Is it acceptable to skip logging configuration because it is auto-generated?

Logging configuration is a crucial aspect of any application, including SailPoint Identity Security Cloud, as it plays a significant role in monitoring, troubleshooting, and maintaining the overall health of the system. While it may be tempting to skip logging configuration because it can be auto-generated, doing so undermines the ability to effectively track and analyze events within the system.

Having a well-defined logging strategy ensures that all relevant activities are recorded and can be easily accessed when issues arise or audits are conducted. Auto-generated logs may lack the customization needed to capture specific data relevant to your organization's security policies or compliance requirements. Configuring logging manually allows stakeholders to specify log levels, retention policies, formats, and destinations, which enhances both security and operational insights.

In summary, proper logging should not be overlooked, even if auto-generation is available. Tailoring logging configurations is essential for effective monitoring and response to incidents, thereby ensuring that the system operates securely and efficiently.
