SAP Netweaver 2004s - Components of Monitoring - Standalone Log Viewer

With the standalone log viewer, you can monitor any J2EE Engine or Java application log files, even if the J2EE Engine is not functioning correctly, cannot be started, or is not available on the system to be monitored. The standalone log viewer contains any number of servers and one client:

• 
  The server of the standalone log viewer monitors log files that are registered with this server. It must be installed on every host of the J2EE system landscape. The various servers function independently of each other.
• 
  The client of the standalone log viewer connects to one or more servers of the standalone log viewer and displays the contents of the log files. You only need to install the client once in the J2EE system landscape.

For general information about the standalone log viewer, see the SAP NetWeaver Library
