Logging a nodejs application into DigitalOcean Spaces using Winston

Question

Does Winston support a writable stream object that uploads to DigitalOcean Spaces?

There is for example s3-streamlogger for S3 objects, but I could not find a direct way to use winston with spaces.

Answer 1

According to Spaces Documentation, Spaces is compatible with AWS S3 API:

The Spaces API aims to be interoperable with Amazon's AWS S3 API. In most cases, when using a client library, setting the "endpoint" or "base" URL to ${REGION}.digitaloceanspaces.com and generating a Spaces key to replace your AWS IAM key will allow you to use Spaces in place of S3.

So I ended up using s3-streamlogger with Winston to upload logs into my spaces bucket:

import   winston          from 'winston';
import { S3StreamLogger } from 's3-streamlogger';

const s3Stream = new S3StreamLogger({
  bucket: "mybucket",
  config: {
    endpoint: 'nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com',
  },
  access_key_id: "MY_ACCESS_KEY",
  secret_access_key: "MY_SECRET_KEY",
  tags: {type: "mytype", project: "myproject"}
});

const s3Transport = new winston.transports.Stream({
  stream: s3Stream
});

export const logger = winston.createLogger({
  transports: [s3Transport]
});

logger.info('Hello Winston!');

Hope it helps
