+        "user": "postgres",
+        "database": "test-database",
+        "password": "",
+        "port": "",
+        "host": "127.0.0.1"
+    },
+    "table": "logs",
+    "columns": {
+        "level": "level",
+        "time": "time",
+        "pid": "pid",
+        "hostname": "hostname",
+        "msg": "msg",
+        "v": "v"

+The `connection` field contains the [node-pg connection information](https://node-postgres.com/features/connecting#Programmatic).
+The `table` field is the table where you want to store logs.
+The `columns` field allows you to custom PostgreSQL column name for each pino field. Key is pino field, value is column name.
