If you can't wait.... We use a Linux box to SMB mount the log directories, most are W2K boxes. Then you can use your favorite UNIX tools to search for results. I use ht://Dig, http://www.htdig.org/, it can be configured for text searches through log files. With some basic scripting you can setup a pretty good log management system with an easy to use http front end. I provide a pull down list of all servers to allow specific searches and also an "all log" search. The script smbmounts the log directory, launches the search, provides results if any and unmounts the directory.
Hope this helps, Good Luck...Still looking forward to 5.3.

Something along the lines of I can view all the TSM logs for each client in one place as well as be able to restore files from one place for all TSM clients without logging into a web or gui on the client side?
