Hi Rebs This on only a suggestion of a direction, one which we (Fluidinfo) are very likely to take too. The ingredients are Twisted (of course) and Scribe (http://developers.facebook.com/scribe/). You can tie these together using the Twisted support we added to Thrift (Scribe uses Thrift). You can optionally be routing log messages through AMQP using txAMQP (https://launchpad.net/txamqp). That's actually a pretty simple solution, given the existence of Twisted support for both Thrift and AMQP (if you want it). But OTOH it's not something you'll get set up without some effort and perhaps head scratching (especially if you add AMQP to the mix - it's considerably simpler if you just use Thrift with its built-in Twisted support). So if your load isn't going to be fairly heavy you'd probably be better doing something simpler. Terry
