Bots/Instrumentation

notes

Categorizing bots:

• currently, we have logging capacity
• what we need is a database module for logging
• logging functionality may need fixing...

approach:

• passing full information to logging object
• logging object decides what to do
• want to be able to say, dump to log file, dump to database
• enable log file dumping and set a log dump file
• enable database dumping and set connection information
