A system to facilitate application logging is described. The system includes a processor and a machine readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to record a system state, perform application logging at a first logging rate, record an occurrence of task failures during the logging, determine a predicted queue size threshold value based on the recorded occurrence of task failures, determine whether that the predicted queue size threshold value is less than an actual queue size and perform the application logging at a second logging rate upon a determination that the predicted queue size threshold value is less than an actual queue size, wherein the second logging rate is greater than the first logging rate.
