There is a VFSLogFilePatternReceiver that can act as a receiver and access log files from a remote location using Jakarta Commons VFS (which treats many remote locations just like a normal File/Dir, including ssh).

IIRC, and Scott should pick me up here, you can use the current Web start version of Chainsaw, but you must place Commons VFS jars and it's dependencies including the ssh libraries it requires in your JAVA_HOME/ext/lib. this is because of classloading behaviour.

See: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/vfs/

and

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/vfs/download.html

You'll need the JSCH  library to do ssh/sftp stuff.

Scott, care to extend on this?

cheers,

Paul Smith

Hi:

I've been using log4j and chainsaw w/ the SocketHubAppender and SocketHubReviever from
within an intranet. I would like to use chainsaw for those logs from outside the intranet, however,
for security reasons those ports are not (and will not be) exposed. I was thinking of tunneling through ssh, but,
there is no authentication. Any suggestions?


Cheers,
Amy
