Log File¶
Log is a list of event that happen during execution of a piece of software. Logs are often refered to as log file, though they might be handled by specific servers, now a days.
Log report meaningful events during execution. They are used after execution to provide overview of the process: performance, exceptional events, etc.
Logs may be saved on the local machine, or exported to external storage.
Log is also the short name for logarithm.
