See the 'Welcome' tab in Chainsaw, and click 'View example Receiver Configuration' toolbar button. Copy and paste that to a file, and remove all of the plugin entries except for: <plugin name="XMLSocketReceiver" class="org.apache.log4j.net.XMLSocketReceiver"> <param name="decoder" value="org.apache.log4j.xml.UtilLoggingXMLDecoder"/> <param name="Port" value="2222"/> </plugin> And modify that port to match what you need, and save as chainsaw-config-util-logging-socket.xml or something like that. Then, in Chainsaw, select File, Load Chainsaw configuration, use a Chainsaw config file, open file, browse to that chainsaw-config-util-logging-socket.xml file, and click ok. You should start seeing your events show up in the UI.
