GridWay

Hello Gridway Team

usually every mature software on Linux offers the opportunity to write logs in the Syslog format, at least considering the /usr/bin/logger binary and offering some place/way to configure the facility and priority of the log emitted; this allow to the System Administrator to store the logs in a central point, possibly using also a DB and a visualization tool to browse and search important events occurred during the time.

Just to show a concrete example, my personal choice, so far, is a centralized logging system based on rsyslog and MySQL http://www.rsyslog.com/ and the tool phplogcon http://www.phplogcon.com/ but there are several choices on the market.

Also, Syslog compliant logs are important to write own rules for Realtime Logs Analysis tools like OSSEC http://www.ossec.net/ and receive alerts by e-mail when Gridway can't work properly.

thanks for your attention,
good work
