# Transports
Pino transports can be used for both transmitting and transforming log output.
The way Pino generates logs:
1. Reduces the impact of logging on an application to the absolute minimum.
2. Gives greater flexibility in how logs are processed and stored.
It is recommended that any log transformation or transmission is performed either
in a separate thread or a separate process.
Before Pino v7 transports would ideally operate in a separate process - these are
now referred to as [Legacy Transports](#legacy-transports).
From Pino v7 and upwards transports can also operate inside a [Worker Thread][worker-thread]
and can be used or configured via the options object passed to `pino` on initialization.
In this case the transports would always operate asynchronously, and logs would be
flushed as quickly as possible (there is nothing to do).
[worker-thread]: https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v14.x/docs/api/worker_threads.html
## v7+ Transports
A transport is a module that exports a default function that returns a writable stream:
```js
import { createWriteStream } from 'fs'
export default (options) => {
return createWriteStream(options.destination)
}
```
Let's imagine the above defines our "transport" as the file `my-transport.mjs`
(ESM files are supported even if the project is written in CJS).
We would set up our transport by creating a transport stream with `pino.transport`
and passing it to the `pino` function:
```js
const pino = require('pino')
const transport = pino.transport({
target: '/absolute/path/to/my-transport.mjs'
})
pino(transport)
```
The transport code will be executed in a separate worker thread. The main thread
will write logs to the worker thread, which will write them to the stream returned
from the function exported from the transport file/module.
The exported function can also be async. If we use an async function we can throw early
if the transform could not be opened. As an example:
```js
import fs from 'fs'
import { once } from 'events'
export default async (options) => {
const stream = fs.createWriteStream(options.destination)
await once(stream, 'open')
return stream
}
```
While initializing the stream we're able to use `await` to perform asynchronous operations. In this
case, waiting for the write streams `open` event.
Let's imagine the above was published to npm with the module name `some-file-transport`.
The `options.destination` value can be set when creating the transport stream with `pino.transport` like so:
```js
const pino = require('pino')
const transport = pino.transport({
target: 'some-file-transport',
options: { destination: '/dev/null' }
})
pino(transport)
```
Note here we've specified a module by package rather than by relative path. The options object we provide
is serialized and injected into the transport worker thread, then passed to the module's exported function.
This means that the options object can only contain types that are supported by the
[Structured Clone Algorithm][sca] which is used to (de)serialize objects between threads.
What if we wanted to use both transports, but send only error logs to `some-file-transport` while
sending all logs to `my-transport.mjs`? We can use the `pino.transport` function's `destinations` option:
```js
const pino = require('pino')
const transport = pino.transport({
targets: [
{ target: '/absolute/path/to/my-transport.mjs', level: 'error' },
{ target: 'some-file-transport', options: { destination: '/dev/null' }}
]
})
pino(transport)
```
If we're using custom levels, they should be passed in when using more than one transport.
```js
const pino = require('pino')
const transport = pino.transport({
targets: [
{ target: '/absolute/path/to/my-transport.mjs', level: 'error' },
{ target: 'some-file-transport', options: { destination: '/dev/null' }
],
levels: { foo: 35 }
})
pino(transport)
```
It is also possible to use the `dedupe` option to send logs only to the stream with the higher level.
```js
const pino = require('pino')
const transport = pino.transport({
targets: [
{ target: '/absolute/path/to/my-transport.mjs', level: 'error' },
{ target: 'some-file-transport', options: { destination: '/dev/null' }
],
dedupe: true
})
pino(transport)
```
For more details on `pino.transport` see the [API docs for `pino.transport`][pino-transport].

<a id="writing"></a>
### Writing a Transport
The module [pino-abstract-transport](https://github.com/pinojs/pino-abstract-transport) provides
a simple utility to parse each line. Its usage is highly recommended.
You can see an example using an async iterator with ESM:
```js
import build from 'pino-abstract-transport'
import SonicBoom from 'sonic-boom'
import { once } from 'events'
export default async function (opts) {
// SonicBoom is necessary to avoid loops with the main thread.
// It is the same of pino.destination().
const destination = new SonicBoom({ dest: opts.destination || 1, sync: false })
await once(destination, 'ready')
return build(async function (source) {
for await (let obj of source) {
const toDrain = !destination.write(obj.msg.toUpperCase() + '\n')
// This block will handle backpressure
if (toDrain) {
await once(destination, 'drain')
}
}
}, {
async close (err) {
destination.end()
await once(destination, 'close')
}
})
}
```
or using Node.js streams and CommonJS:
```js
'use strict'
const build = require('pino-abstract-transport')
const SonicBoom = require('sonic-boom')
module.exports = function (opts) {
const destination = new SonicBoom({ dest: opts.destination || 1, sync: false })
return build(function (source) {
source.pipe(destination)
}, {
close (err, cb) {
destination.end()
destination.on('close', cb.bind(null, err))
}
})
}
```
(It is possible to use the async iterators with CommonJS and streams with ESM.)
To consume async iterators in batches, consider using the [hwp](https://github.com/mcollina/hwp) library.
The `close()` function is needed to make sure that the stream is closed and flushed when its
callback is called or the returned promise resolves. Otherwise, log lines will be lost.
### Writing to a custom transport & stdout
In case you want to both use a custom transport, and output the log entries with default processing to STDOUT, you can use 'pino/file' transport configured with `destination: 1`:
```js
const transports = [
{
target: 'pino/file',
options: { destination: 1 } // this writes to STDOUT
},
{
target: 'my-custom-transport',
options: { someParameter: true }
}
]
const logger = pino(pino.transport({ targets: transports })
```
### Creating a transport pipeline
As an example, the following transport returns a `Transform` stream:
```js
import build from 'pino-abstract-transport'
import { pipeline, Transform } from 'stream'
export default async function (options) {
return build(function (source) {
const myTransportStream = new Transform({
// Make sure autoDestroy is set,
// this is needed in Node v12 or when using the
// readable-stream module.
autoDestroy: true,
objectMode: true,
transform (chunk, enc, cb) {
// modifies the payload somehow
chunk.service = 'pino'
// stringify the payload again
this.push(`${JSON.stringify(chunk)}\n`)
cb()
}
})
pipeline(source, myTransportStream, () => {})
return myTransportStream
}, {
// This is needed to be able to pipeline transports.
enablePipelining: true
})
}
```
Then you can pipeline them with:
```js
import pino from 'pino'
const logger = pino({
transport: {
pipeline: [{
target: './my-transform.js'
}, {
// Use target: 'pino/file' with STDOUT descriptor 1 to write
// logs without any change.
target: 'pino/file',
options: { destination: 1 }
}]
}
})
logger.info('hello world')
```
__NOTE: there is no "default" destination for a pipeline but
a terminating target, i.e. a `Writable` stream.__
### TypeScript compatibility
Pino provides basic support for transports written in TypeScript.
Ideally, they should be transpiled to ensure maximum compatibility, but sometimes
you might want to use tools such as TS-Node, to execute your TypeScript
code without having to go through an explicit transpilation step.
You can use your TypeScript code without explicit transpilation, but there are
some known caveats:
- For "pure" TypeScript code, ES imports are still not supported (ES imports are
supported once the code is transpiled).
- Only TS-Node is supported for now, there's no TSM support.
- Running transports TypeScript code on TS-Node seems to be problematic on
Windows systems, there's no official support for that yet.
### Notable transports
#### `pino/file`
The `pino/file` transport routes logs to a file (or file descriptor).
The `options.destination` property may be set to specify the desired file destination.
```js
const pino = require('pino')
const transport = pino.transport({
target: 'pino/file',
options: { destination: '/path/to/file' }
})
pino(transport)
```
By default, the `pino/file` transport assumes the directory of the destination file exists. If it does not exist, the transport will throw an error when it attempts to open the file for writing. The `mkdir` option may be set to `true` to configure the transport to create the directory, if it does not exist, before opening the file for writing.
```js
const pino = require('pino')
const transport = pino.transport({
target: 'pino/file',
options: { destination: '/path/to/file', mkdir: true }
})
pino(transport)
```
By default, the `pino/file` transport appends to the destination file if it exists. The `append` option may be set to `false` to configure the transport to truncate the file upon opening it for writing.
```js
const pino = require('pino')
const transport = pino.transport({
target: 'pino/file',
options: { destination: '/path/to/file', append: false }
})
pino(transport)
```
The `options.destination` property may also be a number to represent a file descriptor. Typically this would be `1` to write to STDOUT or `2` to write to STDERR. If `options.destination` is not set, it defaults to `1` which means logs will be written to STDOUT. If `options.destination` is a string integer, e.g. `'1'`, it will be coerced to a number and used as a file descriptor. If this is not desired, provide a full path, e.g. `/tmp/1`.
The difference between using the `pino/file` transport builtin and using `pino.destination` is that `pino.destination` runs in the main thread, whereas `pino/file` sets up `pino.destination` in a worker thread.
#### `pino-pretty`
The [`pino-pretty`][pino-pretty] transport prettifies logs.
By default the `pino-pretty` builtin logs to STDOUT.
The `options.destination` property may be set to log pretty logs to a file descriptor or file. The following would send the prettified logs to STDERR:
```js
const pino = require('pino')
const transport = pino.transport({
target: 'pino-pretty',
options: { destination: 1 } // use 2 for stderr
})
pino(transport)
```
### Asynchronous startup
The new transports boot asynchronously and calling `process.exit()` before the transport
starts will cause logs to not be delivered.
```js
const pino = require('pino')
const transport = pino.transport({
targets: [
{ target: '/absolute/path/to/my-transport.mjs', level: 'error' },
{ target: 'some-file-transport', options: { destination: '/dev/null' } }
]
})
const logger = pino(transport)
logger.info('hello')
// If logs are printed before the transport is ready when process.exit(0) is called,
// they will be lost.
transport.on('ready', function () {
process.exit(0)
})
```
## Legacy Transports
A legacy Pino "transport" is a supplementary tool that consumes Pino logs.
Consider the following example for creating a transport:
```js
const { pipeline, Writable } = require('stream')
const split = require('split2')
const myTransportStream = new Writable({
write (chunk, enc, cb) {
// apply a transform and send to STDOUT
console.log(chunk.toString().toUpperCase())
cb()
}
})
pipeline(process.stdin, split(JSON.parse), myTransportStream)
```
The above defines our "transport" as the file `my-transport-process.js`.
Logs can now be consumed using shell piping:
```sh
node my-app-which-logs-stuff-to-stdout.js | node my-transport-process.js
```
Ideally, a transport should consume logs in a separate process to the application,
Using transports in the same process causes unnecessary load and slows down
Node's single-threaded event loop.

#### Logstash
The [pino-socket][pino-socket] module can also be used to upload logs to
[Logstash][logstash] via:
```
$ node app.js | pino-socket -a 127.0.0.1 -p 5000 -m tcp
```
Assuming logstash is running on the same host and configured as
follows:
```
input {
tcp {
port => 5000
}
}
filter {
json {
source => "message"
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => "127.0.0.1:9200"
}
}
```

### pino-stackdriver
The [pino-stackdriver](https://www.npmjs.com/package/pino-stackdriver) module is a transport that will forward logs to the [Google Stackdriver](https://cloud.google.com/logging/) log service through its API.
Given an application `foo` that logs via pino, a stackdriver log project `bar`, and credentials in the file `/credentials.json`, you would use `pino-stackdriver`
like so:
``` sh
$ node foo | pino-stackdriver --project bar --credentials /credentials.json
```
For full documentation of command line switches read [README](https://github.com/ovhemert/pino-stackdriver#readme)
<a id="pino-syslog"></a>
### pino-syslog
[pino-syslog][pino-syslog] is a transforming transport that converts
`pino` NDJSON logs to [RFC3164][rfc3164] compatible log messages. The `pino-syslog` module does not
forward the logs anywhere, it merely re-writes the messages to `stdout`. But
when used in combination with `pino-socket` the log messages can be relayed to a syslog server:
```sh
$ node app.js | pino-syslog | pino-socket -a syslog.example.com
```
Example output for the "hello world" log:
```
<134>Apr 1 16:44:58 MacBook-Pro-3 none[94473]: {"pid":94473,"hostname":"MacBook-Pro-3","level":30,"msg":"hello world","time":1459529098958}
```

### pino-opentelemetry-transport
[pino-opentelemetry-transport](https://www.npmjs.com/package/pino-opentelemetry-transport) is a transport that will forward logs to an [OpenTelemetry log collector](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/collector/) using [OpenTelemetry JS instrumentation](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/instrumentation/js/).
```javascript
const pino = require('pino')
const transport = pino.transport({
target: 'pino-opentelemetry-transport',
options: {
resourceAttributes: {
'service.name': 'test-service',
'service.version': '1.0.0'
}
}
})
pino(transport)
```

### @axiomhq/pino
[@axiomhq/pino](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@axiomhq/pino) is the official [Axiom](https://axiom.co/) transport for Pino, using [axiom-js](https://github.com/axiomhq/axiom-js).
```javascript
import pino from 'pino';
const logger = pino(
{ level: 'info' },
pino.transport({
target: '@axiomhq/pino',
options: {
dataset: process.env.AXIOM_DATASET,
token: process.env.AXIOM_TOKEN,
},
}),
);
```
then you can use the logger as usual:
```js
logger.info('Hello from pino!');
```

## Communication between Pino and Transports
Here we discuss some technical details of how Pino communicates with its [worker threads](https://nodejs.org/api/worker_threads.html).
Pino uses [`thread-stream`](https://github.com/pinojs/thread-stream) to create a stream for transports.
When we create a stream with `thread-stream`, `thread-stream` spawns a [worker](https://github.com/pinojs/thread-stream/blob/f19ac8dbd602837d2851e17fbc7dfc5bbc51083f/index.js#L50-L60) (an independent JavaScript execution thread).
### Error messages
How are error messages propagated from a transport worker to Pino?
Let's assume we have a transport with an error listener:
```js
// index.js
const transport = pino.transport({
target: './transport.js'
})
transport.on('error', err => {
console.error('error caught', err)
})
const log = pino(transport)
```
When our worker emits an error event, the worker has listeners for it: [error](https://github.com/pinojs/thread-stream/blob/f19ac8dbd602837d2851e17fbc7dfc5bbc51083f/lib/worker.js#L59-L70) and [unhandledRejection](https://github.com/pinojs/thread-stream/blob/f19ac8dbd602837d2851e17fbc7dfc5bbc51083f/lib/worker.js#L135-L141). These listeners send the error message to the main thread where Pino is present.
When Pino receives the error message, it further [emits](https://github.com/pinojs/thread-stream/blob/f19ac8dbd602837d2851e17fbc7dfc5bbc51083f/index.js#L349) the error message. Finally, the error message arrives at our `index.js` and is caught by our error listener.
