A method of providing asset-based logging, comprising: setting a flag for at least one of an identified asset and a transaction prior to logging activity relating to the at least one of the identified asset and the transaction occurring; generating, based on the set flag, a first detailed log for logging activity related to at least one of the identified asset and the transaction by a first application implemented on a first node; passing a transaction identifier, the flag, and any of the identified asset, information generated by the first application implemented on the first node, information provided to the first application implemented on the first node and a representation of the identified asset to at least one downstream application implemented on at least one second node; and correlating detailed logs, generated by the at least one downstream application for logging activity related to the at least one of the identified asset and the transaction by the at least one downstream application, based on the set flag, with the first detailed log for logging activity related to the at least one of the identified asset and the transaction by the first application.
