Description
Flowgger is a logging framework that requires users to define the flow of their code in advance using stflow files. It matches logging statements against this predefined flow, logging only the step ID, which drastically reduces log size. Users receive all relevant information in a single log entry, including execution time, flow sequence, and flow status, making debugging significantly more efficient.
How to use Flowgger?
To integrate Flowgger, import it into your application, configure it with the necessary appenders and flows, and initialize it before logging. Each endpoint must use the Flowgger instance to log messages according to the defined flow.
