Facebook Open Sources Scribe Server

Facebook announced another contribution to the open source community this weekend with the open sourcing of its Scribe Server. The source code is now available on SourceForge. What does Scribe do?

Scribe is a server for aggregating log data streamed in real time from a large number of servers. It is designed to be scalable, extensible without client-side modification, and robust to failure of the network or any specific machine.

Basically, Scribe is a good way to get large volumes of messages from large numbers of servers.
