## Logging

* **Important**\
  Make sure to check that your input pattern is valid for Envoy, or Envoy will reject the update and store the latest changes in the `error state`.

## Tracing

* **Important**\
  To fully implement tracing, you'll need to update your application.\
  To see all the available data from your chosen service, you'll have to instrument your application using the applicable libraries.
