Lokitetaan

Lokitetaan is the present passive form of the Finnish verb lokittaa, meaning to log or record information in a log, register, or audit trail. In practice, lokitus refers to the process of capturing data about events, actions, or measurements and storing it in a chronological record for later reference, analysis, or compliance. The passive form is commonly used in manuals, configurations, and documentation to indicate that the logging action is performed or required, without naming a specific actor. For example, "Lokitetaan kaikki järjestelmän tapahtumat" means that all system events are logged.

Lokitus is the corresponding noun for the process and is often discussed in conjunction with terms such as lokitusjärjestelmä (logging system) and lokitiedosto (log file). The concept is most commonly encountered in information technology, software development, system administration, and regulatory or audit contexts, where traceability and accountability are important. Because it is a technical term, lokitus may be less familiar outside professional or academic environments.

Usage examples include routine automated logging of events, user actions, or errors, as in "Järjestelmä suorittaa automaattisen lokituksen," or "Lokitusarkisto säilyttää tiedot pidempään." The term reflects a broader practice of recording operational history to support debugging, security monitoring, and compliance requirements. Overall, lokitetaan and related forms describe the act and practice of keeping a log of pertinent activities within a system.
