Can logging impact site performance in B2C Commerce?

Yes, building complex log strings can be expensive. This skill teaches you to use conditional checks like log.isDebugEnabled() to ensure code only runs when the specific log level is active.

What is the difference between Logger and Log classes in SFCC?

The Logger class provides static methods for quick, general logging, while the Log class allows for instance-based logging with specific categories for better organization and filtering in Business Manager.

What is Nested Diagnostic Context (NDC)?

NDC is a tool used to distinguish interleaved log messages from different requests. It allows you to push context (like an Order ID) onto a stack so every subsequent log entry in that thread includes the context.

How do I create custom log files for integrations?

You can use Logger.getLogger(category, fileNamePrefix) to write to a dedicated file. Note that prefixes must be between 3-25 characters and follow specific alphanumeric naming rules.
