Status: Closed
Subject: System Performance tracing, Event log and Audit improvements
Summary:    

LinkSOFT logs messages into the event log to keep the user informed. This case is about improving the logging messages and adding more messaging so the user is aware of all tasks.

Design:

We need to ensure that the Event Log is not overwhelmed with messages, at the same time, we need a good balance between useful information users and consultants can use for diagnostics and performance tuning. The following design is proposed:

  1. Add a global setting at the Company level that flags if the event log should capture the Performance log
  2. In all procedures, we track the start and end time, then add a log entry if the time taken exceeds a pre-configured amount. This is especially important for processing functions
  3. Where possible, log 2. above with some data that users may find useful
  4. The log entry should be of the format:
    1. Message: Performance log. {Source}. {Processing Time(ms)}. {Summary Relevant Information}
    2. log data: JSON or plain text containing relevant information

Investigating a design that will add value to logging. The objective is to read the log to see if there are any issues with the system.  To achieve this, we need to know the following:
  1. What process has been initiated
  2. When it was completed and how long it took
  3. Any errors raised by the process

Next step:

  1. Find a way to prevent flooding the event log. We need to consider that man processes are schedules and will not perform any action.
  2. How do we cleanup logs - maybe add this as part of the maintenance cleanup process.
