This module provides an easy to use, higher-level layer for working with Stackdriver Logging, compatible with Bunyan. Simply attach this as a transport to your existing Bunyan loggers.
Read more about the client libraries for Cloud APIs, including the older Google APIs Client Libraries, in Client Libraries Explained.
Table of contents:
Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
Enable billing for your project.
Enable the Stackdriver Logging API.
Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.
For a more detailed Stackdriver Logging setup guide, see https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/setup/nodejs.
npm install --save @google-cloud/logging-bunyan
t bunyan = require('bunyan');
mports the Google Cloud client library for Bunyan (Node 6+)
t {LoggingBunyan} = require('@google-cloud/logging-bunyan');
reates a Bunyan Stackdriver Logging client
t loggingBunyan = new LoggingBunyan();
reate a Bunyan logger that streams to Stackdriver Logging
ogs will be written to: "projects/YOUR_PROJECT_ID/logs/bunyan_log"
t logger = bunyan.createLogger({
The JSON payload of the log as it appears in Stackdriver Logging
will contain "name": "my-service"
me: 'my-service',
log at 'info' and above
vel: 'info',
reams: [
// Log to the console
{stream: process.stdout},
// And log to Stackdriver Logging
loggingBunyan.stream(),
rites some log entries
er.error('warp nacelles offline');
er.info('shields at 99%');
Any Error
objects you log at severity error
or higher can automatically be picked up by Stackdriver Error Reporting if your application is running on Google Cloud Platform. Make sure to add logs to your uncaught exception and unhandled rejection handlers if you want to see those errors too.
You may also want to see the @google-cloud/error-reporting module which provides direct access to the Error Reporting API.
To format your request logs you can provide a httpRequest
property on the bunyan metadata you provide along with the log message. We will treat this as the HttpRequest
message and Stackdriver logging will show this as a request log. Example:
er.info({
tpRequest: {
status: res.statusCode,
requestUrl: req.url,
requestMethod: req.method,
remoteIp: req.connection.remoteAddress,
// etc.
eq.path);
The httpRequest
proprety must be a properly formatted HttpRequest
message.
If you use @google-cloud/trace-agent module, then this module will set the Stackdriver Logging LogEntry trace
property based on the current trace context when available. That correlation allows you to view log entries inline with trace spans in the Stackdriver Trace Viewer. Example:
If you wish to set the Stackdriver LogEntry trace
property with a custom value, then write a Bunyan log entry property for 'logging.googleapis.com/trace'
, which is exported by this module as LOGGING_TRACE_KEY
. For example:
t bunyan = require('bunyan');
ode 6+
t {LoggingBunyan} = require('@google-cloud/logging-bunyan');
t loggingBunyan = LoggingBunyan();
er.info({
g: 'Bunyan log entry with custom trace field',

This library follows Semantic Versioning.
This library is considered to be in beta. This means it is expected to be mostly stable while we work toward a general availability release; however, complete stability is not guaranteed. We will address issues and requests against beta libraries with a high priority.
