Archanaa Panda wrote a good piece on logging and how to avoid some of the many pitfalls: High Performance And Smarter Logging
While the article is about log4j, most of it (except for the “if (log.isDebugEnabled)” part) still applies even if you’ve already moved to slf4j. I especially like that she enumerates all the various goals that you try to achieve with logging.
