Re: [logback-user] Invitation for beta users
Rusty- I am envisioning offering StackHub as a free service as well as some form of a subscription package for deployments with larger volume and more hosts. But that is down the road. Right now I'm just trying to build a free service around features that developers will find useful. Note that it will be a service (not a product) to make it fast and easy to hook up your app, and so we have a platform-agnostic place for sharing ideas and best practices around logging/metrics. Would love to get your feedback if you are interested. -Loren
Is this going to be a commercial product?

Hello-
I'm putting together a service called StackHub that collects your app's logging events and makes the data available for reporting/analysis/notification via a hosted web interface. I am looking for a few Logback users who would like to try out the service and hopefully give me some feedback on what's good and what isn't.
Ideal beta users would have a Logback-enabled production application running on at least two hosts.
Here is the signup link if you are interested: http://www.stackhub.com <http://www.stackhub.com/>
Thank you! -Loren

Thorbjørn, Sorry, no screenshots yet! The initial functionality I'm aiming for in StackHub are based on these sorts of scenarios: - Easy visualization of event trends over time. For instance, I have a Java app that runs on about a dozen servers, occasionally spitting out a WARN event when it takes more than 300ms to write a transaction to the database. Let me aggregate those together across the whole app and track how often they happen over time. - I deploy a new version of my app and, in the middle of the night, it starts throwing uncaught exceptions. Gather them all together but let me get notified just once about that, and I'll mark it as resolved once I've deployed a fix. - My app has Jetty embedded, and Jetty spits out log events when available sockets are low/unavailable. How often does that happen on Host #N, or across the app as a whole? If it happens more than 3 times in an hour, I want to be notified. Logback is perfect for letting an application emit this information to a number of different channels (file, SMTP, etc). StackHub aims to take that output and make it easier to inspect, analyze, and act upon it. If you have any other questions about StackHub or want to try it out, please feel free to contact me off-list. -Loren On Apr 1, 2009, at 11:50 AM, Thorbjoern Ravn Andersen wrote:
