Two features that can effect Chainsaw performance, both available from the 'view, application wide preferences' menu:
- Responsiveness slider If you are receiving a lot of events which are affecting Chainsaw's responsiveness, move the slider toward 'slow'. Chainsaw receives events and processes all of the received events in an interval based on this slider value. Moving the slider toward slow increases this interval. - Cyclic buffer size If Chainsaw is using a lot of memory, reduce the cyclic buffer size (note: you can bypass the cyclic buffer on a per-tab basis from the 'current tab, use cyclic' menu item or the toolbar. Hope that helps, Scott Deboy COMOTIV SYSTEMS 111 SW Columbia Street Ste. 950 Portland, OR 97201 Telephone: 503.224.7496 Cell: 503.997.1367 Fax: 503.222.0185 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.comotivsystems.com -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Svensen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue 2/21/2006 4:29 AM To: Log4J Users List Subject: LogFileReceiver and archived logs I am using the LogFileReceiver with Chainsaw and it's working really well. With the latest Chainsaw build, I see that it's tailing even when I filter for a term, which is a really useful improvement in my opinon! Great work! Now for some feature requests (or undocumented features?): Can the LogFileReceiver handle multiple input files? Our application archives log files on a regular basis by gzipping them. It would be very useful to input a file spec with wildcards and have the LogFileReceiver "automagically" open all files matching the and "gunzipping" the ones that have extension .gz. I assume this would be useful to many other users, too? Also, Chainsaw has a heavy footprint memory and CPU-wise. Is this unavoidable with Swing-clients, or could it be tuned? On my WinXP with 2GB memory, Alt-Tab'ing to Chainsaw requires a 3-5 second wait before the GUI is redrawn... ______________________ Thomas Svensen Senior Solutions Engineer Fast Search & Transfer Chr.
