Thanks for the reply. Right now I'm trying to use the embedded
chainsaw.
I kick it off by running:
java org.apache.log4j.chainsaw.Main
Chainsaw does come up however there is an exception thrown:
log4j:ERROR Could not connect to remote log4j server at
[localhost]. We
will try again later.
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method)
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(PlainSocketImpl.java:
305)
at
java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(PlainSocketImpl.java:171)
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(PlainSocketImpl.java:
158)
at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:452)
at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:402)
at java.net.Socket.<init>(Socket.java:309)
...
The Chainsaw window comes up empty. I select "File->Load File" and
point
it to one of the xml formatted log files that the parent
application is
generating. Chainsaw displays a message "Loaded 0 events" and after
clicking "ok" the window remains empty. Here's a snapshot of the
contents of the log file to show how it is formatted:
<event logger="root" timestamp="1118713924311" level="WARN"
thread="SB1_OPIKE1" sequence_no="330">

Subject: Re: Help with setting up chainsaw with log4j
Chainsaw within the log4j 1.2.x series can be started by following
the instructions here:
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/api/org/apache/log4j/chainsaw/
package-summary.html
The new version 2 of Chainsaw can be started via Java Webstart:
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/webstart/chainsaw/
chainsawWebStart.jnlp
Check here for more information on the new version of Chainsaw (you
can download a standalone bundle of it if you want):
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/chainsaw.html
Configuration of Chainsaw v2 is relatively simple, if you setup your
remote application appender as follows:
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, CHAINSAW_CLIENT
log4j.appender.CHAINSAW_CLIENT=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender
log4j.appender.CHAINSAW_CLIENT.RemoteHost=localhost
log4j.appender.CHAINSAW_CLIENT.Port=4445
(this assumes you're debugging locally, using localhost as the
location to broadcast to, you can use a SocketHubAppender in the
reverse fashion with multiple Chainsaw clients able to connect to
the
same application)
Then start Chainsaw v2, it should pop up and ask if you want to
start
a Receiver, choose a matching SocketReceiver (or SocketHubAppender)
and the correct port, and you should be ok.
Just watch out for the different version of log4j. Chainsaw v2 uses
the new log4j 1.3 Alpha code-base, and the LocationInfo from a log4j
1.2.x series application has some oddities.
Hope that helps.
cheers,

I'm working with an application that uses log4j as its logging

and I want to use Chainsaw. It comes bundled with log4j.jar. I
can't
find a log4j.properties anywhere with the application, but within
log4j.jar there's a file, defaultconfig.properties whose contents
are:
# For the general syntax of property based configuration files see
the
# documenation of org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator.
# The root category uses the appender called A1. Since no
priority is
# specified, the root category assumes the default priority for
root
# which is DEBUG in log4j. The root category is the only category
that
# has a default priority. All other categories need not be
assigned a
# priority in which case they inherit their priority from the
# hierarchy.
log4j.rootCategory=, A1
# A1 is set to be a LogMonitorAppender which outputs to a swing
# logging console.
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.lf5.LF5Appender
I'm guessing I need to make some changes to this file?
Thanks,
