What types of logs exist?

Logs can be divided into the following types:

• System logs: Record events related to the operation of the operating system and hardware.
• Server logs: Record activity of web servers, application servers, and databases (requests, errors, access).
• Application logs: Contain information about the operation of the application itself (user actions, errors, warnings, informational messages).
• Security/Audit logs: Track login attempts, access rights changes, suspicious activity to detect and prevent security incidents.
• Performance logs: Register performance metrics of the system or application (response time, CPU usage, memory).
• Debug logs: Used by developers to identify and fix errors in the code. Usually, they contain very detailed information.
• Transaction logs: Record each individual operation or transaction in the system, such as in a database or payment system.
