Abstract
Presented herein is a system, referred to as Transaction-Outcome Driven Adaptive Logging (TODAL), that is an innovative system that resolves the critical trade-off between comprehensive diagnostic logging and operational efficiency on complex network devices. It achieves this by capturing all log data at the highest verbosity into an internal buffer, then intelligently processing and outputting only key summary information for successful operations, while providing full detailed logs exclusively for failed transactions. This approach not only ensures comprehensive troubleshooting data is always available when needed, but also significantly reduces system resource consumption and extends the effective retention period of relevant logs.
