Hi Mark & Ceki(& everyone else),

I've started checking some mods to SocketReceiver into the sandbox.  Would
anyone mind taking a peek at what I've done, and provide any feedback?

What I'm attempting to do is provide a dialog box for Chainsaw that shows
all the Receivers in a little hierarchy, and show each Receiver with any
children, if they have any.  e.g. for a Socket Receiver, show all the
currently connected socket details with IP/hostname & port. (you can see
this by starting up chainsaw and choosing the View->Show Receivers... menu
item. )

I'd then like the user to be able to start/stop a specific plugin via the
GUI, and either disconnect, or "pause" a Net-based receiver. Perhaps by
setting some threshold for a Receiver?  Could we have a Threshold on a
receiver too, just like an Appender?  This could be in addition (but just
prior) to passing it through the localLogger's own threshold.

This pause option would be particularly handy, because currently Chainsaw
only has a pause that is very late in the event reception cycle (just about
as late as you can get), be nice to cut all that work off at the knees as
early as possible and tell a specific Receiver, or even SocketNode to just
"forgetaboutit", and then resume when you are interested in monitoring the
events.

cheers,

Paul Smith
