How are you generating your log files ?


Is the logger program open source  ?


Can you modify it if it is open source ?
If yes , are you ( meaning your team ) able to program modifications ?


Is it compulsory to  store and then process the log files or
Is it possible or  useful to process your communication traffic online if
the logger program is open source ?


If please answer ( if it is suitable for you  )  the above questions , I
want to make suggestions as a continuation of
my message mentioning AVL trees utilization .


Thank you very much .
