override Nodejs console to add the line the function were called

Question

is there a way to send the line and file a console function has been called?

i got an app with many console log and console error in it. thats a good thing for me, the problem is i need to know from where they came from.

i tried override console.error and add console.trace inside but that just created a recursive call to console error(i guess they both triggered by process strerr)

here is what i have tried

const tempConsoleError = console.error.bind(console);
console.error = function (err) {
    console.log('i am in error')
  
    tempConsoleError(err);
    
    console.trace()
};
console.error('error string ')
