@binxhealth/pino-stackdriver

A utility that makes express-pino logs StackDriver-compatible

Installation

yarn add @binxhealth/pino-stackdriver --dev

Usage

node server.js | npx pino-stackdriver

Or with a global install:

node server.js | pino-stackdriver

Or create a new stream and pass it to pino

import pino from 'pino';
import { createStream } from '@binxhealth/pino-stackdriver';

const logger = pino(
  {
    level: 'debug',
  },
  createStream()
);

logger.info('This works the same as usual...');
logger.error('...and will log to stdout with the correct Stackdriver format');

API

• createStream() => Pumpify

createStream([destination]) => Pumpify

The exported createStream function takes one optional argument, destination and returns a pumpify instance.

destination (WritableStream | SonicBoom)

Default: process.stdout

The destination parameter, at a minimum must be an object with a write method. An ordinary Node.js stream can be passed as the destination (such as the result of fs.createWriteStream).

For peak log writing performance it is strongly recommended to use pino.destination or pino.extreme to create the destination file stream.

import pino from 'pino';
import { createStream } from '@binxhealth/pino-stackdriver';

// process.stdout by default
const stdoutLogger = pino({}, createStream());

// write the stream to a file
const fileLogger = pino({}, createStream(pino.destination('/log/path')));
