Agreed. Through what I have found is that there is little agreement on how much logged information to too much and falls into debugging territory (let alone what it is). I tend to lean to less is better because it's easier to see real error messages and exceptions. Others lean toward as much information as possible so I can understand what this is doing. Both are valid approaches that serve completely opposite needs. So, I would suspect this is tied up in that quandary.

A quick look on the web clearly shows many people get confused. I tried to think about how to draw the line, how about this: INFO * provides a "storyline" of normal application * typically turned on in production DEBUG * turned on temporarily in dev environment to debug a problem, or help with development new code Jacek p.s. I think that discussion might be better placed in [log in to unmask], but I figured let's agree among ourselves first ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the QSERV-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=QSERV-L&A=1 ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the QSERV-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=QSERV-L&A=1
