Unfortunately we can't do this without breaking a ton of other stuff that depends on it

Can Pino be configured to move that property to a different key?

Unfortunately, pino does not allow this. On a related note it seems railway is swallowing the severity key.

I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about this at the moment, sorry. Tweaking the way we present log level may introduce breaking changes and we're unable to prioritize such a change at this time.

We convert severity into the log level internally so they're treated as level.

Would you be able to transform the numerical values into their corresponding labels (10=DEBUG, 20=INFO, ...)? I'm not familiar with Pino in particular, but loggers generally allow you to transform their output via a formatter or a similar primitive.

Made the change and railway now shows the proper log level. Ideally it would simply infer the level and not override it, but this works too. All I did was add this to the pino config:

const logger = pino({
  formatters: {
    level(label) {
      return { level: label };
    },
  },
});

Nice!

Yep we'll look into why numerical values don't translate into their appropriate labels. Thanks
