Abstract
A data-logging framework ('logger') includes a configuration file in which an application can define various data fields and locations at which the data fields are to be logged. Some data fields include validating functions that are used by the logger to determine whether a value of a data field is valid. The application can also define (a) canonical data fields using the logger and (b) derived data fields. Upon receiving the data fields and their values from the application, the logger can determine whether the data fields are defined in the configuration file, validate the values, and log the values at the specified locations. Values of any canonical and/or derived data fields are obtained by the logger and logged at the specified locations.
