Gelogd

Gelogd is a Dutch term meaning “logged” or “recorded.” It is the past participle of the verb loggen and is used to describe data or events that have been written to a log or audit trail. In computing and information management, items such as user actions, system events, or access attempts are often described as gelogd when a record has been created for them. Phrases like Deze activiteit is gelogd or Er is gelogd are commonly encountered in software interfaces to indicate that a log entry exists.

Etymology and usage notes: Gelogd is formed from loggen, reflecting the influence of the English word log in technical Dutch. The term is distinct from ingelogd, which refers to a user being currently authenticated in a session. While ingelogd describes a login state, gelogd denotes that an action or event has been recorded in a log.

Privacy, security, and governance: Logging involves collecting data such as timestamps, user identifiers, and sometimes IP addresses. Because logs can reveal sensitive information, organizations implement retention policies, access controls, and data minimization. Compliance standards in various jurisdictions may require safeguards, anonymization, or pseudonymization of log data and clear procedures for log review and deletion.

Related concepts: Common associated terms include logbestand (log file), audit trail, and data logging. Gelogd is predominantly used in Dutch-language contexts and may be unfamiliar outside Dutch-speaking environments.
