Log.INFO vs. Log.DEBUG
LoggingLogging Problem Overview
I am developing a large commercial program and keep confusing myself between what kind of information i want to log with Log.INFO and Log.DEBUG.
Are there any standards or canonical Python Enhancement Proposal / Java standard conventions / rules defined for other languages on what each type of log message contains?
Logging Solutions
Solution 1 - Logging
I usually try to use it like this:
- DEBUG: Information interesting for Developers, when trying to debug a problem.
- INFO: Information interesting for Support staff trying to figure out the context of a given error
- WARN to FATAL: Problems and Errors depending on level of damage.
Solution 2 - Logging
> • Debug: fine-grained statements concerning program state, typically
> used for debugging;
>
> • Info: informational statements concerning program state,
> representing program events or behavior tracking;
>
> • Warn: statements that describe potentially harmful events or states
> in the program;
>
> • Error: statements that describe non-fatal errors in the application;
> this level is used quite often for logging handled exceptions;
>
> • Fatal: statements representing the most severe of error conditions,
> assumedly resulting in program termination.

Solution 3 - Logging
Also remember that all info()
, error()
, and debug()
logging calls provide internal documentation within any application.
