Logging System

[Chris911]

Problem

We really need a solid logging system that will help us debug. Node JS crashes if an exception is not properly handled leaving us with little information about problems and how to fix them. Logging all events with proper message levels and meaningful information is a must.

Solution

• Use Winston logging module
• Remove all console.log() calls
• Use Winston to log unhandled exceptions
• Define log messages structure and level (eg, info, warning, error, critical)
• Use only one system. No logging here and there.. All should be handle via the same logger.

Extra

• Make logging level configurable per module
• Email notification when an exception is thrown
