How can I use pino-socket with pino-syslog?

[bmaupin]

I have a test app:

'use strict';

const pino = require('pino');
const transports = pino.transport({
  targets: [
    {
      target: 'pino-syslog',
    },
    {
      target: 'pino-socket',
      options: {
        address: '127.0.0.1',
        port: 5140,
        mode: 'tcp',
      },
    },
  ],
});
const logger = pino(transports);

logger.error('Test message');

When I run it, the syslog-formatted message logs to stdout:

<131>1 2021-09-28T19:15:09Z bmaupin-laptop - 218252 - - {"level":50,"time":1632856509189,"pid":218252,"hostname":"workstation","msg":"Test message"}

And the syslog server instead receives an unformatted log:

$ nc -kl 5140
{"level":50,"time":1632856509189,"pid":218252,"hostname":"workstation","msg":"Test message"}

These are the package versions I'm using:

    "pino": "^7.0.0-rc.7",
    "pino-socket": "^4.0.0",
    "pino-syslog": "github:Eomm/pino-syslog#pino-7",

Thanks!

I think we need to change how pino-syslog work with this module. Instead of combining them via unix pipes, we should just add one as the dependency of the other.

Thanks for the feedback!

I would say you should be able to chain/compose transports.

i'll work on this!

Here is the first step: pinojs/pino-abstract-transport#25
