I have been working on WebLogic server for more than 3 years. I do monitor server log files, Server status, Data source , JMS servers, deployed application status, CPU/Memory usage and much more J2EE applications related metrics. This was a repetitive task for me checking manually everything on console .I always thought of writing some scripts , even i wrote one Jython script which was giving HTML formatted report.

One of the most important aspects of developing an efficient system is to have clean, helpful logs that will help you understand what errors are being triggered, and what information is being processed. When you are first creating an application, you might not know what logging framework will be most suitable for your future needs, or you could simply want your system to remain agnostic regarding the logging implementation to be used.
