nsq-logger

Nsq service to read messages from all topics listed within a list of nsqlookupd services.|

INFO: all examples are written in coffee-script

Install

  npm install nsq-logger

Initialize

var logger = new NsqLogger( config );

Example:

var NsqLogger = require( "nsq-logger" );

var config = {
    clientId: "myFooClient"
};

// create the logger
var logger = new NsqLogger( config );

// create a writer instance
/*
var NsqWriter = require( "nsq-logger/writer" );
var writer = new NsqLogger( config );
*/
// or just grab the one used inside the logger
var writer = logger.Writer;

logger.on( "message", function( topic, data, done ){
    // process your topic
    // Example response: -> topic="topic23" data ="Do some Stuff!"
    
    // mark message as done
    done();
});

writer.connect();
writer.publish( "topic23", "Do some Stuff!" );

Config

clientId : ( String|Null required ) An identifier used to disambiguate this client.
active : ( Boolean default=true ) Configuration to (en/dis)abel the nsq recorder
autoconnect : ( Boolean default=true ) Run connect on start
namespace : ( String|Null default=null ) Internally prefix the nsq topics. This will be handled transparent, but with this it's possible to separate different environments from each other. E.g. you can run a "staging" and "live" environment on one nsq cluster.
loggerChannel : ( String default="nsqlogger" ) The channel name for the logger to each topic
exceededTopic : ( String default="_exceeded" ) A topic name, that will store exceeded messages.
ignoreTopics : ( String[]|Function default=null ) A list of topics that should be ignored or a function that will called to check the ignored topics manually
lookupdPollInterval : ( Number default=60 ) Time in seconds to poll the nsqlookupd servers to sync the available topics
maxInFlight : ( Number default=1 ) The maximum number of messages to process at once. This value is shared between nsqd connections. It's highly recommended that this value is greater than the number of nsqd connections.
heartbeatInterval : ( Number default=30 ) The frequency in seconds at which the nsqd will send heartbeats to this Reader.
lookupdTCPAddresses : ( String[] default=[ "127.0.0.1:4160", "127.0.0.1:4162" ] ) A list of nsq lookup servers
lookupdHTTPAddresses : ( String[] default=[ "127.0.0.1:4161", "127.0.0.1:4163" ] ) A list of nsq lookup servers
maxAttempts : ( Number default=10 ) The number of times to a message can be requeued before it will be handed to the DISCARD handler and then automatically finished. 0 means that there is no limit. If not DISCARD handler is specified and maxAttempts > 0, then the message will be finished automatically when the number attempts has been exhausted.
messageTimeout : ( Number|Null default=null ) Message timeout in ms or null for no timeout
sampleRate : ( Number|Null default=null ) Deliver a percentage of all messages received to this connection. 1 <= sampleRate <= 99
requeueDelay : ( Number|Null default=5 ) The delay is in seconds. This is how long nsqd will hold on the message before attempting it again.
host : ( String default="127.0.0.1" ) Host of a nsqd
port : ( Number default=4150 ) Port of a nsqd
deflate : ( Boolean default=false ) Use zlib Deflate compression.
deflateLevel : ( Number default=6 ) Use zlib Deflate compression level.

Methods

`.activate()`

Activate the module

Return

( Boolean ): true if it is now activated. false if it was already active

`.deactivate()`

Deactivate the module

Return

( Boolean ): true if it is now deactivated. false if it was already inactive

`.active()`

Test if the module is currently active

Return

( Boolean ): Is active?

`.destroy( cb )`

This will stop all readers and disconnect every connection from nsq

Arguments

cb : ( Function ) Called after destroy

Events

`message`

The main event to catch and process messages from all topics.

Arguments

topic : ( String ) The topic of this message
data : ( String|Object|Array ) The message content. It tries to JSON.parse the message if possible. Otherwise it will be just a string.
done : ( String ) You have to call this function until the message was processed. This will remove the message from the queue. Otherwise it will be requeued. If you add a argument cb( new Error("Dooh!") ) it will interpreted as an error and this message be requeued immediately

Example:

logger.on( "message", function( topic, data, done ){
    // process your message.
    // E.g: writing the data to a db with the topic as tablename
    myDB.write( "INSERT INTO " + topic + " VALUES ( " + data + " )", done );
});

`ready`

Emitted once the list of topics was received and the readers are created and connected. This is just an internal helper. The Method list will also wait for the first response. The events add, remove and change are active after this first response. Example:

topics.on( "ready", function( err ){
    // handle the error
});

Properties

`logger.config`

Type: ( Config )

This is the internaly used configuration.

Attributes

See logger config

`logger.Writer`

Type: ( NsqWriter )

To write messages you can use the internal writer instance.

Details see Writer

`logger.Topics`

Type: ( NsqTopics )

The logger uses a module called nsq-topics to sync the existing topics and generate the readers for each topic. You can grab the internal used insatnce with logger.Topics

Details see nsq-topics

`logger.ready`

Type: ( Boolean )

The logger is ready to use

Writer

Initialize

var NsqWriter = require( "nsq-logger/writer" )

Example:

var NsqWriter = require( "nsq-logger/writer" );

var config = {
    clientId: "myFooClient",
    host: "127.0.0.1",
    port: 4150
};

// create the writer
var writer = new NsqWriter( config );

writer.connect();
writer.publish( "topic23", "Do some Stuff!" );

Config

clientId : ( String|Null required ) An identifier used to disambiguate this client.
namespace : ( String|Null default=null ) Internally prefix the nsq topics. This will be handled transparent, but with this it's possible to separate different environments from each other. E.g. you can run a "staging" and "live" environment on one nsq cluster.
active : ( Boolean default=true ) Configuration to (en/dis)abel the nsq recorder
host : ( String default="127.0.0.1" ) Host of a nsqd
port : ( Number default=4150 ) Port of a nsqd

Example:

writer
  .connect()
  .publish(
  	"hello", // the topic
  	JSON.strinigify( { to: [ "nsq-logger" ] } ) // the data to send
  );

`.activate()`
