NFC tag scans do not appear in logbook... should they?

Configuration
1

I see that automations that are triggered by scans, but I never see the scan logged, should I? I would like to see in the logbook that a tag was scanned and the matching device ID of the device that scanned it. Can I turn that on somehow?

Thanks Matt

I didn’t do anything special Ahhhhh I’ve just seen my automation which instructs the logging via logger

alias: Tag NFCTag-1-via-MiMix3 is scanned
description: ''
trigger:
  - platform: tag
    tag_id: snip
condition: []
action:
  - service: system_log.write
    data:
      message: NFC Tag1 scanned
      logger: automation Tag NFCTag-1-via-MiMix3 is scanned
mode: single

EDIT :blush: No I was wrong you don’t need a service call to log the automation should just appear in the logbook once triggered. For custom messages use the Logger service

Duplicated the automation one with the Logger and the other without the Logger Service call
Both triggers are logged

My logger settings in configuration.yaml are as follows

logger:
  default: warning
  logs:
    custom_components.hive: debug
    pyhiveapi: debug
