There was a typo there, but I'd use a config file instead. Here's a chainsaw config xml file that works:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration > <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/"; debug="true"> <plugin name="LogFileReceiver" class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LogFilePatternReceiver"> <param name="fileURL" value="file:///c:/events.txt"/> <param name="timestampFormat" value="yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS"/> <param name="logFormat" value="TIMESTAMP LEVEL*(THREAD) [CLASS] MESSAGE"/> <param name="name" value="sampleLogFileReceiver"/> <param name="tailing" value="true"/> </plugin> <root> <level value="debug"/> </root> </log4j:configuration> And here are some events it can process: 2006-03-30 09:52:09,120 INFO ([impl:3]_3:) [ Factory] info message 2006-03-30 09:52:09,120 DEBUG ([impl:3]_3:) [ Strategy] debug message 2006-03-30 09:52:09,322 ERROR (ulerThread:) [ ErrorLogger] error message. Specify the xml file in the 'automatic configuration url' box. Good luck You can also turn on your java console which may show an exception.

I get a message saying that my reciver started ("TGV started!") in the chainsaw log, but I never get a tab created at the top. I have saved the events and attached them to this e-mail. You can see in the file that it did start; <log4j:message><![CDATA[TGV started!]]></log4j:message> But I never get a tab for my reciver at the top. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Deboy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 4:38 PM To: Log4J Users List Subject: RE: Chainsaw doesn't show receiver tab for LogFilePatternReceiver Your xml config file looks correct. If you're building a receiver config by hand, filterExpression should be an expression using Chainsaw's expression syntax - it will only process events in the file matching the expression, like LEVEL > WARN (see the tutorial for more info). The chainsaw-log tab should have information about why the receiver is not processing events. Can you provide a few sample events?

I have attached a sample log file to this e-mail. I have also tried using the attached config file. I am creating a receiver for the file using the following parameters; fileURL: file:///c:/events.log filterExpression: %r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n logFormat: PROP[RELATIVETIME) [THREAD] LEVEL LOGGER * - MESSAGE name: TGV tailing: false timestampFormat: yyyy-MM-d HH:mm:ss,SSS In the Chainsaw log tab I am seeing messages that my filter expression is incorrect. ************************************************************************ ***** The information contained in this message, including attachments, may contain privileged or confidential information that is intended to be delivered only to the person identified above.
