What is logging and tracing?
Logging in computer programs, often also called
tracing, refers to automatically recording events and data
structures to provide an audit trail. Analyzing the recorded
logging data helps software developers and system administrator
to identify and solve security problems, software bugs
and customer issues.
To use logging in a computer program, software developers
add logging statements to their code and enable the
automatic recording of information when the program is
executed. The process of adding logging statements to software
applications is often referred to as instrumenting.
Modern logging systems provide developers with extensive
functionality to filter, monitor and log advanced information
and to take advantage of logging and tracing even in the most
complex applications and distributed systems.
.NET Logging
Whether you want to add logging to your .NET desktop application, ASP.NET server project or multi-tier database solution – SmartInspect is the right choice.
Besides the core features of all SmartInspect libraries, the native .NET library contains additional features to handle ADO.NET objects and integrate with .NET's Trace and Debug API.
Java Logging
All Java applications benefit from the unique features of SmartInspect. Identify and solve problems in your J2EE server project or cross-platform desktop application.
You will always know how many clients, sessions and threads are active and what they are doing. And if you are already using Java's built-in logging API, you can easily interface it with SmartInspect.
Delphi Logging
If you are a Delphi for Win32 or C++Builder developer, you can use SmartInspect's native Delphi library to add high-performance logging to your Windows desktop or service application.
Special database log methods and support for Delphi's RTTI make SmartInspect well suited for all kinds of Delphi projects.
