Integrate Structured Logging #123
Description
The default NestJS console logger is not suitable for production. We want to implement structured JSON logging using nestjs-pino to make searching and parsing logs in tools like Datadog or ELK much easier.
Acceptance Criteria
- Install
nestjs-pinoandpino-http. - Configure
LoggerModuleglobally inAppModule. - Replace the default NestJS logger in
main.tswith the Pino logger. - Ensure that local development logs are pretty-printed, while production logs are in raw JSON format.
Technical Details/Guide
Install dependencies: npm i nestjs-pino pino-http and npm i -D pino-pretty.
Configure in main.ts:
import { Logger } from 'nestjs-pino';
const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule, { bufferLogs: true });
app.useLogger(app.get(Logger));
