Application logging mechanism

A system to facilitate application logging, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
• record a system state;
• perform application logging at a first logging rate, wherein logging comprises:
• receiving a plurality of events from one or more infrastructure resources via a network interface;
• storing the events in a queue within a memory;
• and
• generating one or more tasks for each of the plurality of events;
• record an occurrence of task failures indicating a failure of one or more tasks during the logging;
• determine a predicted queue size threshold value based on the recorded occurrence of task failures;
• determine whether that the predicted queue size threshold value is less than an actual queue size;
• and
• perform the application logging at a second logging rate upon a determination that the predicted queue size threshold value is less than an actual queue size, wherein the second logging rate is greater than the first logging rate.
