log / record
In a figurative sense, a log or record of activities, events, or data in a specific context, for example in a project, an experiment, or IT.

The programmer checked the server log to find the source of the error.
The word 'Logbuch' (logbook) comes from seafaring. A 'Log' (a piece of wood) was thrown into the water to measure speed. So the 'Logbuch' (logbook) was the book in which these and other measurement data from the journey were recorded.
Der erste Offizier war für die Führung des Logbuchs verantwortlich.
The first officer was responsible for keeping the logbook.
The original meaning refers to ships and aircraft. In a figurative sense, 'Logbuch' (logbook/log) is used very frequently today in IT for log files from servers or programs.
Der Pilot meldete den Vorfall im Logbuch des Flugzeugs.
The pilot reported the incident in the aircraft's logbook.
Regardless of the meaning, the same verbs are often used for a Logbuch (logbook). You 'führt' a logbook (keep a logbook), 'macht einen Eintrag' hinein (make an entry in it), or 'überprüft' it (check it) to find information.
Bitte machen Sie nach jeder Änderung einen Eintrag ins Logbuch.
Please make an entry in the logbook after every change.
protocol / minutes
In an experiment, a Logbuch can record ongoing activities, data, and observations throughout the process. A Protokoll, by contrast, usually documents the course and results of the experiment as an organized record or summary.
Während des Experiments trägt die Forscherin jede Messung sofort in das Logbuch ein.
During the experiment, the researcher entered each measurement in the logbook immediately.
Nach dem Experiment fasst die Forscherin den Verlauf und die Ergebnisse im Protokoll zusammen.
