Hi Jake, thanks for the hint - I wouldn't claim that I am not reinventing the wheel...that's one of my favourite hobbies ;-) I haven't worked with LogWeb yet, but according to their website, "LogWeb is a web interface for configuring Log4J at runtime within a servlet container." The Live Demo on the LogWeb page isn't working and so far I have been too lazy to download and install it, but from what I've read on their page it is more about configuring the loggers of an application at runtime than about analyzing the logs themselves. As of now, I'm more interested in having the log files or our 60+ servers in a central database in a format which I can run queries against. That's why I responded to Ricardo's posting - to me it looks as if l4n is working in a similar direction, though in a different language and on a different level of granularity. Anyway: Thanks for letting me know, I'll take a look at LogWeb these days. Have a nice weekend, Philipp --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
