For me this was just a big advertisement for Datadog, which is not a bad thing if the information given is good. But is was not.
The problem is that application logging within the code is hard to do. It needs lots of dependencies in all the places, and well for the scale the talk was about (bigger financial companies was the example) this was possible.
Log format or how a too format was just left in the middle.
And personally, the worst part was the fact they said application logging can be used for tracing and performance metrics.
These are different things and please don't encourage people to do so.
Very good presentation. We had monolog already available but didn't use it yet. With the clear explanation from Florian Engelhardt I was able to use it immediately. Specifically his remark in keeping message and data separate.
Now we will add it - via traits - in our complete codebase - and build a small reporting tool to display to our support team.
Due the presentation of Florian tiny-awfull-troubleshooting - which I do mostly myself - can now be delegated to the teams and is actually fun to do.
Florian did a great technical on how to log and how to implement it. Had good takeaways on how to improve how I'm leveraging logging, which I've been able to take away and implement already. Good talk!
