239	document new logging system	zooko	warner	"There is a nice new logging tool in foolscap 0.2.2 which we use in tahoe 0.7.0.

Unfortunately the way to use it currently requires a couple of manual steps:

1.  pass {{{FLOGFILE=flog.pickle.bz2}}} and {{{FLOGTWISTED=1}}} environment variables to the tahoe process

2.  find the resulting {{{flog.pickle.bz2}}} file (in your {{{~/.tahoe}}} directory)

3.  run {{{flogtool dump flog.pickle.bz2}}} on it to get a text output

3.b.  alternately, run {{{flogtool web-viewer flog.pickle.bz2}}} on it to get a nice HTML view with indentation and coloration


We should probably spend some time trying to automate or at least document this process so that people who use tahoe v0.7.0 will have good logging.
