Hipchat Appender

The hipchat appender will send every log message it receives to a hipchat server, over HTTP. It uses the hipchat-notifier library, and you will need to include that in your dependencies if you want to use this appender. If you’re not sure what some of the configuration options below mean, then check the documentation for hipchat-notifier, and the hipchat docs themselves.

Configuration

Example (default config)

log4js.configure({
  appenders: {
    squawk: { type: 'hipchat', hipchat_token: 'abc123', hipchat_room: 'ops' }
  },
  categories: {
    default: { appenders: ['squawk'], level: 'error'}
  }
});

This will result in all error (and above) messages being sent to the hipchat room “ops”.

Example (use all the options!)

log4js.configure({
  appenders: {
    squawk: {
      type: 'hipchat',
      hipchat_token: 'abc123',
      hipchat_room: 'things_are_on_fire',
      hipchat_from: 'Hal9000',
      hipchat_notify: true,
      hipchat_host: 'hipchat.yourorganisation.com',
      hipchat_response_callback: function(err, response) {
        console.log("I got a response from hipchat: ", response);
      }
    }
  },
  categories: {
    default: { appenders: ['squawk'], level: 'info' }
  }
});
