Abstract
Logging data to a database involves gathering log data from one or more applications executing on a first data-processing arrangement. The log data is gathered via a data-gathering utility executing on a first data-processing arrangement. The log data is sent via a network to a Web services interface of a log server. The log data is stored in a database accessible by the log server. The status of the first data processing arrangement is determined based on the log data stored in the database.References Cited

- 1. A processor-based method for logging data, comprising: gathering, via a data-gathering utility executing on a first data-processing arrangement, log data from one or more applications executing on the first data-processing arrangement; sending, via a network, the log data to a Web services interface of a log server; storing the log data in a database accessible by the log server; and determining status of the first data processing arrangement based on the log data stored in the database.
- 15. A processor-based method for handling log data, comprising: associating a unique identifier associated with a transaction involving two or more data processing arrangements coupled via a network; gathering log data associated with the transaction via data-gathering utilities executing on each of the data processing arrangements, wherein the log data includes the unique identifier associated with the transaction; sending, via the network, the log data to a Web services interface of a log server; storing the log data in a database accessible by the log server; sending, to the Web services interface of the log server, a query configured to select a set of the log data from the database based on the unique identifier associated with the log data; and retrieving the selected set of data from the log server.
- 21. A processor-readable medium, comprising: a program storage device configured with instructions for causing a processor of a data processing arrangement to perform the operations of, gathering log data from one or more applications executing on the data processing arrangement; sending, via a network, the log data to a log server for insertion into a database accessible by the log server; and receiving, via the network, an alert describing a malfunction of the data processing arrangement, the malfunction determined based on the log data sent to the log server.
- 28. A processor-readable medium, comprising: a program storage device configured with instructions for causing a processor of a data processing arrangement to perform the operations of, receiving, via a network, log data from a plurality of client data processing arrangements, wherein each client data processing arrangement includes a data-gathering utility that gathers data from applications of the respective client data processing arrangement; storing the log data in a database accessible by the data processing arrangement; determining a status of at least one of the client data processing arrangements based the log data received from the client data processing arrangements; and sending, via the network, an alert to the at least one client data processing arrangement based on determining the status of the at least one client data processing arrangement.
- 34. A system, comprising: means for gathering log data from one or more applications of a first data-processing arrangement; means for sending, via a network, the log data to a log server; means for storing the log data in a database accessible by the log server; means for comparing the log data with other log data received from additional data processing arrangements; and means for determining malfunctions of the first data processing arrangement based on the comparison of the log data.
