<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--

 */
-->
<logging xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Logging:etc/logging.xsd">
    <groups>
        <group name="rh_helloworld">
            <label translate="true">RH Helloworld Log</label>
            <expected_models>
                <expected_model class="RH\Helloworld\Model\CustomerGrid" />
            </expected_models>
            <events>
                <event controller_action="rh_helloworld_index"
                       action_alias="productLogIndex" />
            </events>
