Balanced event logging schema and library
Log schema design goals
Schema version annotated
Provide sufficient information about the event
Open and close (be flexible, avoid unnecessary change to schema)
Design rationals
OSI Network Model Structure
Data in the log can be divided into two major groups, one is the meta data, which is the data about the event. The another group is the log for application itself. In most cases, applications should only be interested in the application log itself. And the logging facility should only be interested in how to handle the whole event rather than to consume the content of application log. Also, since schema of application can variant, we don’t want change the whole schema everytime when application log is change. Consider these issues, one idea come to my mind is Internet OSI model is actually dealing with the same issue. It’s like TCP/IP protocol doesn’t need to know the content of application layer. Similarly, logging facility doesn’t have to know the content of application log. With this idea in mind, I define two layers for our logging system.
Facility layer
Application layer
Facility layer is all about the event, when it is generated, who emited this event, what’s its routing tag and etc. Application layer is all about application data, like a dispute is processed, a debit is created and etc.
