I’m using slf4j + Logback in a Spring Web MVC project. Besides logging to stdout using the “ConsoleAppender”, I had the idea of seeing the same logs on a webpage (think of an admin area inside my Spring Web MVC project. Are there already such kind of see-your-logs-as-HTML implementations available for Logback?
On-demand generation of log website would be great, fallback to static HTML would also be okay.
I guess you have couple of options in regards to Logback. This is the same scenario I was battling with a while back.
DBAppender to log to a db table (MySQL, Oracle etc) and write some backend code (PHP/JAVA) to fetch the tables. You can also look into PHP template engines(ex TinyButStrong) that provide pretty simple way to access databases to present the view (html) – http://logback.qos.ch/manual/appenders.html
From my painful experience, I’ve convinced my team to use Splunk for Logging purposes. It’s an amazing tool, and easy to setup without the overhead above. It provides a web interface for all your logging/monitoring purposes. So…you are not buildig it yourself. And they have 500mb free license per day. Which isn’t much, but its worth it. http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk

I suggest you give Splunk a try first.
