Subscribe to file rotate events (rotating-file-stream) #502

Closed sulhome closed 8 years ago

sulhome commented 8 years ago

I am using rotating-file-stream for file rotation in good.

how can I subscribe to the events emitted by rotating-file-stream?

Is there a way to get hold of the rotating-file-stream instance so I can subscribe to these events?

thank you

Not really... not in a way that is documented or supported. The reporters are supposed to be sort of isolated and black-boxed.

What are you trying to do?

sulhome commented 8 years ago

I want to send log files to another location (S3 bucket) so the workflow I want to implement is like this log to file --> rotated event raised --> send this file to S3 bucket

arb commented 8 years ago

You could just log directly to the S3 bucket instead? Or do you really want to have the log file and a copy of it on S3?

sulhome commented 8 years ago

you can post files to S3 but not log entries so you can't use http or file

It would probably be easier and cleaner to use another tool for this; like a cron job or something.

Alternatively, you could use something like https://github.com/Coggle/s3-streamlogger. Remember, you can use ANY stream with good now; not just the ones under the hapijs GitHub organization.
