Appreciating all your help, Amit -----Original Message----- From: Scott Deboy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 2004 10:21 PM To: Log4J Users List Subject: RE: chainsaw for viewing messages remotely?? 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.

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?
