Ask HN: How do you log application events?
Ehm, the contrast between my answer and everyone else's here makes me feel surprisingly greybearded, but...<p>Application logging has been a solved problem for decades now. syslog or direct-to-disk in a reasonable format, let logrotate do the job it's faithfully done for years and let the gzipped old files get picked up by the offsite backups that you're surely running, and use the standard collection of tools for mining text files: grep, cut, tail, etc.<p>I'm a little weirded out that "my logs are too big" is still a thing, and that the most common answer to this is "glue even more complexity together".
