Abstract

Multi-dimensional logging for enterprise applications is described. A computer executes a logging mechanism. The logging mechanism receives, via a user interface, selections of log detail levels that range from a minimum log detail level to a maximum log detail level, of contexts that include at least two of an analytics context, a security context, a performance context, and a health context, and use cases that include at least two of an export use case, a save use case, an import use case, a check-in use case, and a check-out use case. The logging mechanism creates a multi-dimensional logging artifact based on selections of log detail levels, contexts, and use cases, and utilizes the multi-dimensional logging artifact with log data to create refined log data based on the selections of log detail levels, contexts, and use cases. The refined log data assists a user in evaluating an enterprise application.

Dependent claims

A system for multi-dimensional logging for enterprise applications, the system comprising:

a processor based logging mechanism, which when executed on a computer, will cause the processor to:
receive, via a user interface, at least one selection of a log detail level from a plurality of log detail levels that range from a minimum log detail level to a maximum log detail level;
receive, via the user interface, at least one selection of a context from a plurality of contexts that comprises at least two of an analytics context, a security context, a performance context, and a health context;
receive, via the user interface, at least one selection of a use case from a plurality of use cases that comprise at least two of an export use case, a save use case, an import use case, a check-in use case, and a check-out use case;
create a multi-dimensional logging artifact based on at least one selected log detail level, at least one selected context, and at least one selected use case;
and
utilize the multi-dimensional logging artifact with log data to create refined log data, wherein the refined log data is based on the at least one selected log detail level, the at least one selected context, and the at least one selected use case, and wherein the refined log data assists a user in evaluating an enterprise application.

A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer-readable program code embodied therein, the computer-readable program code including instructions adapted to be executed by one or more processors to:

receive, via a user interface, at least one selection of a log detail level from a plurality of log detail levels that range from a minimum log detail level to a maximum log detail level;
receive, via the user interface, at least one selection of a use case from a plurality of use cases that comprise at least two of an export use case, a save use case, an import use case, a check-in use case, and a check-out use case;
create a multi-dimensional logging artifact based on at least one selected log detail level and at least one selected use case;
and
utilize the multi-dimensional logging artifact with log data to create refined log data, wherein the refined log data is based on the at least one selected log detail level and the at least one selected use case, and wherein the refined log data assists a user in evaluating an enterprise application.
