How to handle remote monitoring log4j?

Question

I used a chainsaw to remotely monitor an application using log4j. I am wondering if there are better ways to do this, or perhaps another logging system.

There is nothing wrong with a chainsaw, that's good. If you need anything else, look at log4j appenders . If you read all the documentation using log4j, you will see that the consoles can send magazines to e-mail, cell phones .....

Answer 4

We created JMX beans (the ones that come with log4j are not very friendly) that can display / scan / crop / copy log files. As WolfmanDragon noted, you can use custom applications to send log messages to other destinations. In combination with a filter, you can send log4j error messages to the management application using JMX notifications, etc.

If you have a huge amount of magazines on many machines, you can use something like Splunk .

There are quite a few Java logging tools (see the list at Java-logging.com ), so it really depends on your specific need. For real-time monitoring of log files or remote logging on a log server, you may need our Java SmartInspect logging tool .
