Monolithic applications earned their name because their structure is a single running application, which often shares the same physical infrastructure. When an application runs on a single large computing element, a single operating system can monitor every aspect of the system. Let’s break it down.

A log is a detailed, timestamped record of an event generated by an operating system, computing environment, application, server, or network device. Logs can include data about user inputs, system processes, and hardware states. “Logging” is the practice of generating and storing logs for later analysis.
