Prerequisites

Configure the Winston logging library and use json. For more information, see the Winston docs here.
Here's an example using Express:

    transports: [
        new winston.transports.Console()
    ],
    format: winston.format.combine(
        winston.format.json()
    )
}
const logger = new winston.createLogger(winstonOptions)
const requestLogger = expressWinston.logger(winstonOptions)
const errorLogger = expressWinston.errorLogger(winstonOptions)
