We are writing Log Statements in Java, and reviewing the info and exception alerts.
The team is then conducting a Splunk Search count of log statements by Category.

Many of our log statements can have share multiple categories. Using this url reference for key-value pair, https://dev.splunk.com/enterprise/docs/developapps/addsupport/logging/loggingbestpractices/

This is sample log statement code.

LOG.info("CategoryA=true ,  CategoryG=true");

Of course, we aren’t going to write “Category=false” in any logger, since its inherent in the statement.

Is this a overall good method to count values in Splunk by Category, or is there optimal, more performace based practice?
