my apologies, you are absolutely correct. Also ... Log4j comes with many appenders already capable of doing this (socket, JMS) so you might not even have to write your own.
In an enterprise setting we might run into applications where we can't control their logging, e.g. code out of our control may log to an IIS log, NT Event Log, Unix Syslog, etc. In such situations a viewer such as XpoLog can bring disparate data together into a single view. The only requirement is that a datetime-stamp be in each record. But you're absolutely right - if you have control over the code then Log4j provides a solution out of the box. -----Original Message----- From: Jan Pernica [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2005 9:11 AM To: Log4J Users List Subject: Re: **SPAM** RE: Log4J - log aggregation Write your own appender, which will do the job Lutz Michael wrote: >http://www.xplg.com/ > >-----Original Message----- >From: James P Barber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2005 8:04 AM >To: Log4J Users List >Subject: Log4J - log aggregation > > > > > > >I am looking for ideas on practical techniques for aggregating logs from >multiple source applications to a central log >repository.
