion Jacques-Yves Bleau. Refer to the plugin here:

Installation

npm install parseable-bunyan
yarn add parseable-bunyan

Using the Plugin

const { ParseableBunyan } = require('parseable-bunyan')
const bunyan = require('bunyan')

const parseableStream = new ParseableBunyan({
url: process.env.PARSEABLE_URL, // Ex: 'https://parsable.myserver.local/api/v1/logstream'
username: process.env.PARSEABLE_USERNAME,
password: process.env.PARSEABLE_PASSWORD,
logstream: process.env.PARSEABLE_LOGSTREAM, // The logstream name
tags: { tag1: 'tagValue' } // optional tags to be added with each ingestion
disableTLSCerts: true, // Optional: Default to false. Set to true to ignore invalid certificate
http2: true, // Optional: Default to true. Set to false to use HTTP/1.1 instead of HTTP/2.0
buffer: { maxEntries: 100, flushInterval: 5000 }, // Optional: Tune the default buffering options
onError: error => console.error(error), // Optional: handle an error by yourself
onRecord: record => { // optional onRecord event
// Examples of what could be done here: exclude routes, methods, IPs and UAs
const excludeMethods = 'HEAD,OPTIONS'
const excludeRoutes = '/check,/test1'
const excludeIPs = '192.168.1.1,192.168.1.2'
const excludeUAs = 'UptimeRobot,AnnoyingUA'

if (record.req) {
if (excludeRoutes.includes(record.req.path)) {
return false
}
if (excludeMethods.includes(record.req.method)) {
return false
}
if (record.remoteAddress) {
if (excludeIPs.some(ip => record.remoteAddress.includes(ip))) {
return false
}
}
if (record.req.headers['user-agent']) {
const _ua = record.req.headers['user-agent'].toLowerCase()
if (excludeUAs.some(ua => _ua.includes(ua.toLowerCase()))) {
return false
}
}
}
// You can also apply custom serialization here and return the serialized record.
}
})

const bunyanLogger = bunyan.createLogger({
name: 'logger',
serializers, // optionally set your own serializers
streams: [parseableStream]
})

Parseable Winston Plugin

The Parseable Winston plugin is developed by our community champion Jacques-Yves Bleau. Refer to the plugin here:

Installation

npm install parseable-winston
yarn add parseable-winston

Using the Plugin

// Using cjs
const { ParseableTransport } = require('parseable-winston')
const winston = require('winston')
const parseable = new ParseableTransport({
url: process.env.PARSEABLE_LOGS_URL, // Ex: 'https://parsable.myserver.local/api/v1/logstream'
username: process.env.PARSEABLE_LOGS_USERNAME,
password: process.env.PARSEABLE_LOGS_PASSWORD,
logstream: process.env.PARSEABLE_LOGS_LOGSTREAM, // The logstream name
tags: { tag1: 'tagValue' } // optional tags to be added with each ingestion
})

const logger = winston.createLogger({
levels: winston.config.syslog.levels,
transports: [parseable],
defaultMeta: { instance: 'app', hostname: 'app1' }
})

logger.info('User took the goggles', { userid: 1, user: { name: 'Rainier Wolfcastle' } })
logger.warning('The goggles do nothing', { userid: 1 })

To turn off default buffering option:

const parseable = new ParseableTransport({
url: process.env.PARSEABLE_LOGS_URL,
username: process.env.PARSEABLE_LOGS_USERNAME,
password: process.env.PARSEABLE_LOGS_PASSWORD,
logstream: process.env.PARSEABLE_LOGS_LOGSTREAM,
buffer: { maxEntries: 100, flushInterval: 5000 }
})

Using plain JavaScript

Create a log stream

First, we'll need to create a log stream. This is a one time operation, and we recommend storing log entries with same schema in a single log stream. So, for example, you can use one log stream per application (given that all logs from that application have the same schema).

var myHeaders = new Headers();
// TODO: Replace the basic auth credentials with your Parseable credentials
myHeaders.append("Authorization", "Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=");

var requestOptions = {
method: 'PUT',
headers: myHeaders,
redirect: 'follow'
};
// TODO: Replace the url with your Parseable URL and stream name
fetch("https://<parseable-url>/api/v1/logstream/<stream-name>", requestOptions)
.then(response => response.text())
.then(result => console.log(result))
.catch(error => console.log('error', error));

Send logs to the log stream

After log stream is created, you can start sending logs to the log stream using HTTP POST requests.

var myHeaders = new Headers();
// INFO: Use X-P-META-<key>:<value> to add custom metadata to the log event
myHeaders.append("X-P-META-Host", "192.168.1.3");
// INFO: Use X-P-TAG-<key>:<value> to add tags to the log event
myHeaders.append("X-P-TAG-Language", "javascript");
// TODO: Replace the basic auth credentials with your Parseable credentials
myHeaders.append("Authorization", "Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=");
myHeaders.append("Content-Type", "application/json");

var raw = JSON.stringify([{
"id": "434a5f5e-2f5f-11ed-a261-asdasdafgdfd",
"datetime": "24/Jun/2022:14:12:15 +0000",
"host": "153.10.110.81",
"user-identifier": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0",
"method": "PUT",
"status": 500,
"referrer": "http://www.google.com/"
}]);

var requestOptions = {
method: 'POST',
headers: myHeaders,
body: raw,
redirect: 'follow'
};

// TODO: Replace the url with your Parseable URL and stream name
fetch("https://<parseable-url>/api/v1/logstream/<stream-name>", requestOptions)
.then(response => response.text())
.then(result => console.log(result))
.catch(error => console.log('error', error));

Querying a log stream

Once you have started sending logs to a log stream, you can query the logs using standard SQL.

var myHeaders = new Headers();
// TODO: Replace the basic auth credentials with your Parseable credentials
myHeaders.append("Authorization", "Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=");
myHeaders.append("Content-Type", "application/json");

var raw = JSON.stringify({
// TODO: Replace the stream name with your log stream name
"query": "select * from <stream-name>",
// TODO: Replace the time range with your desired time range
"startTime": "2022-09-10T08:20:00+00:00",
"endTime": "2022-09-10T08:20:31+00:00"
});

var requestOptions = {
method: 'POST',
headers: myHeaders,
body: raw,
redirect: 'follow'
};

// TODO: Replace the url with your Parseable URL
fetch("https://<parseable-url>/api/v1/query", requestOptions)
.then(response => response.text())
.then(result => console.log(result))
.catch(error => console.log('error', error));
