The artful logger.

Logging settings changes? What a good idea! When it comes to logging, less is not more; less is, in fact, less - more is more.

We use log4j to log everything in sight, with a DailyRollingFileAppender to keep from taking up too much space. We do get some pretty hefty log files, though, so we use Tail for Windows to keep an eye on them in real-time, or Python (what else!) to trawl through them if we are looking for something in particular.
