Node: Automatic Context

[binarylogic]

All of our libraries include automatic context to help identify where the logs are coming from. Critical pieces of data are:

1. hostname
2. pid

It should look something like this:

{
  "level": "info",
  "message": "Hello world",
  "context": {
    "system": {
      "hostname": "my.host.com",
      "ip": "123.3.34.33",
      "pid": 123432432
    }
}

The structure of context doesn't really matter. Timber no longer cares about a consistent schema, but this is the schema we use in our other libraries.

Let me know if we're missing anything else that might be relevant for the Node environment.
