Add a robust logging system using loguru & betterstack

[Zingzy]

To enhance monitoring and analysis capabilities, we aim to integrate a robust logging system using Loguru and Betterstack. This system will provide valuable insights into application usage patterns and error rates. By tracking command usage frequency and error occurrences, we can improve system reliability and prioritize feature enhancements based on data-driven insights.

Tasks

• Analyze Requirements

  • Identify the key events, errors, and metrics to log.
  • Define log levels (INFO, WARNING, ERROR, DEBUG) for consistent categorization.

• Set Up Loguru

  • Integrate Loguru into the project.
  • Configure Loguru to format logs in a structured and readable manner.
  • Add logging to key parts of the application, including command usage and error handling.

• Integrate Betterstack

  • Set up a Betterstack account and create an API key for logging.
  • Configure Loguru to send logs to Betterstack for centralized monitoring and analysis.
  • Test the connection between Loguru and Betterstack to ensure logs are received.

• Optimize Logging Implementation

  • Add unique identifiers for sessions and users (anonymized if needed for privacy compliance).
  • Ensure logs do not contain sensitive user data.
  • Implement log rotation and retention policies to manage storage efficiently.

• Testing and Validation

  • Perform tests to validate logging for all log levels.
  • Simulate errors and confirm they are logged correctly.
  • Verify Betterstack dashboards for real-time log visibility.

• Deployment and Monitoring

  • Deploy the logging system to production.
  • Monitor logs on Betterstack to ensure accurate data reporting.
  • Iterate on the logging system based on insights and feedback.

Outcome

A robust logging system will enhance error tracking, help identify frequently used commands, and enable data-driven decision-making to improve the service's functionality and reliability.
