Log4j doesn't have an NT event log receiver, but it does have 
LogFilePatternReceiver, which can be used to read syslog messages, IIS logs, 
etc.  

You could use Chainsaw V2 configured with these various receivers to see the 
events.  The events may end up in separate tabs, depending on what you have set 
as your 'tab identifier'.

Even if you have Chainsaw configured to use the default tab identifier (events 
for each file are displaying in their own tab), use the 'view-create custom 
expression log panel' to combine events from these separate tabs into a single 
tab.

Hope this helps

Scott

my apologies, you are absolutely correct.
Also ... Log4j comes with many appenders already capable of doing this
(socket, JMS) so you might not even have to write your own.


In an enterprise setting we might run into applications where we can't
control their logging, e.g. code out of our control may log to an IIS log,
NT Event Log, Unix Syslog, etc.  In such situations a viewer such as XpoLog
can bring disparate data together into a single view.  The only requirement
is that a datetime-stamp be in each record.

But you're absolutely right - if you have control over the code then Log4j
provides a solution out of the box.

Write your own appender, which will do the job
