Logging

The HDR logging system is based upon an understanding of threats, risks and server/application health/vital signs. Even when operating under normal conditions, applications need to maintain health and efficiency in a shared ecosystem and make sure that the key metrics are adhered to.

In order to maintain a stable, efficient, and self-correcting cloud environment, and maintain wellness, the infrastructure must be able to log/capture appropriate information as deemed necessary and enable the administrator to assess the situation.

HDR logs:

  • Critical activities: activities of operations and access to critical resources.
  • System events: identify underlying programs and infrastructure.
  • Who, what and when.
  • All services and modules across all tiers (i.e. Web, APIs, Persistence, etc.).

HDR logging can be configured to use either JDK Logging or Log4J Logging Framework. The user has to specify which logging framework he would want to use.
