This chapter was full of information on application performance measurement techniques. The chapter is useful for development teams working on application performance enhancement tasks. At the same time, it can be referred to by technical teams setting up their application logging mechanisms.

We learned what the key elements of logging are. We also looked into logging tools, like standard Java logging and Log4j.

VisualVM is one of the most widely used Java-based performance profiling tools, available as a standard Java distribution package. That was it for this chapter.
