Log Viewer
Either I am without google skills or what seem like common problems rarely have a packaged answer. So I am running a cluster of servers all using log4j to write to a number of machine specific logs. Why is there no way for me to aggregate those logs and view in some secure fashion. I know I can use a JMSappender and write it to a DB, but even then I am forced to write the front-end and any security. I just want a little web page that can authenticate me and show me this info. Isn't there a cheap utility I can buy to do this for me. In my old age I have become lazy and hate writing this kinda stuff. Maybe that means I am no longer a true programmer.

I have watched Chainsaw for awhile and I like most of it but... I do not want to stream events from production to our remote offices either over the open internet or by creating a peristent secure tunnel of some kind. I just want an interface than can read my standard files and display them with some simple for of authentication - essentially allow all the developers to browse the logs at their leisure without creating some kind of security hole (sometimes our exceptions may contain sensitive data that I don't want to stream). If chainsaw can do that then I am there, if not I am still looking. Overall I like the features and functionality.
