plain object -> readable format about node-gelf-pro HOT 6 CLOSED

log.info(JSON.stringify({me: {fname: 'k', lname: 'k', bdate: new Date(2000, 01, 01)}})) does the same. If you need primitives, I think that library might suit you better.

What is the expectations? Could you provide some examples?

I want to dump the whole object into graylog as it is.

{me: {fname: 'k', lname: 'k', bdate: new Date(2000, 01, 01)}}
This should be one field with key : me and value: {fname: 'k', lname: 'k', bdate: new Date(2000, 01, 01)}
I assume that this capability to convert a plain object was added to the library to enhance the search in graylog. But if I do this, the number of fields in my index increases drastically and leads to index failure. Only 1000 fields are allowed in 1 index.

You can't do that (elasticsearch is typed(Double/Long/etc.) and node.js is not). Though, you may try to use JSON.stringify. If the object is huge, try to stringify the second level only and so on.

Also, you can always implement toString() method and it'll be used automatically to convert your object into a string.

This library allows me to do it: https://www.npmjs.com/package/graylog2

Yea I get it. Btw, toString() doesn't work.
