Summary

Logging provides a hard copy record of data or events. It may be used for management, safety standards, data acquisition, research data, security, or material accounting. It may perform limit tests and computations. It may be triggered by time intervals, data availability, alarm conditions, message output, or manual control. (cbb 5/80)
Subtopic: data logging up

Quote: data logging useful for improving reliability, efficiency, quality, safety standards, and material accounting [»instrumentcontrol, OK]
Quote: a datalogger acquires and measures data, usually for humans; it may perform limit tests and other computations [»instrumentcontrol]
Quote: data logging can occur periodically, when a set point occurs, or under operator control [»instrumentcontrol]
Quote: to ensure security, a reference monitor must be tamper proof, invoked on every data reference, and small enough to be proven correct [»kargPA6_1974]

Subtopic: event logging up

Quote: a message lists records all events including alarms and changes to setpoints, control modes, and status [»instrumentcontrol]
Quote: message lists are stored in system memory and automatically printed when memory space fills
Quote: in audit mode, the slab allocator records activity in a circular log; identifies owners of corrupted blocks [»bonwJ6_1994]

Subtopic: dynamic queries up

Quote: PQL queries match a context-sensitive pattern of events; subqueries match context-free grammars over the call chain; the partial-order operator matches the intersection of context-free languages [»martM10_2005]

Subtopic: display of logs up

Quote: a strip chart recorder displays too much information; better to plot a process trend vector [»dallR1_1982]

Subtopic: update logging up

Quote: for reliability, log all updates to an object; since append-only, non-volatility is cheap [»lampBW10_1983]
Quote: log-based rollback-recovery must log all nondeterministic events with enough information to replay the event; useful for applications that frequently interact with the outside world [»elnoEN9_2002]
Quote: causal logging is as fast as optimistic logging while allowing each process to commit output independently; roll-back to most recent checkpoint; more complex [»elnoEN9_2002]

Subtopic: debug logging up

Quote: Grapevine logs a week's activity at each server; useful for reconstructing failures [»schrMD2_1984]
Quote: debug Grapevine by observing the logs of multiple servers [»schrMD2_1984]
Quote: logging information was important for identifying the Cornell worm [»rochJA6_1989]
Quote: debug a program by printing intermediate results; include extra printing with the first draft [»wilkMV_1951]

Subtopic: calendar logging up

Quote: retrieve documents by calendar appointment; used 10x more often then traditional searches
[»hullJJ3_2001]
