Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for controlled processing of a plurality of log statements. In an embodiment, the method includes accessing a database of unique identifiers for each of the log statements. The unique identifiers are generated based at least on a file name and a line number corresponding to each of the log statements. The method also includes determining a status corresponding to each of the unique identifiers. The status represents either an “on” or an “off” status of the log statements associated with each of the unique identifiers. The one or more of the log statements are processed based on the status of each of the log statements.
