[logback-user] browsing dbappender logs

I've been using FileAppenders for aeons and want to move my apps (web and headless server apps) to use the DBAppender, but I can't figure out how to view them easily other than hand crafting queries, which is just not sustainable. I looked at the Lilith project and from what I can tell I have to tell my apps to send logs to it, rather than it reading logs already created. Is this correct? I can't add use Lilith to receive logs because I don't want it running all the time just to browse through once a week. What solutions are there for browsing logs stored via a DBAppender? Thanks Chris
