Nice project, I really like the idea. Is it possible to create multiple log streams at once?

[piterrro → pmig]

I'm working on it as we speak! My plan is to listen on multiple ports then attach the "origin" field to each log message with the port number it was produced with. This way you should be able to do:

$ logdy socket 8001,8002,8003

$ node app1.js | nc 8001;

$ node app2.js | nc 8002;

$ node app3.js | nc 8003;

Wdyt?

Not sure if you want to go that route, but unix sockets allow you to use SO_PASSCRED to get the pid of the connected process, you could use that as natural "origin" without requiring many ports

Makes sense! I like the approach.
