Some of the many reasons for using logging tools:
- Receive detailed information about what is happening in your code, making it easier to identify and fix bugs.
- Track changes to your code and understand how it is being used.
- Logging tools can provide information about the performance of your code, helping you identify bottlenecks and optimize performance.
- Logging tools can automatically report errors to you or a team, allowing for quick response to critical issues.
- Logging can help you meet regulatory requirements for auditing and security.
- Handle large amounts of data and easily integrate it into a centralized logging system, making it much more manageable to oversee logs across multiple servers and applications.
- Logging can be done at different levels, such as debug, info, warning, error, and critical, so you can filter out or focus on specific types of events.
