python scripts. It also uses Flash all over the place so the Web app
feels clunky and of course would never be useful from a mobile Web
browser.
So I went off and tried https://landscape.canonical.com/

However the Landscape service also does not collate logs and I wrote
to Canonical asking why. They replied: """
We currently don't capture any logs by default. The reason for this
is simply data volume: we would use a lot of bandwidth collecting
the logs that would be interesting to a lot of people and, for the
most part, that would end up being a waste of resources. Instead,
we recommend you use script execution to fetch logs from one or more
computers at a time when you need to view them."""
I can't help but wonder, what the future for logging holds. Right now
it's a pretty shoddy state of affairs.
