File Logging

Save your logs to files for persistence and analysis using Logixlysia's file logging system.

Basic Usage

logixlysia({
  config: {
    logFilePath: './logs/app.log'
  }
})

Configuration Options

Multiple Log Files

Create separate log files for different purposes:

logixlysia({
  config: {
    logFilePath: {
      error: './logs/error.log',
      access: './logs/access.log',
      debug: './logs/debug.log'
    }
  }
})

File Format

Logs are written in a structured format:

🦊 2025-04-13 15:00:19.225 INFO  123.45ms GET /api/users 200 
🦊 2025-04-13 15:00:20.225 ERROR 234.56ms POST /api/users 500 Error creating user

Best Practices

1. File Organization

   • Use descriptive file names
   • Organize logs by type/level
   • Consider using date-based directories

2. Performance

   • Use async file writing
   • Consider buffering for high-volume logs
   • Monitor disk space usage

3. Security

   • Set appropriate file permissions
   • Avoid logging sensitive data
   • Regular log review and cleanup
