## `pino([options], [destination]) => logger`
|
||
|
||
The exported `pino` function takes two optional arguments,
|
||
[`options`](#options) and [`destination`](#destination) and
|
||
returns a [logger instance](#logger).
|
||
|
||
<a id=options></a>
|
||
### `options` (Object)
|
||
|
||
#### `name` (String)
|
||
|
||
Default: `undefined`
|
||
|
||
The name of the logger. When set adds a `name` field to every JSON line logged.
|
||
|
||
#### `level` (String)
|
||
|
||
Default: `'info'`
|
||
|
||
One of `'fatal'`, `'error'`, `'warn'`, `'info`', `'debug'`, `'trace'` or `'silent'`.
|
||
|
||
Additional levels can be added to the instance via the `customLevels` option.
|
||
|
||
* See [`customLevels` option](#opt-customlevels)
|
||
|
||
<a id=opt-customlevels></a>
|
||
#### `customLevels` (Object)
|
||
|
||
Default: `undefined`
|
||
|
||
Use this option to define additional logging levels.
|
||
The keys of the object correspond the namespace of the log level,
|
||
and the values should be the numerical value of the level.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const logger = pino({
|
||
customLevels: {
|
||
foo: 35
|
||
}
|
||
})
|
||
logger.foo('hi')
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<a id=opt-useOnlyCustomLevels></a>
|
||
#### `useOnlyCustomLevels` (Boolean)
|
||
|
||
Default: `false`
|
||
|
||
Use this option to only use defined `customLevels` and omit Pino's levels.
|
||
Logger's default `level` must be changed to a value in `customLevels` in order to use `useOnlyCustomLevels`
|
||
Warning: this option may not be supported by downstream transports.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const logger = pino({
|
||
customLevels: {
|
||
foo: 35
|
||
},
|
||
useOnlyCustomLevels: true,
|
||
level: 'foo'
|
||
})
|
||
logger.foo('hi')
|
||
logger.info('hello') // Will throw an error saying info in not found in logger object
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### `mixin` (Function):
|
||
|
||
Default: `undefined`
|
||
|
||
If provided, the `mixin` function is called each time one of the active
|
||
logging methods is called. The function must synchronously return an
|
||
object. The properties of the returned object will be added to the
|
||
logged JSON.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
let n = 0
|
||
const logger = pino({
|
||
mixin () {
|
||
return { line: ++n }
|
||
}
|
||
})
|
||
logger.info('hello')
|
||
// {"level":30,"time":1573664685466,"pid":78742,"hostname":"x","line":1,"msg":"hello","v":1}
|
||
logger.info('world')
|
||
// {"level":30,"time":1573664685469,"pid":78742,"hostname":"x","line":2,"msg":"world","v":1}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### `redact` (Array | Object):
|
||
|
||
Default: `undefined`
|
||
|
||
As an array, the `redact` option specifies paths that should
|
||
have their values redacted from any log output.
|
||
|
||
Each path must be a string using a syntax which corresponds to JavaScript dot and bracket notation.
|
||
|
||
If an object is supplied, three options can be specified:
|
||
* `paths` (array): Required. An array of paths. See [redaction - Path Syntax ⇗](/docs/redaction.md#paths) for specifics.
|
||
* `censor` (String|Function|Undefined): Optional. When supplied as a String the `censor` option will overwrite keys which are to be redacted. When set to `undefined` the the key will be removed entirely from the object.
|
||
The `censor` option may also be a mapping function. The (synchronous) mapping function is called with the unredacted value. The value returned from the mapping function becomes the applied censor value. Default: `'[Redacted]'`
|
||
value synchronously.
|
||
Default: `'[Redacted]'`
|
||
* `remove` (Boolean): Optional. Instead of censoring the value, remove both the key and the value. Default: `false`
|
||
|
||
**WARNING**: Never allow user input to define redacted paths.
|
||
|
||
* See the [redaction ⇗](/docs/redaction.md) documentation.

||
* See [fast-redact#caveat ⇗](http://github.com/davidmarkclements/fast-redact#caveat)
|
||
|
||
<a id=opt-serializers></a>
|
||
#### `serializers` (Object)
|
||
|
||
Default: `{err: pino.stdSerializers.err}`
|
||
|
||
An object containing functions for custom serialization of objects.
|
||
These functions should return an JSONifiable object and they
|
||
should never throw. When logging an object, each top-level property
|
||
matching the exact key of a serializer will be serialized using the defined serializer.
|
||
|
||
* See [pino.stdSerializers](#pino-stdserializers)
|
||
|
||
##### `serializers[Symbol.for('pino.*')]` (Function)
|
||
|
||
Default: `undefined`
|
||
|
||
The `serializers` object may contain a key which is the global symbol: `Symbol.for('pino.*')`.
|
||
This will act upon the complete log object rather than corresponding to a particular key.
|
||
|
||
#### `base` (Object)
|
||
|
||
Default: `{pid: process.pid, hostname: os.hostname}`
|
||
|
||
Key-value object added as child logger to each log line.
|
||
|
||
Set to `null` to avoid adding `pid`, `hostname` and `name` properties to each log.
|
||
|
||
#### `enabled` (Boolean)
|
||
|
||
Default: `true`
|
||
|
||
Set to `false` to disable logging.
|
||
|
||
#### `crlf` (Boolean)
|
||
|
||
Default: `false`
|
||
|
||
Set to `true` to logs newline delimited JSON with `\r\n` instead of `\n`.
|
||
|
||
<a id=opt-timestamp></a>
|
||
#### `timestamp` (Boolean | Function)
|
||
|
||
Default: `true`
|
||
|
||
Enables or disables the inclusion of a timestamp in the
|
||
log message. If a function is supplied, it must synchronously return a JSON string
|
||
representation of the time, e.g. `,"time":1493426328206` (which is the default).
|
||
|
||
If set to `false`, no timestamp will be included in the output.
|
||
See [stdTimeFunctions](#pino-stdtimefunctions) for a set of available functions
|
||
for passing in as a value for this option.
|
||
|
||
**Caution**: attempting to format time in-process will significantly impact logging performance.
|
||
|
||
<a id=opt-messagekey></a>
|
||
#### `messageKey` (String)
|
||
|
||
Default: `'msg'`
|
||
|
||
The string key for the 'message' in the JSON object.
|
||
|
||
<a id=opt-nestedkey></a>
|
||
#### `nestedKey` (String)
|
||
|
||
Default: `null`
|
||
|
||
If there's a chance that objects being logged have properties that conflict with those from pino itself (`level`, `timestamp`, `v`, `pid`, etc)
|
||
and duplicate keys in your log records are undesirable, pino can be configured with a `nestedKey` option that causes any `object`s that are logged
|
||
to be placed under a key whose name is the value of `nestedKey`.
|
||
|
||
This way, when searching something like Kibana for values, one can consistently search under the configured `nestedKey` value instead of the root log record keys.
|
||
|
||
For example,
|
||
```js
|
||
const logger = require('pino')({
|
||
nestedKey: 'payload'
|
||
})
|
||
|
||
const thing = { level: 'hi', time: 'never', foo: 'bar'} // has pino-conflicting properties!
|
||
logger.info(thing)
|
||
|
||
// logs the following:
|
||
// {"level":30,"time":1578357790020,"pid":91736,"hostname":"x","payload":{"level":"hi","time":"never","foo":"bar"},"v":1}
|
||
```
|
||
In this way, logged objects' properties don't conflict with pino's standard logging properties,
|
||
and searching for logged objects can start from a consistent path.
|
||
|
||
<a id=prettyPrint></a>
|
||
#### `prettyPrint` (Boolean | Object)
|
||
|
||
Default: `false`
|
||
|
||
Enables pretty printing log logs. This is intended for non-production
|
||
configurations. This may be set to a configuration object as outlined in the
|
||
[`pino-pretty` documentation](https://github.com/pinojs/pino-pretty).
|
||
|
||
The options object may additionally contain a `prettifier` property to define
|
||
which prettifier module to use. When not present, `prettifier` defaults to
|
||
`'pino-pretty'`. Regardless of the value, the specified prettifier module
|
||
must be installed as a separate dependency:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
npm install pino-pretty
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<a id="useLevelLabels"></a>
|
||
#### `useLevelLabels` (Boolean)
|
||
|
||
Default: `false`
|
||
|
||
Enables printing of level labels instead of level values in the printed logs.
|
||
Warning: this option may not be supported by downstream transports.
|
||
|
||
<a id="changeLevelName"></a>
|
||
#### `changeLevelName` (String) - DEPRECATED
|
||
Use `levelKey` instead. This will be removed in v7.
|
||
|
||
<a id="levelKey"></a>
|
||
#### `levelKey` (String)
|
||
|
||
Default: `'level'`
|
||
|
||
Changes the property `level` to any string value you pass in:
|
||
```js
|
||
const logger = pino({
|
||
levelKey: 'priority'
|
||
})
|
||
logger.info('hello world')
|
||
// {"priority":30,"time":1531257112193,"msg":"hello world","pid":55956,"hostname":"x","v":1}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### `browser` (Object)
|
||
|
||
Browser only, may have `asObject` and `write` keys. This option is separately
|
||
documented in the [Browser API ⇗](/docs/browser.md) documentation.
|
||
|
||
* See [Browser API ⇗](/docs/browser.md)
|
||
|
||
<a id="destination"></a>
|
||
### `destination` (SonicBoom | WritableStream | String)
|
||
|
||
Default: `pino.destination(1)` (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`) but for peak log writing performance it is strongly
|
||
recommended to use `pino.destination` or `pino.extreme` to create the destination stream.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
// pino.destination(1) by default
|
||
const stdoutLogger = require('pino')()
|
||
|
||
// destination param may be in first position when no options:
|
||
const fileLogger = require('pino')( pino.destination('/log/path'))
|
||
|
||
// use the stderr file handle to log to stderr:
|
||
const opts = {name: 'my-logger'}
|
||
const stderrLogger = require('pino')(opts, pino.destination(2))
|
||
|
||
// automatic wrapping in pino.destination
|
||
const fileLogger = require('pino')('/log/path')
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
However, there are some special instances where `pino.destination` is not used as the default:
|
||
|
||
+ When something, e.g a process manager, has monkey-patched `process.stdout.write`.
|
||
|
||
In these cases `process.stdout` is used instead.
|
||
|
||
* See [`pino.destination`](#pino-destination)
|
||
* See [`pino.extreme`](#pino-extreme)
|
||
|
||
<a id="metadata"></a>
|
||
#### `destination[Symbol.for('pino.metadata')]`
|
||
|
||
Default: `false`
|
||
|
||
Using the global symbol `Symbol.for('pino.metadata')` as a key on the `destination` parameter and
|
||
setting the key it to `true`, indicates that the following properties should be
|
||
set on the `destination` object after each log line is written:
|
||
|
||
* the last logging level as `destination.lastLevel`
|
||
* the last logging message as `destination.lastMsg`
|
||
* the last logging object as `destination.lastObj`
|
||
* the last time as `destination.lastTime`, which will be the partial string returned
|
||
by the time function.
|
||
* the last logger instance as `destination.lastLogger` (to support child
|
||
loggers)
|
||
|
||
For a full reference for using `Symbol.for('pino.metadata')`, see the [`pino-multi-stream` ⇗](https://github.com/pinojs/pino-multi-stream)
|
||
module.
|
||
|
||
The following is a succinct usage example:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const dest = pino.destination('/dev/null')
|
||
dest[Symbol.for('pino.metadata')] = true
|
||
const logger = pino(dest)
|
||
logger.info({a: 1}, 'hi')
|
||
const { lastMsg, lastLevel, lastObj, lastTime} = dest
|
||
console.log(
|
||
'Logged message "%s" at level %d with object %o at time %s',
|
||
lastMsg, lastLevel, lastObj, lastTime
|
||
) // Logged message "hi" at level 30 with object { a: 1 } at time 1531590545089
|
||
```

|
||
## Logger Instance
|
||
|
||
The logger instance is the object returned by the main exported
|
||
[`pino`](#export) function.
|
||
|
||
The primary purpose of the logger instance is to provide logging methods.
|
||
|
||
The default logging methods are `trace`, `debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error`, and `fatal`.
|
||
|
||
Each logging method has the following signature:
|
||
`([mergingObject], [message], [...interpolationValues])`.
|
||
|
||
The parameters are explained below using the `logger.info` method but the same applies to all logging methods.
|
||
|
||
### Logging Method Parameters
|
||
|
||
<a id=mergingobject></a>
|
||
#### `mergingObject` (Object)
|
||
|
||
An object can optionally be supplied as the first parameter. Each enumerable key and value
|
||
of the `mergingObject` is copied in to the JSON log line.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
logger.info({MIX: {IN: true}})
|
||
// {"level":30,"time":1531254555820,"pid":55956,"hostname":"x","MIX":{"IN":true},"v":1}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<a id=message></a>
|
||
#### `message` (String)
|
||
|
||
A `message` string can optionally be supplied as the first parameter, or
|
||
as the second parameter after supplying a `mergingObject`.
|
||
|
||
By default, the contents of the `message` parameter will be merged into the
|
||
JSON log line under the `msg` key:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
logger.info('hello world')
|
||
// {"level":30,"time":1531257112193,"msg":"hello world","pid":55956,"hostname":"x","v":1}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The `message` parameter takes precedence over the `mergedObject`.
|
||
That is, if a `mergedObject` contains a `msg` property, and a `message` parameter
|
||
is supplied in addition, the `msg` property in the output log will be the value of
|
||
the `message` parameter not the value of the `msg` property on the `mergedObject`.
|
||
|
||
The `messageKey` option can be used at instantiation time to change the namespace
|
||
from `msg` to another string as preferred.
|
||
|
||
The `message` string may contain a printf style string with support for
|
||
the following placeholders:
|
||
|
||
* `%s` – string placeholder
|
||
* `%d` – digit placeholder
|
||
* `%O`, `%o` and `%j` – object placeholder
|
||
|
||
Values supplied as additional arguments to the logger method will
|
||
then be interpolated accordingly.
|
||
|
||
* See [`messageKey` pino option](#opt-messagekey)
|
||
* See [`...interpolationValues` log method parameter](#interpolationvalues)
|
||
|
||
<a id=interpolationvalues></a>
|
||
#### `...interpolationValues` (Any)
|
||
|
||
All arguments supplied after `message` are serialized and interpolated according
|
||
to any supplied printf-style placeholders (`%s`, `%d`, `%o`|`%O`|`%j`)
|
||
or else concatenated together with the `message` string to form the final
|
||
output `msg` value for the JSON log line.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
logger.info('hello', 'world')
|
||
// {"level":30,"time":1531257618044,"msg":"hello world","pid":55956,"hostname":"x","v":1}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
logger.info('hello', {worldly: 1})
|
||
// {"level":30,"time":1531257797727,"msg":"hello {\"worldly\":1}","pid":55956,"hostname":"x","v":1}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
logger.info('%o hello', {worldly: 1})
|
||
// {"level":30,"time":1531257826880,"msg":"{\"worldly\":1} hello","pid":55956,"hostname":"x","v":1}
|
||
```

|
||
|
||
<a id="trace"></a>
|
||
### `logger.trace([mergingObject], [message], [...interpolationValues])`
|

||
|
||
<a id="debug"></a>
|
||
### `logger.debug([mergingObject], [message], [...interpolationValues])`
|
||
|
||
Write a `'debug'` level log, if the configured `level` allows for it.
|
||
|
||
* See [`mergingObject` log method parameter](#mergingobject)
|
||
* See [`message` log method parameter](#message)

||
<a id="info"></a>
|

### `logger.info([mergingObject], [message], [...interpolationValues])`
|

|
||
|
||
<a id="warn"></a>
|
||
### `logger.warn([mergingObject], [message], [...interpolationValues])`
|
||
|
||
Write a `'warn'` level log, if the configured `level` allows for it.

||
* See [`mergingObject` log method parameter](#mergingobject)
|
||
* See [`message` log method parameter](#message)

* See [`...interpolationValues` log method parameter](#interpolationvalues)
|
||
|
||
<a id="error"></a>
|
||
### `logger.error([mergingObject], [message], [...interpolationValues])`
|
||
|
||
Write a `'error'` level log, if the configured `level` allows for it.
|
||
|
||
* See [`mergingObject` log method parameter](#mergingobject)
|
||
* See [`message` log method parameter](#message)
|
||
* See [`...interpolationValues` log method parameter](#interpolationvalues)
|
||
|
||
<a id="fatal"></a>
|
||
### `logger.fatal([mergingObject], [message], [...interpolationValues])`
|
||
|
||
Write a `'fatal'` level log, if the configured `level` allows for it.
|
||
|
||
Since `'fatal'` level messages are intended to be logged just prior to the process exiting the `fatal`
|
||
method will always sync flush the destination.
|
||
Therefore it's important not to misuse `fatal` since
|
||
it will cause performance overhead if used for any
|
||
other purpose than writing final log messages before
|
||
the process crashes or exits.

The `logger.child` method allows for the creation of stateful loggers,
|
||
where key-value pairs can be pinned to a logger causing them to be output
|
||
on every log line.
|
||
|
||
Child loggers use the same output stream as the parent and inherit
|
||
the current log level of the parent at the time they are spawned.
|
||
|
||
The log level of a child is mutable. It can be set independently
|
||
of the parent either by setting the [`level`](#level) accessor after creating
|
||
the child logger or using the reserved [`bindings.level`](#bindingslevel-string) key.
|
||
|
||
#### `bindings` (Object)
|
||
|
||
An object of key-value pairs to include in every log line output
|
||
via the returned child logger.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const child = logger.child({ MIX: {IN: 'always'} })
|
||
child.info('hello')
|
||
// {"level":30,"time":1531258616689,"msg":"hello","pid":64849,"hostname":"x","MIX":{"IN":"always"},"v":1}
|
||
child.info('child!')
|
||
// {"level":30,"time":1531258617401,"msg":"child!","pid":64849,"hostname":"x","MIX":{"IN":"always"},"v":1}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The `bindings` object may contain any key except for reserved configuration keys `level` and `serializers`.
|
||
|
||
##### `bindings.level` (String)
|
||
|
||
If a `level` property is present in the `bindings` object passed to `logger.child`
|
||
it will override the child logger level.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const logger = pino()
|
||
logger.debug('nope') // will not log, since default level is info
|
||
const child = logger.child({foo: 'bar', level: 'debug'})
|
||
child.debug('debug!') // will log as the `level` property set the level to debug
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### `bindings.serializers` (Object)
|
||
|
||
Child loggers inherit the [serializers](#opt-serializers) from the parent logger.
|
||
|
||
Setting the `serializers` key of the `bindings` object will override
|
||
any configured parent serializers.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const logger = require('pino')()
|
||
logger.info({test: 'will appear'})
|
||
// {"level":30,"time":1531259759482,"pid":67930,"hostname":"x","test":"will appear","v":1}
|
||
const child = logger.child({serializers: {test: () => `child-only serializer`}})
|
||
child.info({test: 'will be overwritten'})
|
||
// {"level":30,"time":1531259784008,"pid":67930,"hostname":"x","test":"child-only serializer","v":1}
|
||
```

||
<a id="bindings"></a>
|
||
### `logger.bindings()`
|
||
|
||
Returns an object containing all the current bindings, cloned from the ones passed in via `logger.child()`.
|
||
```js
|
||
const child = logger.child({ foo: 'bar' })
|
||
console.log(child.bindings())
|
||
// { foo: 'bar' }
|
||
const anotherChild = child.child({ MIX: { IN: 'always' } })
|
||
console.log(anotherChild.bindings())
|
||
// { foo: 'bar', MIX: { IN: 'always' } }
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<a id="flush"></a>
|
||
### `logger.flush()`
|
||
|
||
Flushes the content of the buffer when using a `pino.extreme` destination.
|
||
|
||
This is an asynchronous, fire and forget, operation.
|
||
|
||
The use case is primarily for Extreme mode logging, which may hold up to
|
||
4KiB of logs. The `logger.flush` method can be used to flush the logs
|
||
on an long interval, say ten seconds. Such a strategy can provide an
|
||
optimium balance between extremely efficient logging at high demand periods
|
||
and safer logging at low demand periods.

|
||
<a id="level"></a>
|
||
### `logger.level` (String) [Getter/Setter]
|
||
|
||
Set this property to the desired logging level.
|
||
|
||
The core levels and their values are as follows:
|
||
|
||
| | | | | | | | |
|
||
|:-----------|-------|-------|------|------|-------|-------|---------:|
|
||
| **Level:** | trace | debug | info | warn | error | fatal | silent |
|
||
| **Value:** | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | Infinity |
|
||
|
||
The logging level is a *minimum* level based on the associated value of that level.
|
||
|
||
For instance if `logger.level` is `info` *(30)* then `info` *(30)*, `warn` *(40)*, `error` *(50)* and `fatal` *(60)* log methods will be enabled but the `trace` *(10)* and `debug` *(20)* methods, being less than 30, will not.
|
||
|
||
The `silent` logging level is a specialized level which will disable all logging,
|
||
there is no `silent` log method.
|
||
|
||
<a id="islevelenabled"></a>
|
||
### `logger.isLevelEnabled(level)`
|
||
|
||
A utility method for determining if a given log level will write to the destination.
|
||
|
||
#### `level` (String)
|
||
|
||
The given level to check against:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
if (logger.isLevelEnabled('debug')) logger.debug('conditional log')
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### `levelLabel` (String)
|
||
|
||
Defines the method name of the new level.
|
||
|
||
* See [`logger.level`](#level)
|
||
|
||
#### `levelValue` (Number)
|
||
|
||
Defines the associated minimum threshold value for the level, and
|
||
therefore where it sits in order of priority among other levels.
|
||
|
||
* See [`logger.level`](#level)
|
||
|
||
<a id="levelVal"></a>
|
||
### `logger.levelVal` (Number)
|
||
|
||
Supplies the integer value for the current logging level.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
if (logger.levelVal === 30) {
|
||
console.log('logger level is `info`')
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<a id="levels"></a>
|
||
### `logger.levels` (Object)
|
||
|
||
Levels are mapped to values to determine the minimum threshold that a
|
||
logging method should be enabled at (see [`logger.level`](#level)).
|
||
|
||
The `logger.levels` property holds the mappings between levels and values,
|
||
and vice versa.
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
$ node -p "require('pino')().levels"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
{ labels:
|
||
{ '10': 'trace',
|
||
'20': 'debug',
|
||
'30': 'info',
|
||
'40': 'warn',
|
||
'50': 'error',
|
||
'60': 'fatal' },
|
||
values:
|
||
{ fatal: 60, error: 50, warn: 40, info: 30, debug: 20, trace: 10 } }
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
* See [`logger.level`](#level)
|
||
|
||
<a id="serializers"></a>
|
||
### logger\[Symbol.for('pino.serializers')\]
|
||
|
||
Returns the serializers as applied to the current logger instance. If a child logger did not
|
||
register it's own serializer upon instantiation the serializers of the parent will be returned.
|
||
|
||
<a id="level-change"></a>
|
||
### Event: 'level-change'
|
||
|
||
The logger instance is also an [`EventEmitter ⇗`](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/docs/api/events.html#events_class_eventemitter)
|
||
|
||
A listener function can be attached to a logger via the `level-change` event
|
||
|
||
The listener is passed four arguments:
|
||
|
||
* `levelLabel` – the new level string, e.g `trace`
|
||
* `levelValue` – the new level number, e.g `10`
|
||
* `previousLevelLabel` – the prior level string, e.g `info`
|
||
* `previousLevelValue` – the prior level numbebr, e.g `30`
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const logger = require('pino')()
|
||
logger.on('level-change', (lvl, val, prevLvl, prevVal) => {
|
||
console.log('%s (%d) was changed to %s (%d)', lvl, val, prevLvl, prevVal)
|
||
})
|
||
logger.level = 'trace' // trigger event
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<a id="version"></a>
|
||
### `logger.version` (String)
|
||
|
||
Exposes the Pino package version. Also available on the exported `pino` function.
|
||
|
||
* See [`pino.version`](#pino-version)
|
||
|
||
<a id="log_version"></a>
|
||
### `logger.LOG_VERSION` (Number)
|
||
|
||
Holds the current log format version as output in the `v` property of each log record.
|
||
Also available on the exported `pino` function.
|
||
|
||
* See [`pino.LOG_VERSION`](#pino-LOG_VERSION)

<a id="pino-destination"></a>
|
||
### `pino.destination([target]) => SonicBoom`
|
||
|
||
Create a Pino Destination instance: a stream-like object with
|
||
significantly more throughput (over 30%) than a standard Node.js stream.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const pino = require('pino')
|
||
const logger = pino(pino.destination('./my-file'))
|
||
const logger2 = pino(pino.destination())
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The `pino.destination` method may be passed a file path or a numerical file descriptor.
|
||
By default, `pino.destination` will use `process.stdout.fd` (1) as the file descriptor.
|
||
|
||
`pino.destination` is implemented on [`sonic-boom` ⇗](https://github.com/mcollina/sonic-boom).
|
||
|
||
A `pino.destination` instance can also be used to reopen closed files
|
||
(for example, for some log rotation scenarios), see [Reopening log files](/docs/help.md#reopening).
|
||
|
||
* See [`destination` parameter](#destination)
|
||

|
||
|
||
<a id="pino-extreme"></a>
|
||
### `pino.extreme([target]) => SonicBoom`
|
||
|
||
Create an extreme mode destination. This yields an additional 60% performance boost.
|
||
There are trade-offs that should be understood before usage.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const pino = require('pino')
|
||
const logger = pino(pino.extreme('./my-file'))
|
||
const logger2 = pino(pino.extreme())
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The `pino.extreme` method may be passed a file path or a numerical file descriptor.
|
||
By default, `pino.extreme` will use `process.stdout.fd` (1) as the file descriptor.
|
||
|
||
`pino.extreme` is implemented with the [`sonic-boom` ⇗](https://github.com/mcollina/sonic-boom)
|
||
module.
|
||
|
||
A `pino.extreme` instance can also be used to reopen closed files
|
||
(for example, for some log rotation scenarios), see [Reopening log files](/docs/help.md#reopening).
|
||
|
||
On AWS Lambda we recommend to call `extreme.flushSync()` at the end
|
||
of each function execution to avoid losing data.

<a id="pino-final"></a>
|
||
|
||
### `pino.final(logger, [handler]) => Function | FinalLogger`
|
||
|
||
The `pino.final` method can be used to acquire a final logger instance
|
||
or create an exit listener function.
|
||
|
||
The `finalLogger` is a specialist logger that synchronously flushes
|
||
on every write. This is important to guarantee final log writes,
|
||
both when using `pino.extreme` target.
|
||
|
||
Since final log writes cannot be guaranteed with normal Node.js streams,
|
||
if the `destination` parameter of the `logger` supplied to `pino.final`
|
||
is a Node.js stream `pino.final` will throw.
|
||
|
||
The use of `pino.final` with `pino.destination` is not needed, as
|
||
`pino.destination` writes things synchronously.
|
||
|
||
#### `pino.final(logger, handler) => Function`
|
||
|
||
In this case the `pino.final` method supplies an exit listener function that can be
|
||
supplied to process exit events such as `exit`, `uncaughtException`,
|
||
`SIGHUP` and so on.
|
||
|
||
The exit listener function will call the supplied `handler` function
|
||
with an error object (or else `null`), a `finalLogger` instance followed
|
||
by any additional arguments the `handler` may be called with.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
process.on('uncaughtException', pino.final(logger, (err, finalLogger) => {
|
||
finalLogger.error(err, 'uncaughtException')
|
||
process.exit(1)
|
||
}))
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### `pino.final(logger) => FinalLogger`
|
||
|
||
In this case the `pino.final` method returns a finalLogger instance.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
var finalLogger = pino.final(logger)
|
||
finalLogger.info('exiting...')
|
||
```

<a id="pino-stdserializers"></a>
|
||
### `pino.stdSerializers` (Object)
|
||
|
||
The `pino.stdSerializers` object provides functions for serializing objects common to many projects. The standard serializers are directly imported from [pino-std-serializers](https://github.com/pinojs/pino-std-serializers).
|
||
|
||
* See [pino-std-serializers ⇗](https://github.com/pinojs/pino-std-serializers)
|

|
||
<a id="pino-stdtimefunctions"></a>
|
||
### `pino.stdTimeFunctions` (Object)
|
||
|
||
The [`timestamp`](#opt-timestamp) option can accept a function which determines the
|
||
`timestamp` value in a log line.
|
||
|
||
The `pino.stdTimeFunctions` object provides a very small set of common functions for generating the
|
||
`timestamp` property. These consist of the following
|
||
|
||
* `pino.stdTimeFunctions.epochTime`: Milliseconds since Unix epoch (Default)
|
||
* `pino.stdTimeFunctions.unixTime`: Seconds since Unix epoch
|
||
* `pino.stdTimeFunctions.nullTime`: Clears timestamp property (Used when `timestamp: false`)
|
||
* `pino.stdTimeFunctions.isoTime`: ISO 8601-formatted time in UTC
|
||
|
||
* See [`timestamp` option](#opt-timestamp)
|
||
|
||
<a id="pino-symbols"></a>
|
||
### `pino.symbols` (Object)
|
||
|
||
For integration purposes with ecosystem and third party libraries `pino.symbols`
|
||
exposes the symbols used to hold non-public state and methods on the logger instance.
|
||
|
||
Access to the symbols allows logger state to be adjusted, and methods to be overridden or
|
||
proxied for performant integration where necessary.
|
||
|
||
The `pino.symbols` object is intended for library implementers and shouldn't be utilized
|
||
for general use.
|
||
|
||
<a id="pino-version"></a>
|
||
### `pino.version` (String)
|
||
|
||
Exposes the Pino package version. Also available on the logger instance.
|
||
|
||
* See [`logger.version`](#version)
|
||
|
||
<a id="pino-log_version"></a>
|
||
### `pino.LOG_VERSION` (Number)
|
||
|
||
Holds the current log format version as output in the `v` property of each log record. Also available on the logger instance.
|
||
|
||
* See [`logger.LOG_VERSION`](#log_version)
