Show actor log messages to the apify customer?
I would like to get some feedback on what to log to users and customers of my actor.
At the moment I log progression through each page and any data retrieved but I think this is unnecessary.
I just want to inform the user the progression and if it is running properly but I am unsure what would provide the most value.
What do you do for your paid actors?
