Join us for live coding an Apex logging framework to learn how to get information out of a managed package with very little effort, making it much easier to debug. Using the REST API of cloud-based logging service Loggly, we'll create a client in Apex that acts as a sink for the logs and captures log data back into the Force.com platform, thus providing the chance to make use of all this wonderful data we capture.

8. Instrumentation
• What data should we capture?
• Exceptions
• Steps in complex flow
• Method returns
• Callouts
• More points of capture is genrally better

9. Control
• Try to filter the data you want sent
• Many different way to achieve this
• Static resource
• Custom setting
• Remote site
• Control ultimately with the client
