Hi devs, I'd like to start brainstorming about implementing a notion of console from within XE. The idea is that most of our current logs that go in the shell console are actually application-level logs that should be visible to wiki developers (developers of applications inside XE). I've started a design page at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ConsoleModule Here are some initial ideas: * centralized logs available from all nodes * idea: use activity stream * UI: a new console tab in pages for all logs for the page * UI: an admin page for all console logs with a livetable for filtering * nice: real time addition of new logs (comet and co) * memory cache (eg last 100 logs) + block save (anti flood protection) * long term logging with compacting * system log vs application log * Requirement: current node id * Console Module / Application with API * idea: appender for slf4j (note: could use MDC for additional data: http://www.slf4j.org/api/org/slf4j/MDC.html) WDYT? Shoot your ideas! Thanks -Vincent
