distribution-log-collector

Currently distribute service is popular, but will introduce one problem which is hard to locate log message under different services/machines. This project is aim to solve this problem, centralized log messsages between different services/machines.

Solution 1: Base on logback

Logback already support send log message via JMS/Socket/SMTP.
However JMS is a bit heavy, and socket is using oio.

Netty base on nio with high performance and easy to use, obvious Netty is a good choice for such usage.

Client side:

1. Implement logback appender
   
2. Send log message to server via Netty
   

Server side:

1. Received message from clients
   
2. Persistent log message with well format
   
3. Provide service api to GUI, like REST or dynamic streaming
   

Solution 2: Monitoring log

Create a individual service to monitoring the log paths, and send via Netty to the server side.
