I'm looking for recommendations for a hosted service to collect logging information from client applications. The service would preferably be a high-availability service using a cloud infrastructure or something equivalent.

I'd like to be able to direct some logging information from my .NET client application (using a logging framework like Log4Net or NLog) to this logging server and then access the log data via a web interface of some kind. Obviously the more features on the web interface for analyzing the log data, the better. Writing a simple service myself to do this wouldn't be that hard, but I'd rather just pay a reasonable monthly fee for someone else to maintain and improve it. The service

I found a couple of options including

  1. Gibraltor Hub @ http://www.gibraltarsoftware.com
  2. LogVerse @ http://www.logverse.com/
  3. LogFaces (not hosted) @ http://www.moonlit-software.com/logfaces/web/

Surely there must be many of these sorts of services out there, but I haven't figured out the right search terms to find them. Any recommendations for services you've used? Thanks!

A: 

The folks at preemptive (dotfuscator) also provide similar services, mostly around usage analysis. They're .Net specific though. I've never used their product so I can't say whether they're good or not. Here's a link to their product: http://www.preemptive.com/products/runtime-intelligence/overview

Hmmmm. That's more like Google Analytics. I suppose that for some usage analysis purposes it would work. But not really for error log purposes. Thanks for the idea though!
