If you aren't already, I'd suggest trying the latest developer snapshot.
It has built-in support for generating a Chainsaw configuration from a
fileappender/conversionpattern:
- File, load Chainsaw configuration menu
- Use fileappender entries from a log4j config file (can be .properties or
.xml)
- Select the 'open file' button and browse to your log4j configuration
file containing the fileappender entries
- Optionally select 'always start Chainsaw with this' and probably 'Save
configuration as'
Let me know if that doesn't work.
If you are having problems, you can always use 'MESSAGE' as your logformat,
which will not parse the line at all, just write the entire line to the
'MESSAGE' field.
