Hi Doug,

I think that the topic of what to log in a log file is an interesting one. I've 
personally come to learn that what should go into the log file at INFO level 
and up is what is going to be useful to an administrator audience - not a 
developer audience. I don't think that logging network transactions is useful 
to the administrator from a general perspective - they just want to understand 
about things that they should attend to.

There's a great book that also covers this:

Kind regards,
Christopher
