Routes Whitelist for logging as opposed to ignoredRoutes

[oddoye-david]

Very stressful listing about 20 routes not to get logged, also routes like '/api/items?q=this' don't get picked up in the blacklist.

I do understand the use case, but I think the request, response, and body whitelists cover most sensitive data that you don't want logged. I would think the route itself getting logged isn't really sensitive. Although maybe I'm just not thinking of good examples.

Anyway, you can make your own route whitelist using ignoreRoute or skip. Something like this is what you'd want (no guarantees about its quality, this is just some rough code):

var routeWhitelist = ['/foo', '/bar'];

app.use(expressWinston.logger({
  transports: [new winston.transports.Console()],
  ignoreRoute: function (req, res) {
    return routeWhitelist.indexOf(req.originalUrl || req.url) === -1;
  }
}));

use req.path if you want to ignore query params

const routeWhitelist = ['/foo', '/bar'];

app.use(expressWinston.logger({
  transports: [new winston.transports.Console()],
  ignoreRoute: function (req, res) {
    return routeWhitelist.indexOf(req.path) === -1;
  }
}));
