bunyan-redis

library0.1.4jsnpmunverified

A Bunyan stream transport for logging to Redis. Version 0.1.4 is the latest, though the package appears unmaintained (no recent updates). It allows sending log records to a Redis list or stream via the provided container key. Differentiates from other Bunyan transports by targeting Redis as a log backend. Suitable for centralized logging pipelines consuming from Redis.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

RedisTransport

✓ import { RedisTransport } from 'bunyan-redis'

✗ const RedisTransport = require('bunyan-redis').RedisTransport

The package exports a named export. CJS require must access the property.

default

✓ import bunyanRedis from 'bunyan-redis'

✗ const bunyanRedis = require('bunyan-redis')

Default export is the RedisTransport class. CJS require returns the module.exports object.

RedisTransport

✓ const { RedisTransport } = require('bunyan-redis')

✗ const RedisTransport = require('bunyan-redis')

Destructuring is required for CJS to get the class, not the module exports object.

Creates a Bunyan logger that writes raw log entries to a Redis list keyed by 'logs'.

import bunyan from 'bunyan'; import { RedisTransport } from 'bunyan-redis'; const transport = new RedisTransport({ container: 'logs', host: '127.0.0.1', port: 6379, db: 0 }); const logger = bunyan.createLogger({ name: 'bunyan-redis', streams: [{ type: 'raw', level: 'trace', stream: transport }] }); logger.info({ foo: 'bar' }, 'test log');

Debug

Known issues

gotchaStream type must be 'raw' to preserve object structure, not 'json'.

fix

Set stream type to 'raw' in Bunyan stream configuration.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaNo reconnection or error handling for Redis connection loss.

fix

Implement custom error handling on the Redis client before passing to transport.

affects: >=0.1.0

deprecatedPackage uses older redis driver API (e.g., no promise support).

fix

Consider switching to a maintained alternative or update the underlying redis client manually.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe 'container' option is the Redis key used for list push; logs are stored as serialized JSON strings.

fix

Ensure consumer reads from the correct Redis list using LRANGE or BLPOP.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: transport is not a stream

Stream type not set to 'raw' or transport not instantiated correctly.

fix

Add 'type: "raw"' to the stream config and ensure transport is an instance of RedisTransport.

Error: Redis connection to 127.0.0.1:6379 failed

Redis server not running or unreachable.

fix

Start Redis server or provide correct host/port.

ERR wrong number of arguments for 'rpush' command

Container name missing or empty.

fix

Provide a non-empty 'container' option.
