Nice Dean I'm not so sure we would run the server, but we'd definitely be interested in the logback adaptor. (We would then just access the data via Virgil (over REST), with a thin javascript UI)
Let me/us know if you end up putting it out there. We intend centralize logging sometime over the next few months. -brian --- Brian O'Neill Lead Architect, Software Development Health Market Science The Science of Better Results 2700 Horizon Drive King of Prussia, PA 19406 M: 215.588.6024 @boneill42 <http://www.twitter.com/boneill42> healthmarketscience.com This information transmitted in this email message is for the intended recipient only and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
