Http(s) broadcasting for Good process monitor

Lead Maintainer: Adam Bretz

good-http is a good-reporter implementation to write hapi server events to remote endpoints. It makes a "POST" request with a JSON payload to the supplied endpoint.

creates a new GoodFile object with the following arguments

• endpoint - full path to remote server to transmit logs.
• [options] - optional arguments object
  • [events] - an object of key value paris. Defaults to { request: '*', log: '*' }.
    • key - one of ("request", "log", "error", or "ops") indicating the hapi event to subscribe to
    • value - an array of tags to filter incoming events. An empty array indicates no filtering.
  • threshold - number of events to hold before transmission. Defaults to 20. Set to 0 to have every event start transmission instantly. It is strongly suggested to have a set threshold to make data transmission more efficient.
  • [wreck] - configuration object to pass into wreck. Defaults to { timeout: 60000, headers: {} }. content-type is always "application/json".

good-file implements the good-reporter interface as has no additional public methods.

• stop(callback) - GoodHttp will make a final attempt to transmit anything remaining in it's internal event queue when stop is called.
