In a Spring application, you can log various types of information depending on your specific requirements. Some common things to log in a Spring application include:

1. Application startup and shutdown events.
2. Exceptions and error messages.
3. Method entry and exit points for important business logic.
4. Database queries and updates.
5. External service calls and responses.
6. Performance metrics like response times.

Whether every request gets logged or not depends on your logging configuration. You can configure logging frameworks like Logback or Log4j to log every incoming request by intercepting them using filters or interceptors.

Yes, you can log objects in info logs as well. Most logging frameworks provide methods like logger.info("Object: {}", object) that accept placeholders for objects to be logged along with the log message. The objects are converted to their string representation using their toString() method before being logged.

However, it's important to note that logging large or complex objects may impact performance and increase log file sizes significantly. It's recommended to log only the necessary information from objects or use custom formatters to extract specific details from complex objects before logging them.

The bot is really accurate here ^^

Logging every request is sometimes necessary but not always

It depends on the kind of app you're making
