[Swift-devel] Re: Kickstart

[Brian Tierney]

I was thinking of something similar too.

I think you can leverage the CEDPS work for log collection into a 
database. Adding CEDPS-style logging to GridFTP and WS-Gram is nearly 
complete, and we have parsers that convert old GridFTP and gatekeeper logs.

Also, OSG is starting to deploy our log collection tools.
