Damian I now see your point about stuffing this into a DB; if you can categorize it into an enum or even set and normalized particularly here where it may be bound to grow and grow (and grow) seems like it could then be harvested into a quick daily admin summary email via cron to tell you stuff like # exceptions in past 24 hrs chart of exceptions sources breakdown by criticality assignment e.g. inetd > apache > ftpd You could even have detailed report links embedded in the email or at least on the admin control panel. Hmm, this is starting to sound a like product.
