loggers

Timber industry workers

Loggers are workers who cut down trees and prepare timber for transport, a physically demanding occupation in the forestry industry.

The term also refers to software tools or devices that automatically record data over time, such as a data logger tracking temperature or a keystroke logger monitoring computer input.

In programming, loggers are components that capture system events and errors for debugging purposes.
