Listen to your log files

[Mark Ellison]

Greetings,

This past week at the NEJUG there was an interesting demonstration on
how to simplify the task of checking the contents of log files.
Log4JFugue is an open-source Java API that turns log output into
music.

Essentially you configure the usual search phrases to play a sound,
like a bass drum, snare, or cymbal, etc.  Then you pipe the log file
through the API and listen for problems while checking your GNHLUG
email, updating a Linux kernel or something.

The distro is at: http://log4jfugue.org/

I am interested in hearing from folks on this list- Is the Log4JFugue
tool useful on an ongoing regular basis?  Or, is it more of a novelty
item?

Regards,

Mark
