Just flew over the article, but it made me wonder: When I'm developing scripts for our workflow systems I'm often also "logging" successful events. It helps with looking how a process works but in the end I never remove that logging output.
I wonder how you people handle that. Do you also log "good events", for example when nothing happened just to be able to see everything went well?
- benmmurphy 7y agoIf you are not using something to aggregate statistics using something like prometheus or graphite then logging good events can be really useful in order to produce statistics by doing text processing on the logs. It can also be a good first step towards introducing something like prometheus or graphite. Once people can see the kind of insights into an app you can get from dumb logging and manual text processing it becomes easy to sell some kind of metrics recorder to the team.
