URL String

The Log URL is an optional but valuable attribute in LogHub that provides the source or path where a log, error, or action occurred. It allows you to specify the exact location in your application where a specific event took place, making it easier to trace issues, monitor activity, or understand the context of the log.

Why should you use a Log URL

• Source Identification: The Log URL helps pinpoint the source of the log, such as the page, API endpoint, or system path where an event occurred. This can be especially useful for tracking:
  • Errors on specific web pages or endpoints.
  • User actions on certain routes or features.
  • System events triggered by URLs in web-based applications.
• Not Required, but Highly Useful: While the Log URL is optional, it can significantly enhance your ability to search and filter logs. By including the URL where the action took place, you make it easier to:
  • Locate logs related to a specific part of your application.
  • Identify patterns or recurring issues on particular URLs.
  • Understand user behavior or errors in the context of specific pages.
• Improved Searchability: Logs that include a Log URL can be filtered and searched based on the URL or parts of it. This is particularly useful when troubleshooting issues that are specific to certain routes or when you need to monitor activity on critical pages.
• Applicable for All Kinds of Logs: Whether you’re logging an ERROR, ACTION, or SUCCESS, the Log URL provides extra context about where the event happened. For example:
  • Errors could include the URL where the failure occurred, making it easier to trace and resolve.
  • Actions can include the endpoint that triggered the action, providing a clearer audit trail.

By including the Log URL, you gain more control and context over your logs, making it easier to identify where specific actions or errors occurred. This extra layer of detail allows you to filter logs more effectively, enhancing the troubleshooting and monitoring process within LogHub.
