[Bugreport] (Nodejs8/standard env) console.debug() is logged without severity flag

[Jakub Bouček]

In App Engine Nodejs8 for Standard environment is console.debug() logged without Severity flag.

Severity flag should be set to DEBUG. 

Compare with logged row of console.log() function.

Are you referencing to this documentation, where the logs severity available are INFO and ERROR? If so, this is intended behavior as of now.

Would you require to have a console.debug() logged as Severity: Debug, same as the Python counterpart?

If so, this is a feature request which you would be able to file in the Public Issue Tracker as a feature request under the App Engine:

As a workaround, you could try using the Node.js Packages logging library available for Google Cloud Platform Service APIs or using the Bunyan/Winston plugins.
