[uf-discuss] Logging information

[LuigiG]

Thank you guys. 
hCalendar and hAtom seem pretty close to what I'm
looking for. 
The idea is, basically, to provide: 
a) structured embedding of log information in web
based monitoring tools. (rather than just "a lump of
text")
b) exposal of a log as a set of RSS feeds, one for
each severity threshold (e.g. anything from WARN up)
which could be subscribed to by both "human targeted"
readers and other types of tools, such as SMS alert
bots or report generators (hence the value of log
metadata).

So the two formats look very interesting.

We also have an app that generates a hierarchical log
(currently viewable via a custom tree-view gui), so I
need to figure out whether nesting is possible/legal
in hClendar or hAtom.

Tentative (very tentative) example:

<ul class="vcalendar">
  <li class="vevent">
    <span class="dtstart
dtend">2007-03-03.13:43:21</span> <span
class="summary">INFO</span>
    <span class="description">Task 123 running</span>
    <ul class="vcalendar">
     <li class="vevent">
      <span class="dtstart
dtend">2007-03-03.13:43:30</span> <span
class="summary">DEBUG</span>
      <span class="description">Sending File
FILE1.DAT</span>
     </li>
     <li class="vevent">
      <span class="dtstart
dtend">2007-03-03.13:43:38</span> <span
class="summary">DEBUG</span>
      <span class="description">Sending File
FILE2.DAT</span>
     </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>


The alternative would be to flatten the structure,
(kind of a left outer join), but that's not my
favorite solution.

Thanks again,

Luigi
