Logea

Logea is a term used in Spanish-language computing to refer to the act of logging into a system or recording events in a log. Derived from the English word log, it reaches Spanish through borrowed verbs such as loguear or logear. Logea can function as a verb or appear in related forms depending on dialect, with variations like loguea, loguear, logear, loggea, and current tense or imperative usages in different regions.

In practice, logea commonly appears in sentences such as "El usuario logea en la aplicación" or "La aplicación loggea un fallo en el registro." The preferred spelling and conjugation vary by country and IT community; some speakers favor loggear, others loguear, and regional forms of the present tense differ accordingly. The noun forms related to this concept include log, log file, or registro, referring to the chronicle of events generated by a computer system.

A log is a chronological record of events, including user authentications, actions, errors, and system messages. Logs are used for debugging, auditing, performance monitoring, and security analysis. The practice of real-time logging has grown with cloud services and web applications, reinforcing the relevance of the term logea in contemporary technical communication.
