Node JS PM2 SyntaxError: Unexpected token import

Question

I have a node application that runs on Docker and Kubernetes is used for managing the pods. When I deploy a new version, it will restart and create a new pod. Now I have added some logger messages to my application and deployed them and when I list the pods, it is showing that status as CrashLoopBackOff for my application. Now when I checked the logs for that particular pod as shown below, it is saying there is an error with PM2 and it shows as follows:

server01:my-user-name ~ $  kubectl logs -f my-app-6876fc9c4c-tbfd8 -n name-space --tail 2000

Now I removed my logger messages and deployed them again, but the error still persists. How can I fix this ?
