When starting npm I am facing an error. The error states that "Error: log4js configuration problem for { type: 'log4js-syslog-appender'," Essentially seems like the format for the log4js config might be wrong. I am a complete newbie to node and would appreciate any pointers on what may be a good next step here.
I have inherited a bunch of code that was written with Node 4.2 and npm 3.x I have had to compile openssl fips binaries and then recompile and reinstall node (6.11.1) and npm with it (3.10.10). I am now simply trying to do npm start and running into an error.
Config.js looks like this for the log4js part:
/*
|--------------------------------------------------
| Logging
|--------------------------------------------------
*/
var log4js = require('log4js');
var use_syslog = process.env.LOG_SYSLOG == "true";
var appenders = [ { type: 'console' } ];
if (use_syslog) {
appenders.push({ type: 'log4js-syslog-appender',
tag: 'API',
facility: 'local0',
path: '/dev/log',
transport: 'socket' });
}
log4js.configure({
appenders: appenders
});
config.logger = use_syslog ? log4js.getLogger('syslog') : log4js.getLogger('console') ;
config.logger.setLevel(process.env.DEBUG_LEVEL);
I would like to find a way to solve this error but cannot figure out what exact change I need to make in the config.js file. If any direction can be provided it'll be great.
The exact error is as below:
