Very few people take the time or care to design good logging strategies.

I think the key idea is logging is not something you put in then
remove as soon as the bug is fixed. You LEAVE it there, but partially
deactivate it, ready to help track down any future problems. You also
leave it partially activated, even in production to help locate the
source of problems in production, and to produce the routine
statistics.

You can fine tune just how much detail you want where.

Real logging is easy to turn on and off, and adjust the detail level,
without having to recompile the universe.
