Logs

Logs are your friends in Nexitor, they provide you with all kinds of information ranging from successful transactions up to critical errors, nothing goes unnoticed as long as you keep logging.

Searching for Logs

To search for Logs you can simply just use the full text search as it provides results in a matter of Milliseconds.

Filtering Logs

To filter for logs you can use the filters on the top. Each selected filter will be immediately applied. All incoming logs will also be filtered accordingly.

Sending Logs

See the example below of a generic HTTP post request you can use to send logs:

axios.post('https://your-instance.nexitor.io/log', {
    status: '200',
    title: 'GET - /user',
    user_name: 'Alice Brown',
    user_identifier: 'c9cdbd17-9b44-4fbb-8199-d6bc7d6c2a1a',
    user_ip: '127.0.0.1',
    message: 'My first log',
    payload: '{maxAge: 56}',
    stacktrace: 'Test Stacktrace',
    application: 'Nexitor',
    instance: 'Staging'
}, { 
    headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`
    }
})

Note This

We are working on providing modules and packages that will automate the logging process for popular frameworks. We are also looking into supporting OpenTelemetry standards.
