storage of cache logs via ftp would be useful as well.

This part you can do now with a Filer, and even better, you can then access those logs via CIFS or NFS from your log analysis tool. The rest I'll leave to others to debate the possibility or value of.

I am happy to beta test any such appliance and give feedback to the supplier.

I'm guessing you're already a Filer user, so I look forward to your feedback. :)

Regards, Matt.

Hi, please ignore my email if you think not relevent to the toasters or cache email lists

Does anyone know of a 'syslog' applicance box that has a nice management interface to system, has a nice archival system for old logs and can cope with large amounts of file store for old logs. I am well aware this can be done with unix boxs etc and raid arrays but it seems since syslog is a single function the applicance route map maybe the bext method of progression. a newreader functionality to read the syslog store would be useful as well. storage of cache logs via ftp would be useful as well. storage of archival system email would also be useful.

I am happy to beta test any such appliance and give feedback to the supplier.
