How do I have my output (when using the JSONFormatter) output the level name (e.g. info) in the level field, rather than the level constant value (e.g. 200)? My log management tools don't understand the numeric levels so don't display the logs properly.

I tried using a processor to copy the level_name value to level but this caused other handlers/formatters etc which used the level value to error.
