Problem

How can store logs and browse them later offline?

Solution

The simplest way to store "permanently" logs is to use the ACS Logging Client to store the logs in a file:

   > acsStartLoggingClient > myLogFile.xml

Once you have the logs in a file, you can open the jlog at any time and load the file using the File->Load menu.

ACS does not provide a more sofisticated and standard way to save log messages. Such a tool could be based on the syslog daemon but this decision is left to the application developers that can decide to archive logs for example in a relational database.

The logging client is essentially simply an example to be used to write your own logging archival application.
