node.jswinstonloggly

error when setting up loggly/winston


I am following the steps outlined here to configure loggly in my nodejs app :

npm install winston
npm install winston-loggly-bulk

and in index.js :

var winston = require('winston');
require('winston-loggly-bulk');
winston.add(winston.transports.Loggly, {
token: "8ea17e10-bfce-4f78-bc18-51ab6c61f78c",
subdomain: "qbesdeveloper",
tags: ["Winston-NodeJS"],
json:true
});

but I keep getting this error :

Error: Cannot find module 'loggly'

Solution

  • Well, I reached out to Loggly support and they gave me a solution:

    The docs say to install just winston and winston-loggly-bulk, but you need to install a third packege loggly too.

    npm install winston
    npm install loggly
    npm install winston-loggly-bulk
    

    I have no idea why they did not mention this in their getting started page. Anyways, I'm gonna leave this here until they update their docs.
