Log Analyzer tool for Jboss

[its_me]

Hello All,

We have the following lines in our server.xml which can help us track the user activities in our application:

<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.FastCommonAccessLogValve"

           prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".log"

           pattern="common" directory="${jboss.server.home.dir}/log"

           resolveHosts="false" />

Now the new requirement if that there should be a provition to extract the user data from the log - to generate a report so that the user activity can be monitored. Is there any recomended log analyzer/ any other tool for this purpose.

Thanks and Regards,

I do this by splitting into different logfiles by having different appenders for the different logger categories.

Some statistics are created by using unix commands like sed and awk

But I think this will extreme depend on your requirements.

For example there are implementations which write special log entries that can be easily extracted by grep and converted to csv format.
