Hi,
Like any other application, our application also logs exception (with other information) in a log file. Watching those log files in every now & then is very boring thing.
I was thinking if I can develop a monitoring tool which can look into logs, find exceptions which we are interested in (not all exception are serious, only some of them are of interest to us) & show them on desktop (alert sort of).
Following are things that program will do:
1. Looks into log file in every x minutes.
2. Reads information b/w last lookup time (when it ran for last time) to current time.
3. Looks for exceptions which we are interested in.
4. Show them in some form (
Java Swing can be used, or mails/SMS).
Any suggestions? Something I am ignoring?
Thanks.
