pino

npm version Build Status js-standard-style

Very low overhead Node.js logger.

Documentation

Install

$ npm install pino

If you would like to install pino v6, refer to https://github.com/pinojs/pino/tree/v6.x.

Usage

const logger = require('pino')()

logger.info('hello world')

const child = logger.child({ a: 'property' })
child.info('hello child!')

This produces:

{"level":30,"time":1531171074631,"msg":"hello world","pid":657,"hostname":"Davids-MBP-3.fritz.box"}
{"level":30,"time":1531171082399,"msg":"hello child!","pid":657,"hostname":"Davids-MBP-3.fritz.box","a":"property"}

Essentials

Development Formatting

The pino-pretty module can be used to format logs during development:

[pretty demo](pretty-demo.png)

Transports & Log Processing

Due to Node's single-threaded event-loop, it's highly recommended that sending, alert triggering, reformatting, and all forms of log processing are conducted in a separate process or thread.

In Pino terminology, we call all log processors "transports" and recommend that the transports be run in a worker thread using our pino.transport API.

For more details see our [Transports⇗](docs/transports.md) document.

Low overhead

Using minimum resources for logging is very important. Log messages tend to get added over time and this can lead to a throttling effect on applications – such as reduced requests per second.

In many cases, Pino is over 5x faster than alternatives.

See the [Benchmarks](docs/benchmarks.md) document for comparisons.

Bundling support

Pino supports being bundled using tools like webpack or esbuild.

See [Bundling](docs/bundling.md) document for more information.
