Automatically zipping and archiving logs?

[Chris <sh...@yahoo.com>]

Does anyone know of a way to zip log files automatically and copy them 
to an archive? I'm thinking that an Appender that did this would be cool.

We've got an installation with a number of app servers that generate 
huge logs at very high speed. If we could zip a log whenever it rolled 
over, and then have all the servers move the zipped files to a common 
location (renaming the files appropriately), it would solve a big 
maintenance headache.

I'm thinking something that works like AsyncAppender would be a good 
idea, because then the system wouldn't need to pause to handle the 
zipping task. A separate low-priority thread could do it.

Does anything like this exist now?
