The pursuit of data-driven decision making has put tracking, logging and monitoring at the forefront of the minds of product, sales and marketing teams.
Request Logs
Data contained in requests made to the server are logged in files. Referrer, remote address, user agent, header data, status codes, response data, etc., can be captured. It usually comes from an application module, library or SDK handles recording the requests and formatting the data being logged.
Why is this important? Almost any data within the stack can be logged – from server, application and client performance to user activities. Log data can be filtered, aggregated and then analyzed via visualization tools to assess most aspects of your product and underlying infrastructure.
