At least one person MUST mention Backhand! www.backhand.org
I'm working on a project right now that is expected to grow to 100+ servers in the next 12 months. In past projects I've worked on, handling of the log files becomes non-trivial at numbers far below that, so I built the new system to log via Spread (www.spread.org) and it is a wonderful thing to behold. When you start building really big systems, the insignificant things become big things, and the big things become huge! :-) On a side note: we originally used mod_log_spread to log via Spread, but found it to be a fairly nasty solution (lots of errors in the log files, otherwise worked OK) so we instead used good old mod_log_config and piped the output to a Perl program that spreads the logs. -- -- Tom Mornini -- InfoMania Printing & Prepress
