If you can't wait....

We use a Linux box to SMB mount the log directories, most are W2K boxes.
Then you can use your favorite UNIX tools to search for results. I use
ht://Dig, http://www.htdig.org/, it can be configured for text searches
through log files. With some basic scripting you can setup a pretty good log
management system with an easy to use http front end. I provide a pull down
list of all servers to allow specific searches and also an "all log" search.
The script smbmounts the log directory, launches the search, provides
results if any and unmounts the directory.

Hope this helps, Good Luck...Still looking forward to 5.3.

Is there a TSM add on that is a centralized manager for the clients?
Something along the lines of I can view all the TSM logs for each client in
one place as well as be able to restore files from one place for all TSM
clients without logging into a web or gui on the client side?
