Thank you for these great ideas! I will
take a look at both of these options in more detail.
I'm not a fan of tying myself to WebSphere,
but I do like the idea of using a common cache mechanism over making manual
modifications to an xml file (and having to make sure that the single xml
file is available to both servers...which would require a significant change
to how our applications are packaged and deployed).
I think I am also going to investigate
the possibility of creating an external application that will allow me
to connect to any remote JMX MBeanServer and change the logging as needed.
The user will have to provide the connection information, but will be ok
as long as they can access any server they want from this single application
(providing our company's infrastructure will allow and support this).
Thanks,

When the user makes a level change using the UI you provide, make the
level change programmatically and then dump the current logger state
into the config file reserved for setting logger levels. The other
instances will pickup the change in the included config file (reserved
for setting logger levels).
Dumping the current state should be as easy as iterating over all the
loggers and then writing XML elements such as
<logger name="a" level="INFO"/>
I'd be happy to help if you wish to go along this route.
