Adding extra fields to top level of log object #570

Closed rossanthony closed 6 years ago

rossanthony commented 6 years ago

We are using 'good' with 'good-squeeze' and 'SafeJson' for logging and the stdout is being consumed by a logging service called Splunk. We have lots of apps and want to be able to easily filter by an AppID.

Is it possible to add a custom field via the config of 'good' or maybe 'good-squeeze', so we can insert a static app identifier to the top level of every object logged by good?

For example:


{ 
   appId: 2001,
   event: "request",
   method: "post",
   path: "/test",
   timestamp: 1510788236049,
   ....
}

You'd have to add another transform stream before SafeJson and attach the value there.

Thanks @arb, I suspected that might be the only option. Do you know of any good examples showing how to setup a custom transform stream?

arb commented 6 years ago

The tests for good would be a good place to start. Not sure outside of that as people seem to create custom transform streams at the application level and not open source.

Looked at the source for 'good-console' that served as a good starting point. Thanks a lot for your help.
