Steve Endow is a huge fan of detailed application logs. You can read more here: [blog.steveendow.com/2019/04/im-huge-fan-of-detailed-application-logs.html](https://blog.steveendow.com/2019/04/im-huge-fan-of-detailed-application-logs.html?m=1)

I’m less of a fan. Too often logs are only useful for cleaning up the mess afterward. The more detailed the logs, the harder it can be to find the proverbial needle in a haystack. I want something more proactive than logs and no, alerts aren’t the answer either.
