Certainly! I learned to reconfigure tomcat's logging when I was doing my
Nutch deployment. I'm very likely going to reconfigure my logging.
i've been thinking a Servlet that didn't depend on any special Solr code
(so it will work even if SolrCore isn't initialized) but registeres a log
handler and records the last N messages from Solr above a certain level
would be handy to refer people to when they are having issues and aren't
overly comfortable with log files.
Yeah, like a ring buffer for last x number warning|severe messages.
I'm pretty used to looking at apache log files. Some errors pointing
out configuration or operational failure (like running out of file
descriptors) on the admin and status pages would be helpful because I
think that some people are probably going to check those pages first,
possibly because they're deving and not necessarily watching logs. I'd
still use Solr even if it didn't have a logging servlet, tho ;-)
