What does the word logging mean in CiviCRM?
Raw
what-is-logging.md

It's not uncommon to hear people mention "logging" or "logs" in relation to CiviCRM. There are some different usages of "log":

  • There's CiviCRM's debug log files in sites/default/files/civicrm/CiviCRM.HASHHASH.log (what)
  • There's the DB table log civicrm_system_log (has an API, only used for IPN data, see CRM_Utils_SystemLogger and forum post).
  • There's Data Logging configured at civicrm/admin/setting/misc (mysql logging via triggers). AKA Change Log or Trigger Logging or Detailed Logging.
  • There's "userFrameworkLogging", which means "dump errors to the CMS logging" (may be Drupal specific)
  • There's the Activity Log, which is the view of activities over time.
