Yep, (warning: IANAL), logs are usually categorized as hearsay evidence (3rd
party) - meaning they are not generally admissible in court, because you
can't prove they are accurate and reliable.
But, if you take additional steps, there are exceptions for hearsay
evidence: if logs are made during the regular conduct of business and
authenticated by witness familiar with their use, they can be admissible.
