What other technologies do you have in the mix already? What is doing the 
aggregation/reporting?

As Joseph mentioned, you could write to a Windows Event Log, and then use SCOM, 
Syslog client or even native Windows event forwarding, to send that to a 
central location (depending on what the central target is). You could write to 
a text file and use a client to send that to a central syslog server or SQL 
Server. MSMQ is another option.

Subject: Distributed Logging Experiences

Hey guys,

looking for ideas or proven experiences involving logging from larger 
applications e.g. 200+ web nodes. Our current system of log4net into files on 
each server is quickly proving to be a nightmare - We are struggling to find 
out when, where, how and why things are breaking because of the rapid growth we 
have experienced.

E.g. things we have thought about include log4net into a DB that we can pull 
into a centralised location, MSMQ, file watchers etc.

What have you guys done in the past?

Thanks,
Dave Walker
