Send logs to Sumo Logic in Node.js using LogLayer

Sumo Logic's Javascript/Node.js support is limited, prompting a need for alternative logging solutions. LogLayer, a modern Typescript logging library, offers a robust alternative. It provides a developer-friendly API for structured logging, supporting various logging libraries like Pino and Winston. LogLayer simplifies logging with metadata and context, enhancing log clarity and traceability. Error handling is improved through seamless error serialization. Integration with Sumo Logic is achieved through LogLayer's Sumo Logic Transport. This transport requires creating an HTTP source in Sumo Logic and installing the necessary packages. Proper error serialization is crucial for successful Sumo Logic integration using serialize-error. The LogLayer documentation provides further details on usage and configuration. Using LogLayer effectively addresses the shortcomings of existing Sumo Logic integration methods. It simplifies sending logs to Sumo Logic without relying on Open Telemetry.
