Basic log type

To be pretty printable the basic json line needs to have:

Either:

1. A PinoJS log message

/** Base log object every log object should have at minimum these three keys */
export interface LogMessage extends Record<string, any> {
    /** Log level */
    level: number;
    /** Time stamp either a ISO8601 string, timestamp number in ms or a Date */
    time: number | string | Date;
    /** Log message */
    msg: string;
}

2. A OpenTelemetry Log Message

export interface LogMessageOpenTelemetry {
    /** Timestamp in nanoseconds if a string, or ms if a number */
    Timestamp: number | string
    /** Message body */
    Body?: unknown;
    Resource?: Record<string, unknown>;
    Attributes?: Record<string, unknown>;
}
