HypertextLogger for server application logs
Logging can be very helpful in analyzing the (faulty) behavior of a server application in response to client requests. HypertextLogger is a simple component that produces HTML in response to logging instructions. Its main purpose it to provide a better readable log file. By choosing you favorite CSS, you can highlight what is important and leave other information unfocused (timestamps).

Upon creation of the logger, it produces a new .html file to which logging events are written. Because most Browsers can deal with open-ended (i.e. not properly closed by tags) HTML files, a single page can be used to collect lots of events. And if you let e.g. Apache serve these log files, you can monitor server applications remotely.
