Better Stack Pino transport

Start logging in 3 steps

1. Install

Install the @logtail/pino npm package:

npm install @logtail/pino

2. Set up

Set up the Pino logger with the Better Stack transport:

const token = '$SOURCE_TOKEN'; 
const pino = require('pino');
const transport = pino.transport({
  target: "@logtail/pino",
  options: {
    sourceToken: token,
    options: { endpoint: 'https://$INGESTING_HOST' },
  },
});
const logger = pino(transport);

3. Start logging

Use the Pino logger as usual:

logger.error("Something bad happened.");
logger.info({
    item: "Orange Soda",
    price: 100.00
}, "Log message with structured logging. ->");

You should see your logs in Better Stack → Live tail.
