New guide at /guides/pino-logger: how to set up the Pino logger in a Node.js service, configure it for production, log HTTP requests, and correlate each line with its trace.

Search intent: people looking for a practical Pino tutorial (install, levels, pino-pretty, transports, pino-http, Fastify), with a short definition first.

What the page covers

  • Definition, plus a diagram of where a log line goes: straight to a destination, through a transport worker thread, and with OpenTelemetry also to the log SDK and Maple. Colors (main thread, worker, destination, OpenTelemetry) are reused in the badges, headings and the highlighted trace fields.
  • First log line in ES modules / CommonJS / TypeScript tabs, log levels with a severity-colored table, child loggers.
  • Production setup: redaction and serializers, pino-pretty in development only, transports with targets, and sync / async / buffered destinations.
  • HTTP request logs in Express (pino-http, quietReqLogger) / Fastify tabs.
  • Trace IDs: the OpenTelemetry Node.js SDK setup, the correlated output line, what the exported record contains, disableLogSending, and the BatchLogRecordProcessor options-object callout.
  • Maple steps (ingest key, Logs page, log detail, trace) with three screenshot slots under /screenshots/guides/pino-logger-0N-*.webp.
  • Pino vs Winston table and an FAQ.
  • guide-highlight.ts gains javascript, json and shell (additive; existing languages unchanged).

Maple docs linked: /docs/guides/instrumentation-nodejs (log correlation, environment variables), /docs/explore/logs.

Verified on Node 26.0.0 with pino 10.4.0, pino-pretty 13.2.0, pino-http 11.0.0, express 5.3.0, fastify 5.12.7, @opentelemetry/sdk-node 0.223.0, auto-instrumentations-node 0.81.2 (instrumentation-pino 0.69.0), sdk-logs 0.223.0, TypeScript 7.0.2. Every snippet was run. The OTel setup was run against a local OTLP capture server: /v1/logs, /v1/traces and /v1/metrics all arrive with the auth header, the exported records carry the message and fields without hostname/trace_id, and disableLogSending: true keeps the trace IDs on stdout and stops /v1/logs. The positional new BatchLogRecordProcessor(exporter) form exports nothing at sdk-logs 0.223.0, as the callout says.

Sources: getpino.io API, transports, redaction and asynchronous logging docs; the pino-pretty, pino-http and Winston READMEs; the Fastify logging reference; the instrumentation-pino package page.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a comprehensive Pino logging guide for Node.js, covering configuration, log levels, redaction, transports, HTTP integrations, trace correlation, and log exploration.
    • Added the Pino guide to the guides listing and AI-readable guide index.
    • Expanded guide code highlighting for JavaScript, JSON, and shell snippets.
    • Added package-manager installation tabs and support for custom tab groups in documentation.

🔴 Missing dev transport breaks production startup

When production omits dev dependencies and leaves NODE_ENV unset, prettySnippet loads the unavailable pino-pretty transport. The logger fails to start.

Learn more

The install command puts pino-pretty in dev dependencies, which production installations commonly omit. The sample creates a transport unless NODE_ENV equals production; leaving the variable unset selects the missing package. Pino cannot initialize that transport, so the sample service cannot start.

Example: Install with npm install --omit=dev and start the app with no NODE_ENV. The app requests pino-pretty, although that package was omitted.

Recommended fix: Enable the pretty transport only when NODE_ENV === "development"; use JSON output otherwise.

🟨 Request credentials leak into Express logs

For authenticated requests, expressSnippet logs headers without redaction. The default pino-http request serializer includes authorization and cookie headers, exposing credentials in collected logs.

Fill the final card at the xl breakpoint.

coreGuides now has seven entries. At xl, the grid has three columns, but the existing odd-count rule only applies md:col-span-2. The Pino card therefore spans two columns and leaves one empty cell. Add xl:col-span-3 to preserve the intended full-width final card.

Proposed fix
-                                index === coreGuides.length - 1 && coreGuides.length % 2 === 1 && "md:col-span-2",
+                                index === coreGuides.length - 1 && coreGuides.length % 2 === 1 && "md:col-span-2 xl:col-span-3",

Redact the Set-Cookie response header in the Express example.

The pino-http default response serializer writes res.headers. A response that sets a session cookie therefore writes the set-cookie value to the request completed line in clear text. The redact list covers only request headers. The note on Line 193 says the redaction exists because the serializers log every header, so the guide should also cover the response side. Readers copy this example into apps with sessions.

Make the CLI commands match the selected module format.

If a reader creates app.mjs or app.cjs from the setup tabs, these commands try to run app.ts instead. Node cannot find that file. Show the matching filename for each module format, or tell readers to replace app.ts with their selected filename.

Covers the standard levels, logger vs handler levels and propagation, setting the level from argparse, LOG_LEVEL and dictConfig, per-module levels, custom levels and getLevelNamesMapping, and how levels interact with the OpenTelemetry LoggingHandler. Fixes the Python instrumentation doc, which suggested basicConfig after the handler is attached, where it is a no-op.
Short H1, five grouped sections, a diagram of how a record passes the
logger level, propagates and meets each handler's level, level colors
shared with Maple's severity palette, and highlighted code throughout.
The ways to set the level sit in tabs; the OpenTelemetry section uses the
LoggingHandler from opentelemetry-instrumentation-logging.

LanguageTabs takes an optional storage group so non-language tabs don't
overwrite the remembered language. The guide highlighter gains a console
mode and more Python keywords.
Lead with what a level is, the five levels with an example each and how
basicConfig sets one. Drop the numeric values, dictConfig, the -v flag,
runtime switching and the propagation diagram; keep handler levels as one
short section before OpenTelemetry.
Covers install, sinks with rotation/retention/compression, levels,
formatting, serialize=True JSON, bind/contextualize, logger.catch,
enqueue for async and multiprocessing, the InterceptHandler recipe,
and a Loguru sink that forwards records to the OpenTelemetry
LoggingHandler so logs keep their trace context.
… OpenTelemetry

Six sections with a record-path diagram for the OpenTelemetry bridge, one
color per system (Loguru, logging, OpenTelemetry) in badges, the diagram and
code, script vs FastAPI/uvicorn tabs for the intercept, and highlighted code
via the shared guide highlighter (adds json, python-logging, loguru-output).
Plain-words intro, copy buttons on every code block, and shorter sections:
the multiprocessing, flat-JSON sink and uvicorn detours are gone, and the
OpenTelemetry bridge rules move into code comments and one callout.
…ng levels guide

The OpenTelemetry section now installs, configures and runs a complete
logs-only telemetry.py for any OTLP backend, with Maple as the example.
Drop the severity mapping, shorten the basicConfig callout and add copy
buttons to every code block.
A plain intro, install and first log line as one step, and an OpenTelemetry
section with a complete telemetry.py, a run with real output and what the
lines look like in Maple, without depending on the Python docs guide.
