Q: access fields from embedded view selected docs

I have a tricky question. I’d like to check the log.nsf on the server of my choice for certain filtered strings. I have done a simple solution that searches between a start-time and a stop time on a form.

But what I need is something else. Since I can’t (am not allowed) to create agents IN the logfiles I need a way to select any given log-documents to search. I added an embeddev view but the problems are these:

  1. can I use any formula (as I have the option of "select view based on formula)? That would make it flexible to select server!

  2. I guess the best way is to create an agent on Server A that loads the selected documents from Server B, and writes an result onto an form on server A.

What I need to do is a database where you can select the log.nsf of any of our servers, search for a certain string and generate an report of that. To find out what doesn’t work. Any pointers and help would be very valued.
