Push Jetty or Tomcat server directly to a Splunk server

[ghannemann]

How do I get Tomcat or Jetty server to reliably stream high volumes logs to an indexer with out writing to the application server local disk?

I would use an appender from the SplunkJavaLogging framework to stream events over TCP directly to Splunk.
There are appenders for the 3 main JVM logging implementations : java,util.logging , Log4J , LogBack.

Your Tomcat / Jetty servers will be using 1 of these logging implementations.

Thanks - I will have a look at this and report back!
