Is there a way to send data to Logentries in a NodeJS + Browserify context?

Question

I am trying to send data to Logentries from an AWS Lambda function, created using the JAWS Framework (which is now the Serverless Framework), which uses Browserify as its default builder. However...

• The logentries/le_node package doesn't seem to be compatible with Browserify.
• The logentries/le_js package doesn't seem to work in a NodeJS environment (due to XMLHttpRequest being undefined).

Is there some way to send data to Logentries in this situation?

I looked briefly at connecting Logentries to AWS CloudWatch directly, but the option for enabling that (via Logentries) says "Enable Cloudwatch & infrastructure information", whereas I'm just looking for a way to feed specific CloudWatch streams into specific Logentries log sets, and I don't need any of the infrastructure information.

EDIT:
Based on feedback from Logentries support staff, I ended up using an HTTP POST API that they have (not to be confused with their deprecated HTTP PUT API). Here's the code I used:

You could use xmlhttprequest to define a global XMLHttpRequest so you can use le_js in Node:

global.XMLHttpRequest = require('xmlhttprequest').XMLHttpRequest;
var LE = require('le_js');
