Software systems have many faces.
Meet them with our simple, yet sophisticated, logging tool.

Log data collection is gathered in one place. logFaces is a centralized log server designed to handle magnitude of applications running on different machines.

Compatibility

Currently we support log4j.dtd compliant format which can be used with log4j, logback, NLog, log4net, log4cpp, slf4j and any other framework using this format. System is platform-independent due to its Java™ nature. Client distribution is available for Windows 32/64 bit and Linux gtk x86 for 32/64 bits. Server distribution is available for Windows 32/64 bit, Linux x86 32/64 bit, Solaris SPARC 32/64 bit.

High throughput

Our typical tests on an average desktop computer show that logFaces Server can consume up to a 1000 of log statement per second. Those numbers, of course, depend on hardware, network, database and amount of data being transmitted.

Structured storage

logFaces comes with its own embedded database requiring zero administration. Log events going through the log server are organized for database queries. You can specify which events should or shouldn't be persisted, and for how many days you would like keep the data.

Access Control

logFaces server can be integrated with LDAP for authenitcation and authorization.

Friendly log viewer

logFaces client is an Eclipse™ type applications. Users create views of the log stream coming through the log server which we call log perspectives. Perspectives are filters telling log server what to dispatch to a given log viewer. They can overlap, meaning that different users can see the same or partially overlapped data streams in real time. It is also possible to receive an audible chime when errors occur. Log viewer also allows flexible database queries, search and drills.
