web dashboard for log4j
Hi,
Is there something in java for log4j similar to this web interface
that exists for l4n ?

thanks,
Ricardo

I'd wait for a couple of weeks, there is a greatly improved version
arriving soon.

Hi all,
the current logweb is quite old, a new updated version with many
usability enhancements is just around the corner.
new features:
searching and sorting of loggers (loggers can run into the thousands)
exporting config to log4j.xml
persisting and loading xml to db for clustered configuration
hopefully the next version will be available in 2-3 weeks.
cheers

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

There's certainly a few things that could be improved in LogWeb, such
as support for multiple logger repositories instead of just
displaying info about the default logger repository. But the core is
there and works well. I wonder if you could build on it instead of
creating something from scratch? Then again, maybe you have

Of course, I shall let you know - I'm not sure yet about the exact date,
but I'll release a version as soon as it is complete enough to be installed
by somebody who does not want to take a look into the source.

Hi Ricardo,
I'm working on a similar project right now.
The idea is like this: There's a separate application (working title "Logpool") that's listening on some TCP ports.
You add a SocketAppender to your application's log4j configuration (preferably using an AsyncAppender
so that your application does not block when there's a problem in the receiving end), thus relaying all interesting
messages to the Logpool. There the messages are categorized so that you can group messages by their "type" and
written into a (MySQL) database. The Logpool includes a Web Interface (which is the part I'm writing right now) where
you can view your messages in row format or as a summary (e.g. grouped by host, message type etc.).
I'm using this setup since ~ one year in the company I'm working for, processing all messages >= WARN for
approx. 60 servers, and it's a big help to see what's going wrong in your application. So far, the summary is sent every
morning by mail and looks something like this:
Logpool Message Type Statistics:
================================
Source : ServicePool
From : 21.01.2007 08:00:07
To : 22.01.2007 08:00:07

Attribute (currency range)sitePrice in Memento :Information:RealEstate: is missing
at de.is24.corba.api.MementoWrapper.getCurrencyRangeAttr(MementoWrapper.java:1183)
[..more stacktrace...]
[..]
I'm planning to release a new version including a web interface by end of february - if you're interested, drop me a mail and I'll let you know once I have
completed something that's working.
Cheers,
Philipp
