Database logging

About

The Database logging module logs system events in the Drupal database. For more information, see the online handbook entry for the Database logging module.

Uses

Monitoring your site

The Database logging module allows you to view an event log on the Recent log messages page. The log is a chronological list of recorded events containing usage data, performance data, errors, warnings and operational information. Administrators should check the log on a regular basis to ensure their site is working properly.

Debugging site problems

In case of errors or problems with the site, the Recent log messages page can be useful for debugging, since it shows the sequence of events. The log messages include usage information, warnings, and errors.
