title: What are best practices for event id management?
body: <p>I'm trying to figure out how to manage my event ids.  Up to this point I've been putting each event id in each method manually with each step in a method numbered sequentially.  This doesn't allow me to effectively filter events in the event log.  In order to use the filter in the event log, it seems that every logged event must have its own unique id.</p>
  
  <p>I could store them all in a table with the description linked to them, but then as my code executes, I'm logging "magic" meaningless event codes.</p>
  
  <p>I did a Google search, but I appear to be at a loss as to the correct keywords to use to get to the bottom of this issue.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
