some additional possibilities: - use jdbc logging to a central server/database. - use a socket appender to send the data to the central server. - use the JMSappender to send the data to the central server....

There are several server applications running on different hosts (Solaris OS) in one subnet. Each of them writes logs locally using log4j RollingFileAppender. There is a task to create centralized logs storage of all these logs. There are 2 main solutions that came to my mind. 1. Mount logs directory by NFS and write logs there. 2. Reconfigure log4j to send logs to syslogd I am interested in 1st option. But some questions appear. How to provide reliability in case if nfs brakes (timeout or network issues) There are 2 points: 1. All applications should not be affected by nfs crash. 2. Logs should not be lost in case of nfs crash. To provide this i see variant: -Write logs in 2 threads (locally and to nfs) and then periodically synchronize them. (Question how? ) -Alternate failover way to save logs (e.g. in case of nfs crash write them locally and then copy them to nfs) (Question how remains =)) ) Do you have any valueble ideas?
