Please allow changing label/prefix/serviceContext in child loggers

[garyo]

Winston allows setting up a main logger and then creating child loggers for logging in specific modules, contexts, etc.:

const myLogger = logger.child({service: 'myService') // sets Winston 'service' metadata item on all logs

As far as I can see, there's no way to change LoggingWinston transport options such as label, prefix, or serviceContext when creating a child logger. It would be very useful to be able to do that.

I realize that these are transport options, so it would probably have to be a LoggingWinston factory method that the user would call rather than logger.child(); perhaps const myLogger = LoggingWinston.createChild(logger, {serviceContext: {service: 'myService'}}) or something. That would find the LoggingWinston transport(s) used by that logger and clone them for the child.

any news on this or workarounds?
