If you’re not collecting your logs, you’re not secure. Just like testing, centralized log management should be an essential part of modern software development. If you collect your application’s logs, you can debug faster, find problems missed by tests, monitor your systems, and find security problems. And you just might discover that the impossible happens all the time.

Key takeaways:

• Centralized log management is essential.
• You can’t know what is happening in your application if you are not monitoring log-data.
• Security is a must-have and you must have logging in order to have security; therefore, logging is a must-have.
