The name of the game is visibility and debugging right knowing what you're trying to fix yeah. One thing I really love seeing coming to my logs is that somebody tried to access WP admin and got a failureYeah That's the other thing is like bot logs as well so bots will try to hit common end points or submit forms with with random data. It went on for about six or seven hours until I jumped in and go oh like this form should probably have a have a capture on it so that the bot can't do that.

In this Hasty Treat, Scott and Wes talk about the reasons why you should log errors, how it’s not just for debugging, where to save logs, and apps and packages to help with logging.
