Why would you need a login page? Where should this login page get it's

boys out but rather show you where the bad boys are ;).

You need access control because logs contain sensitive data. Using Apache access control is not sufficient for everyone because once authenticated, you have access to everything, which may not be in line with the roles need. For example, you could grant the DBAs access to only database logs/alerts, while the Windows admins could have access to only Windows logs/alerts. I'm not saying that this should necessarily be a design objective of AnaLogi, but that's the justification for having it.
