# Logging Guidelines

|
||||
> Logging and system-log conventions for the library-management backend.

## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The project requires system maintenance/log support for key operation logs, data
|
||||
backup support, and exception tracing. MySQL should include a system log table,
|
||||
illustratively `system_logs`, for durable audit and troubleshooting records.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## What to Log
|
||||
|
||||
Record key operations that affect security, data integrity, or inventory:
|
||||
|
||||
- Login success/failure and logout for administrator, librarian, and reader
|
||||
roles when applicable.
|
||||
- Permission changes, role changes, and denied protected operations.
|
||||
- Book create, update, delete, category maintenance, and warehousing/intake.
|
||||
- Borrow, return, renew, overdue handling, and automatic inventory status
|
||||
updates.
|
||||
- Reader profile, eligibility, and contact information changes.
|
||||
- Data backup events and restore-related maintenance actions.
|
||||
- Unhandled exceptions and failed database operations with safe context.
|
||||

||||
## System Log Fields
|
||||
|
||||
When the schema is introduced, `system_logs` should preserve enough information
|
||||
to trace actions without exposing sensitive data. Useful fields include an ID,
|
||||
operator ID, operator role, operation type, target entity/table, target ID,
|
||||
result status, message, timestamp, and request IP when available.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Sensitive Data
|
||||
|
||||
Do not log passwords, raw credentials, full request bodies, database connection
|
||||
strings, or unnecessary personal data. Prefer IDs and operation summaries over
|
||||
large before/after payloads.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Exception Tracing
|
||||
|
||||
Server logs may contain technical stack traces for developers. User-facing JSP
|
||||
pages should receive concise messages. Durable system logs should record the
|
||||
operation, actor, failure category, and correlation details needed to locate
|
||||
the server-side exception.
