Ignoring specific HTTP endpoint (like health check endpoints)

[hijklmno]

Hi,

Awesome middleware! Able to solve a handful of hard to pin down issues in production! Keep it up!

Right now I have a health check endpoint I defined as app.get('/health', handle). Is it possible to hide this from logs?

Thanks!

You can either app.use this module after your health check route, or use the skip option to return true for that route (docs for skip option: https://github.com/expressjs/morgan#skip).

Skip works! Perfect! I implemented skip for that specific route via req.url with this code:

app.use(logger(config['morgan.debug.level'], {
    skip: function (req, res) {
        if (req.url == '/health') {
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }
}));

Thank you @dougwilson! Closing.

No problem :)

Great @hijklmno ! This is exactly what I needed!
I think you can simplify it:

app.use(logger(config['morgan.debug.level'], {
  skip: (req, res) => req.url === '/health'
}));
