I implemented this a couple of months ago. One part of db is we send out a 'heartbeat' to our external customers. To see when the 'heartbeat' goes out, I made available the external log file as a table and wrote code that measures the time between to successive heartbeats as a view. Internal customers are happy, external customers are happy, and we don't get bugged about the times anymore.
