Hi,

I have two applications servers running J2EE servers (Jboss for instance). They are running the same applications in a load balancing/fail over perspective. For security and policy reason NetBios can't be installed and then no share drive are available.

My problem is that I would like to be able to monitor log4j message coming from our applications without playing the 'Disk Jockey' role for locking the write log file. I imagine that a solution is using JMSAppender and have a kind of listener on each server which will log it into a file.

I saw in other mails that chainsaw is able to capture the JMS message, but is it able to serialize the received message to keep an history trace and at client start-up load this trace and then receive the current sent messages?

I'll appreciate to receive more information on the best practice to monitor applications running on different server.

Thx

Dominique
