Difference between synchronous logging and asynchronous logging?

[Warrior_S (Wm User)]

Hi Experts,

What is the difference between synchronous logging and asynchronous logging?
In which case we should use synchronous logging, in which case we use asynchronous logging?

Thank you.

In synchronous logging, the data is directly written to the destination i.e a file or a database. In Asynchronous logging, the data is written to a queue first and then to the destination.

Do you have any supporting docs. on this?
