Hello,
We would like that the logs of an application can be read from a remote
server.
We can not use NFS nor the user can come on the application server to
read the logs.
The application is only write his logs into a flat file, no syslog
So is it a way to have a "like syslog" for this type of logs ?
The logs have to be read in "realtime" or very uptodate

Regards

Can you set up something like Apache and use a browser to access the log
files?

Hi,
It could be a solution.
But if we can find another solution it will be better.
Because we are on a Production server and from a architecture point of
view a WEB server here would not be a good place.
I thought to chroot the directory of logs and to come with ssh.
But from a security point of view and also to minimize administration,
we prefer to externalize these logs.
