How to Log in SailsJS

Question

What is the actual syntax to log in SailsJS?

Docs don't have anything, but found the following line in the site's roadmap

"Pull out Sails.log (winston wrapper) as a separate module so it can be used by waterline"

I image it's something like:

Sails.log(...)
Sails.error(...)
Sails.warn(...)

Answer 1

In your controllers, models, services, and anywhere else that the sails global is available, you can log with one of:

sails.log();
sails.log.warn();
sails.log.info();
sails.log.debug();
sails.log.error();
sails.log.verbose();
sails.log.silly();

The logging level (that is, the level at which logs will be output to the console) is set in /config/log.js.

To extend on the Scott Answer, dont forget to add the filePath: property to log.js file... otherwise it will not work :)

So it should be something like:

log: {
level: 'info',
maxSize: 1000,
filePath: 'c://serverlogs/mylogfilename.log'

Answer is changed based on Joseph question.
