My personal chose is to have each server with its logs files, and them, offline after rotate them, merge them into a big one file to merge the log I used to use the 'mergerlog' command: About: mergelog is a small and fast C program, which merges HTTP log files by date in 'Common Log Format' (Apache default log format) from Web servers, behind round-robin DNS. It has been designed to easily process huge logs from highly stressed servers, and can manage gzipped files. cu roger __________________________________________ RedHat Certified Engineer ( RHCE ) Cisco Certified Network Associate ( CCNA ) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
