Efficient Logging | Task Modifications with timestamps #1604
Description
Issue Description
Task:
Log Management
Details:
The current system lacks comprehensive logging capabilities for task modifications. To ensure better tracking and transparency, the following features need to be implemented:
-
Logging task assignments:
- Save the timestamp in the logs collection when a task is assigned to someone.
- Include details such as the assignee's identity and any relevant task information.
-
Logging task status changes:
- Record timestamps in the logs collection when a task's status changes (e.g., from 'in progress' to 'completed' or any other state).
- Capture relevant details associated with the status change.
-
Logging task re-assignments:
- Create logs when a task is reassigned to another individual.
- Include pertinent details regarding the reassignment.
-
Logging all task updates:
- Ensure that every modification to a task is properly logged, providing a complete history of task-related activities.
Purpose:
This enhancement is crucial for maintaining a transparent and traceable system, which is essential for auditing, accountability, and overall system management. Implementing robust logging functionality will significantly improve the tracking and monitoring of task-related activities within the system.
Acceptance Criteria:
- The logs should be accurately generated and stored in the designated logs collection for each relevant task modification event.
- Each log entry must contain the timestamp, details of the event, and any pertinent information associated with the task modification.
- The logging mechanism should adhere to the existing data privacy and security standards, ensuring that sensitive information remains protected.
- The logs must be easily accessible for auditing and analysis purposes, with appropriate provisions for data retrieval and archival.
Testing Information:
- Write automated tests using Mocha and Chai to ensure the proper functioning of the logging features.
- Conduct unit tests to verify that the logging functions operate correctly and capture the necessary information accurately.
- Perform integration testing to ensure that the logging system seamlessly integrates with the existing task management system.
- Validate the accessibility of the logs and their contents, ensuring that all relevant details are stored and retrievable.
- Test the logging mechanism under various scenarios, including task assignment, status changes, and re-assignments, to guarantee comprehensive and accurate logging.
Additional Information:
Please ensure that the logging mechanism complies with the existing data privacy and security standards. Consider implementing efficient data storage and retrieval methods to facilitate easy access to the logs for auditing and analysis purposes.
Let's work on this enhancement to create a more robust and transparent system for efficient task management and monitoring.
