A Mysql transport for winston. This module is writted by sapher and mantained by me.

Installation

Installing winston-mysql-transport via npm

  $ npm install winston
  $ npm install winston-mysql-transport

(or add it to your package.json)

Usage

First you must generate your log table

/*file : extras/schema.sql*/
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `my_database`.`log_table` (
	`id` int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
	`level` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
	`message` text NOT NULL,
	`timestamp` datetime NOT NULL,
	`meta` varchar(255),
	`hostname` varchar(255),
	PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);

And in your code...

  var winston = require('winston');
  
  //
  // Requiring `winston-mysql-transport` will expose
  // `winston.transports.Mysql`
  //
  require('winston-mysql-transport').Mysql;
  
  options = {
  	database : "my_database",
  	table : "log_table",
  	user : "root"
  }
  
  winston.add(winston.transports.Mysql, options);

You can find a list of options that you can pass here :
