App for JBoss server log files

teleman328 — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 14:48:38 GMT

Is there an application to analyze server logs from jboss application server - redhat jboss application server platform. If not is there specific format to use to gain the most functionality out of the server.log. It will be used as an audit mechanism, search and alert on errors, status etc.

Thanks

I was wondering the same thing. At the very least, what sourcetype is everyone using?

There is no app for JBoss currently that i have found. It will most likely have the log4j sourcetype applied to it. See our auto recognized sourcetype list below.
