Session Replay vs Logging

Session replay restores continuity; logging stores history. They solve different problems.

Logging stores history. Session replay restores continuity by replaying recent output when you reconnect.

The difference

  • Logging: long-term storage and auditing.
  • Replay: short-term continuity and resume.

Why replay matters even if you log

Logs do not restore the live session. Replay does. It brings the operator back to the same working state.
