Can you explain what is meant by logs in the context of programming and systems?

Logs are records of events created by programs or systems to document their operation, errors, warnings, and other important information. They help developers and administrators understand what was happening in the system at a specific point in time.

Examples of log usage:

• Tracking errors and failures in an application.
• Analyzing system performance and behavior.
• Auditing user actions.

Logs are usually recorded in text files or specialized logging systems and may contain timestamps, severity levels (info, warning, error), and messages with event details.
