Systemd example
If you run your Node.js process via Systemd and you examine your logs with journalctl some data will be duplicated. You can use a combination of journalctl options and pino-pretty options to shape the output.
For example viewing the prettified logs of a process named monitor with journalctl -u monitor -f | pino-pretty, might output something like this:
Apr 24 07:40:01 nanopi node[6080]: {"level":30,"time":1587706801902,"pid":6080,"hostname":"nanopi","msg":"TT
21","v":1}
As you can see, the timestamp, hostname, and pid are duplicated.
If you just want the bare prettified Pino logs you can strip out the duplicate items from the journalctl output with the -o cat option of journalctl:
journalctl -u monitor -f -o cat | pino-pretty
the output now looks something like this:
[1587706801902] INFO (6080 on nanopi): TT 21
Make the output even more human readable by using the pino-pretty options -t to format the timestamp and -i pid, hostname to filter out hostname and pid:
[2020-04-24 05:42:24.836 +0000] INFO : TT 21
