Well, you could use nfs to mount a share from the target machine and create a symlink to the logs-directory. That would be a direct approach with the disadvantage that you will get problems when the target machine won´t be available. An other solution is to create a cronjob an move the archived logfiles one´s a day to your target machine using a nfs-share. In this case you can build-in some code to check for the availability of the target machine. It depends on your project goals: concentrating the logfiles on one machine to use large disks there or up-to-date analysing of the logfiles of all your tomcat instances on several machines in case of problems and errors.

Juli 2008 15:29 An: Tomcat Users List Betreff: logging I have been asked to see about redirecting the output logs from the various tomcat instances(all are v5.0 and up) we use. My boss would like the logs to be written to a different machine on our Unix network. How would I go about redirecting stdout and stderr in this case? Thanks! -- Lynn Hollerman.
