Winston crashes process (solved) & does NOT reconnect to Papertrail after LOST connection (open)

See original GitHub issue

Hi guys,

woohhhaaa! my winston setup crashes the process when the connection to papertrail is lost:

    "winston": "^3.2.1",
    "winston-papertrail": "^1.0.5"

        const papertrailLogger = new winston.transports.Papertrail({
            // for options see https://github.com/kenperkins/winston-papertrail
            host,
            port,
            level: 'info',
            logFormat(level, message) {
                return `[${level}] ${message}`
            },
            inlineMeta: true,  // attach meta data inline (TODO switch it off completely see https://github.com/kenperkins/winston-papertrail/issues/85)
        })
        papertrailLogger.on('error', (err) => {
            // Handle, report, or silently ignore connection errors and failures
            console.error('[Log] papertrailLogger.error', err)
        })
        transports.push(papertrailLogger)

I wouldn’t expect a pro-logger library to need a try-catch.

Is this package still maintained?

I have same issue with no ability to reconnect. I have had that issue for a while now, it’s rather annoying. If anybody has a fix for this it would be much appreciated.

Been having the same issue for a while too, and switching to the syslog transport, or adding handleExceptions to the transport and logger doesn’t prevent the crash for my apps. I’ve been thinking of switching to http logs but I don’t know if it’s going to have the same problem too or if it’s just going to be much slower.
