I know we've kinda covered this topic before to some extent back before ApacheCon. I'm planning to do a general logging presentation this November at my local Java user group (thanks for the idea, Gary!), and I was wondering if any of you had any useful source material or tips about what to cover. Later on when I have a draft ready of slides, I'll post them here for feedback as well.
My general ideas so far relate to: * What is logging and why should we use it? * What are logging facades and how do they differ from an implementation? * What are some common logging patterns to use in my code? - This would also cover when to use which level, what kind of information to log, etc. * How can we effectively manage logs in distributed systems? (might be too advanced a topic?) -- Matt Sicker <[email protected]>
