How do you log into a custom file in SFCC?

In Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC), logging is an essential part of development, allowing developers to track events and errors in their custom applications. To log information specifically to a custom file in SFCC, the appropriate method involves using the Logger class provided within the platform.

The correct approach, which is accurately represented by the choice in question, involves using the debug method. This method is designed to record detailed informational messages that may be useful during development or troubleshooting stages but are typically not included in a production environment's logging output unless specifically configured to do so. The method debug is best used for messages that convey issues or events that developers want to be aware of during the implementation phase.

Using Logger.getLogger('profile').debug('hello') will send the string 'hello' to the log file associated with the logger named 'profile'. Developers often leverage this feature to trace the flow of application logic or maintain insights on variable states throughout the execution of their code.

In contrast, while the other methods such as logAction or info also relate to logging, they serve different purposes. logAction is generally used for tracking specific actions (like user interactions) that may not apply directly to custom logging needs or structured
