Been thinking about
Log4j -> syslog -> syslog server
That way you can look at the server and also at the syslog server ...

you a real time view.
I keep my per server syslogs for 4-7 days and the on the syslog server
for
months ..

Subject: Cluster Logging Options
Hi,
Curious to how people deal with logging in a horizontally clustered
environment??
Right now, I am looking at multiple remote instances of Tomcat with
separate
log files on each server. Is this the way most people do it or is it
possible to
amalgamate the logs at some point to give a more complete picture of
what
is going on in the system??
Many thanks,
John

Thanks Alex.
Could be a good idea to figure out what is going on the system!
Have you come up with any solutions of clustering tomcat across many
different servers and putting their logs together??
Isn't that precisely what he's telling you above ?

André, Alex,
Apologies, I don't understand how that relates to multiple different
machines/servers on a network.
I can see how it is a good idea for running multiple tomcat instances on
one machine alright.
Not sure what I am missing. I understand the above as writing all tomcat
logs on the same machine to the syslog. Am I mistaken??
There is just a bit missing in your understanding : syslog is a daemon running on one
host, and writes logfiles on that host. But different processes, running on the same *or
on other hosts* can send their log messages to that one syslog daemon, via the network and
TCP/IP e.g., allowing this syslog daemon to write messages from these various remote
processes to one or more local logfiles.
This, in an abbreviated way, was what Alex was trying to tell you : configure your Tomcats
to use log4j, and configure log4j to send their log messages to one syslog running on one
"logging host". You can configure log4j and syslog in such a way as to write one common
logfile for all Tomcats, or separate files for each, or both at the same time.
