Usage

The way you import the pino and @openobserve/pino-openobserve packages depends on whether you're using import or require.

Using import:

import pino from 'pino';
import OpenobserveTransport from '@openobserve/pino-openobserve';

Using require:

const pino = require('pino');
const OpenobserveTransport = require('@openobserve/pino-openobserve');

After importing the necessary packages, you can use this transport with Pino like this:

const logger = pino({
  level: 'info',
  transport: {
    target: OpenobserveTransport,
    options: {
      url: 'https://your-openobserve-server.com',
      organization: 'your-organization',
      streamName: 'your-stream',
      auth: {
        username: 'your-username',
        password: 'your-password',
      },
    },
  },
});

logger.info('Hello, world!');
logger.info({ lang: 'js', code: 'Node.js' }, 'Logging with JSON');

In this example, the second logger.info call logs a JSON object containing the properties lang and code, along with the message 'Logging with JSON'. This is a common way to include structured data in your logs when using Pino.
