- Could you explain more about what Morgan is?
Wow, someone is reading very carefully! Well done!
Morgan is a logger. That is, it prints information about the normal operation of the software: each incoming request is printed, what the request is about, what the result was, etc.
Logging is very important when software is no longer in development but has been released, because they are usually the only way to figure out what went wrong.
The CS server logs web requests (Apache does this) and also login attempts, etc. There have been 224,040 web requests just this week, all logged.
For our purposes, Morgan tells us about incoming requests and what happened to them, which is helpful in debugging.
