Heyo,

I have two node.js scripts running with the forever module, and I'd like to use log.io to track their logs, but it doesn't seem to be pushing any messages through. I've set up the /etc/log.io/harvester.conf correctly, but still no go.

Here's my forever list:

Here's my harvester.conf

/* Log.io log harvester configuration */

exports.config = {

  // Log server host & port
  server: {
    host: '127.0.0.1',
    port: 8998,
  },

  // Watch the following log files, defined by label:path mappings
  log_file_paths: {
    haraka: '/root/sendtodropbox/prod/logs/haraka.log',
    queue: '/root/sendtodropbox/prod/logs/queue.log',
  },

  // Define name of current machine.
  // Alternatively, you can set this name in /etc/profile:
  // export LOGIO_HARVESTER_INSTANCE_NAME='my_log_machine'
  // If so, comment out the line below
  instance_name : 'sendtodropbox'

}

The harvester / server connect seems to work fine:

Now I know there are messages being appended to these logs. If I tail -f the log files, there's a ton of activity. For some reason its just not being pushed through the harvester. I've started and stoped the log.io server and harvester multiple times to see if that was an issue, but it didn't seem to help.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ralph

This was due to a regression in forever, I've just updated the dependency to v0.8.2 which has fixed the problem. Thanks for the message, sorry for the slow turnaround.
