Overview
Logs are critical for debugging and monitoring. Effective log analysis quickly identifies issues and enables root cause analysis.
When to Use
- Troubleshooting errors
- Performance investigation
- Security incident analysis
- Auditing user actions
- Monitoring application health
Quick Start
Minimal working example:
// Good: Structured logs (machine-readable)
logger.info({
level: 'INFO',
timestamp: '2024-01-15T10:30:00Z',
service: 'auth-service',
user_id: '12345',
action: 'user_login',
status: 'success',
duration_ms: 150,
ip_address: '192.168.1.1'
});
// Bad: Unstructured logs (hard to parse)
console.log('User 12345 logged in successfully in 150ms from 192.168.1.1');
// JSON Format (Elasticsearch friendly)
{
"@timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z",
"level": "ERROR",
"service": "api-gateway",
"trace_id": "abc123",
"message": "Database connection failed",
"error": {
"type": "ConnectionError",
"code": "ECONNREFUSED"
