You have a couple of options: - Change the system-wide 'tab identifier' Events are routed to chainsaw based on the fields in the event. The default tab identifier is 'PROP.hostname - PROP.application', meaning each event is examined for a 'hostname' and 'application' properties, and the values are concatenated together with a ' - ', and whatever value that is, that's the tab that event goes to.
See the tutorial (from the help menu) for a list of valid identifiers. I believe the file-based receivers hijack the hostname and application properties in order to build a tab that makes sense, so you would probably need to use some other event attribute or property. You could use LEVEL as the tab identifier (you'd get one tab for each level). You can even use EVENTS as a tab identifier (all events from all sources go to a single EVENTS tab). - create a new tab that is a 'view' of events on other tabs Use the 'view, create custom expression logpanel' menu and build an expression (again, see the tutorial) that will collect your events from the two log files into a single tab (usually an expression like 'logger ~= com.yourcompany' will work).
