[Design] How to Design Logging

Logging

Conecting between information and knowledge.

  1. Information: it’s just bits
  2. Knowledge: drives product direction

Logging is all about Event

Q1. shall we log it live? what should we log? how to do it (on different platforms)?

Not live. Do it asynchronously.

Demand and product design drives logging.

Logs represent event, so all your logging should be based around the events.

eg. who click the button, the user ID, but do not log the age, because you can find it somewhere else!

Think about “what” to log and “why”

“How” is just coding. Happy Logging!
