XpoLog can also bring together data with different formats (columns definitions are different). XpoLog is web-based - giving access to the enterprise without direct access to the drives upon which the log content is stored. And ... XpoLog can filter data and export to various formats. XpoLog also supports a very wide range of encodings.
We extensively tested XpoLog, Chainsaw, and about 11 other "log viewers" and the functionality of XpoLog far exceeds any log viewer on the market, open-source or commercial. We find Chainsaw to be optimal for developers, XpoLog optimal for production settings such as data-centers. No offense intended - these were just our findings. The benefit of Chainsaw of course is that it's free. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Deboy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2005 10:38 AM To: Log4J Users List Subject: RE: **SPAM** RE: Log4J - log aggregation Log4j doesn't have an NT event log receiver, but it does have LogFilePatternReceiver, which can be used to read syslog messages, IIS logs, etc. You could use Chainsaw V2 configured with these various receivers to see the events. The events may end up in separate tabs, depending on what you have set as your 'tab identifier'. Even if you have Chainsaw configured to use the default tab identifier (events for each file are displaying in their own tab), use the 'view-create custom expression log panel' to combine events from these separate tabs into a single tab. Hope this helps Scott -----Original Message----- From: Lutz Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed 5/25/2005 7:14 AM To: 'Log4J Users List' Cc: Subject: RE: **SPAM** RE: Log4J - log aggregation 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.
