Logging framework and methods

1. A system comprising:

one or more processors executing a first process and a second process;

a memory storing log information for the first process and the second process; and

one or more logging components, executing on the one or more processors, configured to, at least:

identify a first log event, the first log event associated with the first process;

link the first log event with a unique event identifier (ID), the unique event ID uniquely identifying an event stemming from a common underlying error condition across multiple server processes;

transfer the unique event ID to the second process;

identify a second log event, the second log event associated with the second process;

link the unique event ID with the second log event based on the second log event stemming from the common underlying error condition;

in response to receiving the first log event and the second log event at a logging agent, storing the first log event and the second log event as a consolidated log event in a central location; and

presenting the consolidated log event in a log viewer, the log viewer including a consolidated view for presentation to an administrator.

2. The system of claim 1 ,

wherein the log viewer is configured to correlate the first log event data and the second log event data based on the unique event ID.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more logging components are implemented as an extension of a Java-based logging tool.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first process is a callee process, the second process is a caller process, and the transferring the unique event ID to the second process further includes:

generating a response message associated with a request from the caller process to the callee process, the response message including the unique event ID; and

transmitting the response message to the second process in response to the request.

5. The system of claim 4 , further comprising determining that the second log event stems from the common underlying error condition based on the second process receiving the response message from the first process.

6. A computerized method comprising:

identifying, using one or more hardware processors, a first log event, the first log event associated with a first application process executing on a first computing device;

linking the first log event to a a unique event identifier (ID)), the unique event ID uniquely identifying an event stemming from a common underlying error condition across multiple application processes;

transferring the unique event ID to a second application process executing on one of the first computing device and a second computing device;

identifying a second log event, the second log event associated with the second process;

linking the second log event with the unique event ID based on the second log event stemming from the common underlying error condition;

in response to receiving the first log event and the second log event at a logging agent, storing the first log event and the second log event as a consolidated log event in a central location; and

presenting the consolidated log event in a log viewer, the log viewer including a consolidated view for presentation to an administrator.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

storing the first log event data and the second log event data in a logging database; and

correlating the first log event data and the second log event data based on the unique event ID.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the method is performed as an extension of a Java-based logging tool.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first process is a callee process, the second process is a caller process, and the transferring the unique event ID to the second process further includes:

generating a response message associated with a request from the caller process to the callee process, the response message including the unique event ID; and

transmitting the response message to the second process in response to the request.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising determining that the second log event shares a common cause with the first log event based on the second process receiving the response message from the first process.

11. A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to, at least:

identify a first log event, the first log event associated with a first process;

link the first log event to a unique event identifier (ID), the unique event ID uniquely identifying an event stemming from a common underlying error condition across multiple processes;

transfer the unique event ID to a second process;

identify a second log event, the second log event associated with the second process;

link the unique event ID with the second log event based on the second log event stemming from the common underlying error condition;

in response to receiving the first log event and the second log event at a logging agent, storing the first log event and the second log event as a consolidated log event in a central location; and

presenting the consolidated log event in a log viewer, the log viewer including a consolidated view for presentation to an administrator.

12. The machine-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the processor-executable instructions further cause the one or more processor to:

store the first log event data and the second log event data in a logging database; and

correlate the first log event data and the second log event data based on the unique event ID.

13. The machine-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the first process is a callee process, the second process is a caller process, and the transferring the event ID to the second process further includes:

generating a response message associated with a request from the caller process to the callee process, the response message including the unique event ID; and

transmitting the response message to the second process in response to the request.

14. The machine-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the second log event sharing a common cause with the first log event is based on the second process receiving the response message from the first process.
