About
The Drupal core module Database logging monitors your system, capturing system events in a log to be reviewed by
an authorized individual at a later time.
Before Drupal 7 this module was called Watchdog.
This is useful for site administrators who want a quick overview of activities on their site. The logs also record the
sequence of events, so it can be useful for debugging site errors.
The log is simply a list of recorded events containing usage data, performance data, errors, warnings and operational
information. Administrators should check the Drupal core report on a regular basis to ensure their site is working
properly.
Database logging is not enabled by default, so it needs to be enabled on the Extend page (http://example.com/admin
/modules).
