iLog is a powerful and flexible logging tool that gives you a central point of control for monitoring system activity. You can use iLog to track activities, notify you of problems, and even take action when necessary, based on specific conditions you define.
iLog centralizes vital information by receiving, filtering, storing, and relaying messages from applications, systems, hardware, and even other iLogs, in a variety of ways. iLog sorts the messages based on your criteria, unifying the information into a single location of your choice, in the form most convenient to you.

PRIORITY
FILTERING
Applications send messages to iLog via Apple-Events or by using the
standard Unix syslogd protocol. Those messages can be anything an
application or device can report, such as when a program launches or
quits, when a file transfer is performed, or when a connection is
dropped.
When an application sends a message to iLog, it includes a priority level indicating the importance of the message. iLog uses this information to determine how to respond to the message.
iLog can sort messages into two different types of logs, and it can respond to messages with five different types of notifiers. You can have iLog store all messages into its master log, or you can store just some of the messages, based on their priority level, into a text file. You can also use iLog’s filtering to relay some or all log information over the internet, blink an icon or put up a dialog box, send an e-mail, page you, and/or execute an AppleScript.
DETAILED
TRACKING
iLog creates a centralized list, or Master Log, of all the messages
it receives. Each log entry contains the source of the message, the
priority, the message text, and the date and time the message was
received by iLog. The Master Log automatically stores up to 500
messages of all priority levels. You can limit the types of messages
stored by the Master Log by raising the minimum priority each entry
must have. And you can change the size of the Master Log by setting
the maximum number of entries anywhere between one and 25,000
messages.
iLog can also store messages into a Text Log. Like the Master Log, the Text Log can record all messages, or you can limit the types of messages stored based on the minimum priority level of each message. You can also control the size of the Text Log by changing the default of 32k to any size between 1k and 99,999k.
SPECIALIZED
RESPONSES
In addition to creating logs of messages, you can have iLog notify
you, and/or respond when necessary, by choosing any or all of these
options:
Each of these Notifier types can be set to respond whenever iLog receives messages at or above a specific priority level, allowing you to finely tune your system management.
WEB ACCESS
iLog also includes an industry standard WEBSTAR plug-in which lets
you view your Master Log with any web browser. The iLog Plug-in gives
you the most recent log entries, current up to the moment of your
request, so you can monitor your systems' activities from virtually
any location.

With iLog, not only can Rebound!/Kick-off! get you up and running, but you will also know what was happening at the time of the problem.
DEVELOPER
SUPPORT
iLog comes with our iLog Software Developer's Kit, a set of
information and code to let you take advantage of iLog's power in
your applications!
FULLY SCRIPTABLE
For complete control, all of iLog's settings can be set with
AppleScript. You can increase reporting before critical activity
periods, then decrease it during normal operations. And of course you
can send messages to be logged from your scripts.
AUTOMATION TRUMP
The stand-alone iLog includes a preview of DiaLogger, our handy new

messages' text in iLog so your server can get on with the business at
hand.
