So exciting as we're line:-1 <v.Male.spk1 Speaker1>going to see a couple of guys got together and they addressed line:-1 <v.Male.spk1 Speaker1>need that they saw in it. And that need was simple. line:-1 <v.Male.spk1 Speaker1>They were overwhelmed with logging messages. Everything is line:-1 <v.Male.spk1 Speaker1>logging its health, but they didn't have the time to wade line:-1 <v.Male.spk1 Speaker1>through all those lot messages.
