void registerCollector(String file,
                       Properties props)
                       throws RemoteException

This method registers a new collector instance which tracks the given log file.

Parameters:

file -

props -

Throws:

RemoteException - In case an error occurs such as the file does not exist or the file-format is not supported. Since currently only one collector can listen on a file, an exception is also thrown if a new collector is registered on a already observed file.

unregisterCollector

void unregisterCollector(String file)
                         throws RemoteException

This method stops the collector listening on the given file.

Parameters:

file - The file on which the collector listens.

Throws:

RemoteException - In case an error occurs.

listCollectors

List<String> listCollectors()
                            throws RemoteException

This method returns a list of all currently running listeners.

Returns:

A list of textual descriptions of all listeners.
