Diagnosticsincluding

Diagnosticsincluding is not a standardized term in either software engineering or medicine, but it appears in some documentation as a compound label indicating the inclusion of diagnostic data within a process, system, or workflow. In this usage, diagnostics including refers to the practice of collecting and exposing data that helps diagnose problems, monitor health, or verify correct operation.

In practice, diagnostics including encompasses a range of data types. These commonly include logs that record events and errors, metrics that quantify performance and resource usage, traces that map the flow of requests across components, and exception reports or crash dumps. It may also cover configuration data, environment information, and user actions that are relevant to reproducing issues. The goal is to provide a rich, queryable dataset that supports troubleshooting, incident response, and ongoing quality assurance.

Implementation considerations are central to its effectiveness. Organizations must balance completeness with overhead, controlling the volume and frequency of data collection to minimize performance impact. Privacy and security are important, requiring access controls, data minimization, and appropriate retention policies. Data normalization and correlation across sources are often necessary to make diagnostics including actionable.

Because diagnosticsincluding is not a formal standard, its exact scope and terminology vary by organization. It is commonly discussed alongside related concepts such as telemetry, observability, logging, and tracing, all of which aim to improve visibility into complex systems.
