Question

Error Logging Tools

I've been tasked with finding out how other companies implement error logging.  I'm not interested so much in how to use Coldfusion to log errors, I'm more interested in whether folks are using third party error logging tools.

What tools does your company use to manage application wide error logging?

Thanks in Advance

    I do find ColdFusion's own logging apparatus, including custom logging using, for example, <cflog>, sufficient for ColdFusion's needs. My bet is that the majority of ColdFusion Developers do as well.

    We use log4j which is incorporated within CF. Don't using CFLog as it is nothing more than a very limited shell on top of log4j. Research log4j and go through the documentation as it is very full featured. Hope this helps.

    That's an Apache project right?  We don't run Apache.  I'm guessing I would have to configure Apache to enable this app to function?

    Mike-

    Don't confuse Apache Software Foundation (ASF) (the organization) with Apache HTTP Server (the web server, a specific product of the ASF).  ASF has more than 150 top-level projects,including Apache HTTP Server, Apache Tomcat, Apache Lucene, Apache SOLR, and Apache log4j.  They are completely separate and standalone products.

    The problem is most people refer to Apache HTTP Server as just "Apache" (although 95% of the time people will know what you mean by the context).
