This project aims to make bunyan logs more readable. It is meant to produce output for humans and not machines.

{
  "name": "name",
  "hostname": "hostname",
  "pid": "pid",
  "level": "level",
  "msg": "msg",
  "time": "time",
  "v": "log_version",
  "custom_field": "whatever"
}

name[hostname/pid]: name(level): msg=msg custom_field=whatever

Note: name(level) turns log level codes into level names e.g. 30 into info

$ npm install bunyan-readable -g

Now you can pipe bunyan output to `bunyan-readable'

$ node yourscript.js | bunyan-readable
