If you're thinking about runtime warnings, as opposed to plain
administrative actions that should be taken, there are some things which
are WARN/ERROR in logs that may be good to show too so they don't get
lost. For example timeouts acquiring pooled resources, such as EJBs
instances or JDBC connections, which may indicate problems or
mis-configuration.

I have a half-baked idea about detecting excessive GC pauses in managed
servers, which if it worked could make a useful runtime warning.
