Codebase Should support usage of a daily rotating file logging system

[Adekoreday]

Description

Why

Logging of details and error on the console makes it difficult to have a detailed history of errors and user interactions with the application on production over a long period of time.

Level

Beginner

Current behavior

On start of the application details of interactions are logged via the console, this makes it difficult to know the following

• level of importance of some logs such as information, error, warning
• keeping records of transaction history with the application.

Expected behavior

• A daily rotating file logging system should log information on files, console, and optionally a configuration to enable logging on file or console or both depending on the environment.

• After 24hours each log file should be zipped to keep our application size in check.

Screenshot attached

How to reproduce the user scenario

• start the application and interact with it.

Tips

leverage of node.js logging libraries
