if use TypeScript. Have to set interface at generics. see winstonjs/winston#1523

import * as gke_formatter from 'winston-gke-formatter'

logger = <gke_formatter.StackDriverLoggingLeveledLogger>winston.createLogger({
    levels: gke_formatter.StackDriverLoggingConfig.levels,
    format: winston.format.combine(
        gke_formatter.severity(),
        winston.format.json()
    ),
    transports: [
         new winston.transports.Console()
