Logging and event management provide the visibility needed to support security monitoring, system reliability, incident response, and regulatory compliance across UCSF systems. Logs record system, application, and user activity, while event management helps teams collect, review, and respond to important events and potential issues. 

Logging should be implemented based on the system's risk level, data sensitivity, compliance requirements, and operational importance so that monitoring efforts are aligned with the potential impact of security, privacy, or service disruptions.
