I have my ReactJS and NodeJS/ExpressJS project up and running inside an instance. If there were to be a problem/error while the NodeJS is running, is there a way to report/write to a file in a particular directory to keep track of all the server issues?
For example, if it were to crash, it would write the error/issue to a file, so error logging to a file.
Thank you in advance and will accept/upvote answer.
You can use morgan to do the magic.
const fs = require('fs')
const logger = require('morgan');
app.use(logger('common', {
stream: fs.createWriteStream('./access.log', {flags: 'a'})
}));
app.use(logger('dev'));
It will do both write into a file and show in console.
You can use Winston package with transport to and add it to middleware.
winston.configure({
transports: [
new (winston.transports.File)({ filename: 'somefile.log' })
]
});
Or just use express-winston
