winston:how to change timestamp format

Question

I am using winston to add log details in node.js, i used the following procedure to add the logs

 var winston = require('winston');           winston.remove(winston.transports.Console);  winston.add(winston.transports.Console, {'timestamp':true,'colorize':true);  winston.log('info','jjjj'); 

the output that i got is

2012-12-21T09:32:05.428Z - info: jjjj 

I need to specify a format for mytimestamp , is there any provision to do so in winston any help will be much appreciated

Answer 1

The timestamp option can be a function that returns what you wish it to be saved as...

Line 4:

winston.add(winston.transports.Console, {'timestamp':function() {return '111111111'; },'colorize':true});

Answer 2

winston@3 version

winston.createLogger({   format: winston.format.combine(     winston.format.timestamp({format: 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss'}),     winston.format.prettyPrint()   ),   transports: [     new winston.transports.Console()   ] }) 

To support timezone, you need to change format to a function which winston will call.

const timezoned = () => {   return new Date().toLocaleString('en-US', {     timeZone: 'Asia/Shanghai'   }); };  const logger = createLogger({   format: combine(     timestamp({       format: timezonedTime     })   ),   transport: [     new transports.Console(),   ] });
