Logging

As of v2, logging uses bole because it defaults to machine parsable logs, minimalistic and easy to write stream adapters for.

A DEBUG adapter that works just like before is already included in rabbot, so you can still prefix the service with DEBUG=rabbot.* to get rabbot specific output.

Note: rabbot.queue.* and rabbot.exchange.* are high volume namespaces since that is where all published and subscribed messages get reported.

Attaching Custom Loggers

A log call is now exposed directly to make it easier to attach streams to the bole instance:

const rabbot = require( "rabbot" );

// works like bole's output call
rabbot.log( [
  { level: "info", stream: process.stdout },
  { level: "debug", stream: fs.createWriteStream( "./debug.log" ), objectMode: true }
] );
