Improve documentation on global logging level with multiple targets
Opened this issue · 4 comments
The "global" level
setting isn't taken into account when transport.targets
parameter is provided - each target has its own level that defaults to info
(as mentioned here). That might be a bit confusing and should probably be mentioned in the documentation.
For example originally having this config:
const logger = pino({
level: 'debug',
transport: {
target: 'pino-pretty',
},
})
logger.trace('trace') # Doesn't appear
logger.debug('debug')
logger.info('info')
logger.warn('warn')
logger.error('error')
logger.fatal('fatal')
If I switch to the following, I'd lose debug
logs:
const logger = pino({
level: 'debug',
transport: {
targets: [{ target: 'pino-pretty' }],
},
})
logger.trace('trace') # Doesn't appear
logger.debug('debug') # Doesn't appear
logger.info('info')
logger.warn('warn')
logger.error('error')
logger.fatal('fatal')
I appreciate that this might be an expected behaviour, but I'd expect this to be documented explicitly - I couldn't find the mention of it, unless I didn't look in the right place or I somehow missed it? It took me some time to figure out what's happening - it only started making sense when I've found the comment in the GitHub issue linked above.
Would you like to send a Pull Request to address this issue?
Sure, will create one soon.
