What’s the best way to log triggered events?

Comprehensive logging enables debugging and analysis:

What to log: Trigger event: Type, timestamp, source system, unique ID. Recipient: ID, key attributes at trigger time. Evaluation: Conditions checked, results of each. Path: Which branch taken, why. Outcomes: Actions taken, successes, failures.

Log levels: Summary: High-level counts and statuses for dashboards. Detail: Individual event information for investigation. Debug: Verbose information for troubleshooting.

Retention and access: Define retention period based on needs and compliance. Ensure logs are searchable and accessible. Balance detail against storage costs.

Alerting integration: Configure alerts based on log patterns. Detect anomalies automatically. Enable rapid response to issues.

Good logging transforms "something went wrong" into "here is exactly what happened."
