The Generic Log Adapter (GLA) lets you to process log files and transform their contents into events that follow the Common Base Event (CBE) format. Internally, the GLA consists of a chain of components that have different roles in the transformation process. The last member in the chain is the outputter, the component that externalizes a CBE instance generated by the GLA. Typical destinations for CBE instances include the console, a file, or an autonomic computing log agent, and the GLA ships with outputters for each of these destinations. However, your specific needs might not be addressed by the standard GLA outputters. This tutorial shows you how to write custom outputters. By following the same general pattern you can write any type of GLA component.

Prerequisites

To take this tutorial, you should have a general understanding of autonomic computing technology and moderate experience with the Java programming language. You must download and install the GLA and all its required components as described in the next section. The Eclipse installation included with the GLA is used as the development environment.
