SuiteScript Request Logging

Introduction to SuiteScript Request Logging

SuiteScript provides a powerful mechanism to log various activities, including API requests, through its logging module N/log. Understanding request logging is essential for troubleshooting and monitoring the performance of SuiteScripts.

Setting Up the N/log Module

To begin logging in SuiteScript, you need to load the N/log module. This module provides several methods for logging different levels of messages.

Logging API Requests

Logging API requests involves capturing the details of HTTP requests made by your SuiteScript. This can be achieved by using the log methods such as log.debug, log.audit, log.error, and log.emergency. Here's a basic example:

Understanding Log Levels

SuiteScript provides several log levels to categorize the severity of the messages:

• DEBUG: Informational messages useful during development and debugging.
• AUDIT: Normal operation messages, such as successful completion of a task.
• ERROR: Issues that have occurred but do not stop the script from running.
• EMERGENCY: Critical issues that demand immediate attention.

Choosing the appropriate log level is crucial for effective logging and monitoring.

Best Practices for Request Logging

Here are some best practices to follow when implementing request logging in SuiteScript:

• Use descriptive messages that provide context about the logged event.
• Avoid logging sensitive information such as passwords or personal data.
• Regularly monitor and review logs to detect issues early.
• Ensure logging does not degrade the performance of your scripts.
