How do I change my node winston JSON output to be single line

Question

When I create a nodejs winston console logger and set json:true, it always output JSON logs in multiline format. If I pipe these to a file and try to grep that file

Answer 1

On "winston": "^3.2.1"

This is works great for me

const {createLogger, format} = require('winston');

// instantiate a new Winston Logger with the settings defined above
var logger = createLogger({

    format: format.combine(
      format.timestamp(),
      // format.timestamp({format:'MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss.SSS'}),
      format.json(),
      format.printf(info => {
        return `${info.timestamp} [${info.level}] : ${info.message}`;
      })
  ),
  transports: [
    new winston.transports.File(options.file),
    new winston.transports.Console(options.console)
  ],
  exitOnError: false, // do not exit on handled exceptions
});
