Endre, it seems that you use DEBUG and TRACE for development (bug-hunting). Others tend to use INFO and DEBUG for development (i.e. bug-hunting).


When do *you* use INFO?

FWIW, I think of info as normal chatter about operations


"Login : User foobar has logged in"
"Report Request : foobar requested report xyz"

That kind of thing - like the audit record of operations. I also use WARN and ERROR. DEBUG and TRACE are for DEBUGging and TRACEing - former when displaying significant internal state information when trying to find a problem (usu in prod), and the latter is mindless chatter scattered throughout the code to see where I am...
