I am using Chainsaw to log events from an application whose processing
is distributed across a mix of java and .net processes. Currently, each
of these processes is producing a log file via a RollingFileAppender. I
am considering that it might be nice to have a single file that
aggregates the output from all of the application's components just as
is happening on the Chainsaw Logging Panel. So:
1) Your reply indicates that this can be done but it isn't
working for me (see my Config file with the previous post).
2) If you think that this is a bad idea then I'd really like to
have the benefit of your thoughts.
Best Regards,
Robert

If your Chainsaw config file includes an appender, the appender will
process events received by Chainsaw (for example, a fileAppender hooked
up to Chainsaw would write any events received by Chainsaw to the log
file, and you probably don't want that to happen)..
For Chainsaw to read log files, you need to add a LogFilePatternReceiver
to the config file.
Here's the example from the sample config:
<plugin name="LogFileReceiver"
class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LogFilePatternReceiver">
<param name="fileURL" value="file:///c:/sample.log"/>
<param name="timestampFormat" value="yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS"/>
<param name="logFormat" value="TIMESTAMP LEVEL [LOGGER] MESSAGE"/>
<param name="name" value="sampleLogFileReceiver"/>
<param name="tailing" value="true"/>
</plugin>
Chainsaw's config file can have any name, it just needs to be accessible
as a URL (and specified as a URL in the application-wide preferences
screen)

Hello Dirk,
Thank you very much. I am a bit embarrassed that I didn't notice
that on my own.
Do you have any comments on the second part of my question
(configuring Chainsaw to use a Rolling File Appender)? It doesn't seem
to be working for me. I've pasted in my config file below.
Robert
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/";
debug="true">
<plugin name="UDPReceiver" class="org.apache.log4j.net.UDPReceiver">
<param name="Port" value="4446"/>
</plugin>
<plugin name="SocketReceiver"
class="org.apache.log4j.net.SocketReceiver">
<param name="Port" value="4560"/>
</plugin>
<appender name="RollingFile"
class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
<param name="File"
value="C:/Nexus/Home/Cimulate/Prototype/Chainsaw.log"/>
<param name="Append" value="true"/>
<param name="MaxFileSize" value="100KB"/>
<param name="maxBackupIndex" value="2"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.SimpleLayout"/>
/appender>
<root>
<priority value="debug"/>
<appender-ref ref="RollingFile"/>
/root>
</log4j:configuration>

At the moment you can not specify this "plugin config" as a System
Property,
but you can specify it via the menu "Show Application wide preferences"
and
then "Automatic Configuration URL" (in fact this info is stored in the
file
chainsaw.settings.properties as configurationURL). You can specify this
url
using file, http or ftp.
