If your log files are accessible via a URL and were written using a FileAppender
specifying a PatternLayout, use LogFilePatternReceiver.
LogFilePatternReceiver provides a 'tailing' parameter which will tail the files (view
in real-time or offline). You'll also need to customize the 'logFormat' parameter to
match the format in your log file.
Add this to your chainsaw configuration file (an example configuration file is
available from the 'Welcome' tab):
<plugin name="logfile" class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LogFilePatternReceiver">
<param name="timestampFormat" value="yyyy-MM-d HH:mm:ss,SSS"/>
<param name="logFormat" value="RELATIVETIME [THREAD] LEVEL LOGGER * - MESSAGE"/>
<param name="fileURL" value="file:///c:/server.log"/>
<param name="tailing" value="true"/>
</plugin >
You can also use a SocketAppender to send events directly to the Chainsaw app, or use
SocketHubAppender on the event source side and SocketHubReceiver in Chainsaw.
If you write events to a file using XMLLayout, there currently isn't a receiver which
will 'tail' the file, but you can view the events by opening the file through the File
menu.
We are working on supporting VFS but it will be a while before it's available.

Subject: chainsaw for viewing messages remotely??
Hi,
I am exploring chainsaw v2 of log4j's latest development and my
requirement is such that i want to view my log messages remotely, say at the
client's end. Is there any way or configuration in chainsaw using which i
can view my offline and real-time log-messages from a remote machine while
they are getting generated on the server machine. I wonder if anyone has
tried this. can anyone help me out?
Regards,
Amit
