`bunyan` (without redir) ^C should stop, doesn't since recent change man page for the bunyan CLI (refer to it in the readme) `tail -f`-like support 2.0 (?) with `v: 1` in log records. Fwd/bwd compat in `bunyan` CLI document log.addStream() and log.addSerializers() full-on docs better examples/ better coloring "template" support for 'rotating-file' stream to get dated rolled files "all" or "off" levels? log4j? logging.py? logging.py has NOTSET === 0. I think that is only needed/used for multi-level hierarchical effective level. buffered writes to increase speed: I'd start with a tools/timeoutput.js for some numbers to compare before/after. Sustained high output to a file. perhaps this would be a "buffered: true" option on the stream object then wrap the "stream" with a local class that handles the buffering to finish this, need the 'log.close' and `process.on('exit', ...)` work that Trent has started. "canWrite" handling for full streams. Need to buffer a la log4js test file log with logadm rotation: does it handle that? test suite: test for a cloned logger double-`stream.end()` causing problems. Perhaps the "closeOnExit" for existing streams should be false for clones. test that a `log.clone(...)` adding a new field matching a serializer works and that an existing field in the parent is not re-serialized. split out `bunyan` cli to a "bunyan" or "bunyan-reader" or "node-bunyan-reader" as the basis for tools to consume bunyan logs. It can grow indep of node-bunyan for generating the logs. It would take a Bunyan log record object and be expected to emit it. node-bunyan-reader .createReadStream(path, [options]) ? coloring bug: in less the indented extra info lines only have the first line colored. Do we need the ANSI char on each line? That'll be slower. document "well-known" keys from bunyan CLI p.o.v.. Add "client_req". More `bunyan` output formats and filtering features. Think about a bunyan dashboard that supports organizing and viewing logs from multiple hosts and services. doc the restify RequestCaptureStream usage of RingBuffer. Great example. A vim plugin (a la http://vim.cybermirror.org/runtime/autoload/zip.vim ?) to allow browsing (read-only) a bunyan log in rendered form. Some speed comparisons with others to get a feel for Bunyan's speed. what about promoting 'latency' field and making that easier? `log.close` to close streams and shutdown and `this.closed` process.on('exit', log.close) -> 'end' for the name bunyan cli: more layouts (http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/EnhancedPatternLayout.html) Custom log formats (in config file? in '-f' arg) using printf or hogan.js or whatever. Dap wants field width control for lining up. Hogan.js is probably overkill for this. loggly example using raw streams, hook.io?, whatever. serializer support: restify-server.js example -> restifyReq ? or have `req` detect that. That is nicer for the "use all standard ones". Does restify req have anything special? differential HTTP client req/res with server req/res. statsd stream? http://codeascraft.etsy.com/2011/02/15/measure-anything-measure-everything/ Think about it. web ui.
