Delphi: Application error logging in the field

Question

Using Delphi 7, I wonder if there is a free component which will collect diagnostic information as my application runs at a remote site and will help me to debug error reports.<

Answer 1

There is a great delphi porting of the most known opensource logging framework written in java, Log4J: it is called Log4Delphi.

http://log4delphi.sourceforge.net

I downloaded it, extended and used with my projects with success.

Best features: opensource, Apache license, very well documented, simple to extend it, power design: with the concept of appender, you could build up your custom appender and use it to send logging data from remote customer computer to your head quarter using UDP protocol.

Try it, and let me know :-)

PS: the project seems to be discontinued, but it is mature and I'd used it without memory overload and cpu overhead problems.
