Use when you need to implement or improve Java logging and observability — including selecting SLF4J with Logback/Log4j2, applying proper log levels (ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE), parameterized logging, correlation context, secure logging without sensitive data exposure, environment-specific configuration, log aggregation, monitoring, and alerting. This should trigger for requests such as Improve logging; Apply logging; Refactor logging; Add logging support; Review SLF4J structured logging…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Java Logging Best Practices Implement effective Java logging following standardized frameworks, meaningful log levels, core practices (parameterized logging, exception handling, no sensitive data), explicit correlation context, flexible configuration, security-conscious logging, monitoring, and alerting. **What is covered in this Skill?** - Standardized framework selection: SLF4J facade with Logback or Log4j2 - Meaningful and consistent log levels: ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE - Core practices: parameterized logging, proper exception handling, avoiding sensitive data - Configuration: environment-specific (logback.xml, log4j2.xml), output formats, log rotation - Security: mask sensitive data, control log access, secure transmission, GDPR/HIPAA compliance - Log monitoring and alerting: centralized aggregation (ELK, Splunk, Loki), automated alerts **Scope:** The reference is organized by examples (good/bad code patterns) for each core area. Apply recommendations based on applicable examples. ## Constraints …

How to install
mdr add jabrena/plinth/181-java-observability-logging@sha256:4281691b9f6b04f3The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.19.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
