Graylog does not process messages with empty `msg`

[rhduwe]

This works as expected:

log.info("message");
log.info({object: object}, "message");

But those get marked in graylog as "incomplete", while still being written normally to other streams:

log.info({"test":"test"});
log.info(config);
log.info("");

@mhart I have the same issue.

I think the problem came from your gelfling module, but I'm not sure

@rhduwe @FBerthelot well msg is a required field for Bunyan if you're using record objects: https://github.com/trentm/node-bunyan#core-fields

I'm going to close this as the bunyan mapper expects the input to be a valid bunyan record.

To me the only problem here is when you are calling :

log.info({"test":"test"});

The msg is not empty at all, but your are considering it like an empty message.

[mhart]

@FBerthelot Not sure what you mean? msg is absolutely empty in your example – the only property you've got there is test. If you're sending objects to Bunyan, you need to have a msg property

@mhart nevermind, I was totaly wrong.

I believed that msg was the english shortcut for message and refer to the first parameter of the logging function...

For your information, we use your plugin for a famous french news website and it work like a charm now ;)

Thank you
