[logback-user] Invitation for beta users

[Loren Siebert]

Thorbjørn,

Sorry, no screenshots yet!

The initial functionality I'm aiming for in StackHub are based on  
these sorts of scenarios:
- Easy visualization of event trends over time. For instance, I have a  
Java app that runs on about a dozen servers, occasionally spitting out  
a WARN event when it takes more than 300ms to write a transaction to  
the database. Let me aggregate those together across the whole app and  
track how often they happen over time.
- I deploy a new version of my app and, in the middle of the night, it  
starts throwing uncaught exceptions. Gather them all together but let  
me get notified just once about that, and I'll mark it as resolved  
once I've deployed a fix.
- My app has Jetty embedded, and Jetty spits out log events when  
available sockets are low/unavailable. How often does that happen on  
Host #N, or across the app as a whole? If it happens more than 3 times  
in an hour, I want to be notified.

Logback is perfect for letting an application emit this information to  
a number of different channels (file, SMTP, etc). StackHub aims to  
take that output and make it easier to inspect, analyze, and act upon  
it.

If you have any other questions about StackHub or want to try it out,  
please feel free to contact me off-list.

-Loren
