Hi Jacob,
Thanks for very valuable response! Yes I need to store the information retrieved from the log file to the database. That's why I couldn't use this tool directly. Your 1st and 2nd approaches I think could be useful. Will explore it and let you know. Thanks a lot. regards, Prashant -----Original Message----- From: Jacob Kjome [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, April 27, 2010 8:05 PM To: Log4J Users List Subject: Re: FW: Parsing Log4j log file I would either use Chaisaw II [1] or look at the code it uses to read log files. It can read XML formatted files as well as regular log files, as long as you give it the pattern the log was written in. See the LogFilePatternReciever [2]. Chainsaw can even read a remote file using the VFSLogFilePatternReciever [3], so I would suggest using the tool rather than writing the app yourself unless you have very unique requirements.
