@newrelic/winston-enricher

New Relic's official winston log enricher for use with the Node Agent.

The winston-enricher log format adds additional app, distributed trace and span information output as JSON-formatted log messages. This is most commonly used with the New Relic Logs product.

For the latest information, please see the New Relic docs.

Installation

npm install @newrelic/winston-enricher

Usage

// index.js
require('newrelic')
const newrelicFormatter = require('@newrelic/winston-enricher')

The New Relic formatter can be used individually or combined with other formatters as the final format.

format: winston.format.combine(
  winston.format.label({label: 'test'}),
  newrelicFormatter()
)

Note for unhandledException log messages:

The stack trace will be written to the error.stack property.

To accommodate the New Relic Logs 4000 character log line limit, the stack and trace properties will be removed and the message, error.message and error.stack values will be truncated to 1024 characters.

Version Requirements

winston versions 3.0.0 and greater are supported.

For more information, including currently supported Node versions, please see the agent compatibility and requirements.
