How to use Errsole in a Node.js script?

[venki91]

Node.js scripts are short-lived processes, so there is no need to run a dedicated web dashboard within the script itself. Here is how you can configure Errsole for such use cases:

1. Disable the Web Dashboard in your script

In your script's Errsole configuration, set enableDashboard to false. This ensures that Errsole only collects and stores logs without starting the web dashboard.

errsole.initialize({
  storage: new ErrsoleSQLite('path/to/logs/file.sqlite'),
  appName: 'your-script-name',
  enableDashboard: false
});

2. Run the Web Dashboard as a standalone app

Create a new app and configure Errsole with enableDashboard set to true. Use the same storage configuration as your script so this standalone app can access the logs generated by your script. Once set up, you can access the web dashboard from this new app.

dashboard.js

const errsole = require('errsole');
const ErrsoleSQLite = require('errsole-sqlite');

errsole.initialize({
  storage: new ErrsoleSQLite('path/to/logs/file.sqlite'),
  appName: 'your-script-name',
  enableDashboard: true
});
