Logresulterror

Logresulterror is a term used to describe an error condition that occurs when a logging system fails to process or persist the result of an operation. In structured logging environments, where the outcome of tasks is captured as a result object or payload, a logresulterror indicates a problem in recording or handling that result.

Causes of logresulterror include serialization failures of the result data (for example, non-serializable objects or circular references), data type or size constraints that exceed sink limits, insufficient permissions to write to a log store, and outages or failures in the logging backend (such as a file, database, or remote service). Misconfigurations in formatters, encoders, or sinks can also trigger this error.

Symptoms often involve the inability to write a log entry containing the operation result, exposure of a stack trace mentioning logresulterror, elevated retry behavior, or partial logging where some but not all fields of the result are recorded. In some cases, the error may be surfaced to the application layer if logging is treated as a source of reliability guarantees.

Handling and prevention strategies include ensuring result data is serializable or converted to a safe representation, implementing fallback logging paths for critical results, and configuring sinks for resilience and appropriate backoff. It is also advisable to decouple business logic from heavy logging operations, test log formats and encoders, and audit permissions and sink health regularly. Related concepts include logerror, writeerror, and serializationerror.
