+title: Using Alias Child Logger in Actions
+weight: 50
+---
+
+
+You can use the Alias function to include a user-defined alias in the logs for Mutate, Validate, and Watch actions. This can make for easier debugging since your user-defined alias will be included in the action's logs. This is especially useful when you have multiple actions of the same type in a single module.
+
+The below example uses Mutate, Validate, and Watch actions with the Alias function:
+
+```ts
+When(a.Pod)
+  .IsCreatedOrUpdated()
+  .Alias("mutate")
+  .Mutate((po, logger) => {
+    logger.info(`alias: mutate ${po.Raw.metadata.name}`);
+  });
+When(a.Pod)
+  .IsCreatedOrUpdated()
+  .Alias("validate")
+  .Validate((po, logger) => {
+    logger.info(`alias: validate ${po.Raw.metadata.name}`);
+    return po.Approve();
+  });
+When(a.Pod)
+  .IsCreatedOrUpdated()
+  .Alias("watch")
+  .Watch((po, _, logger) => {
+    logger.info(`alias: watch ${po.metadata.name}`);
+  });
+When(a.Pod)
+  .IsCreatedOrUpdated()
+  .Alias("reconcile")
+  .Reconcile((po, _, logger) => {
+    logger.info(`alias: reconcile ${po.metadata.name}`);
+  });
+```
+
+This will result in log entries when creating a Pod with the that include the alias:

+**Note:** The Alias function is optional and can be used to provide additional context in the logs. You must pass the logger object as shown above to the action to use the Alias function.
