Debugging logs are essential for diagnosing issues and understanding the internal state of an application. Here's a guide to help you effectively utilize them:

📝 Key Concepts

  • Log Levels:
    • DEBUG: Detailed information for developers
    • INFO: General operational updates
    • WARNING: Potential issues that may need attention
    • ERROR: Critical failures requiring immediate action
    • FATAL: Severe errors that terminate the application
      Use ⚙️ to adjust log levels in your configuration file.

📚 Configuration Example

logging:
  level: DEBUG
  file:
    path: /var/log/app/debug.log
    max_size: 10MB
    max_files: 5

For more details on logging settings, see Logging Configuration Guide.
