I have no problem writing scripts that would do anything directly on an SQL Db, but I have to consider people like the field engineers who would have to support such a system long term. For them, having a point and click interface is going to decrease the chances that they will hate me 😆

The actual logging that I will be doing is pretty simple, but definitely does need SQL DB connectivity.
