Log Thoughtfully for Searchability
Logging serves as a reliable and accessible means of extracting information from applications, consistently being available for use. While other observability tools like distributed tracing offer unique capabilities, logging's permanence should not be overlooked. It is crucial to ensure that log entries contain searchable information, aiding in efficient error tracking. Furthermore, when formulating error messages, they should be unique within the application to simplify identification; this ensures that a search for an error message directs to a singular, relevant location. Clear structuring and thoughtful crafting of both logs and error messages enhance application maintainability and debugging processes.
