Hi Mike, In my case, logfiles are sent to me from different remote sites that are "offline". So all I really need is to have chainsaw load the logfile so I can view it.
In my config file, this is what I have <layout type="log4net.Layout.XMLLayout" /> I'm new to this and documentation is a bit sketchy so I'm wondering if "XmlLayoutSchemaLog4j" is a valid layout type. Btw, what changes are needed to chainsawconfig.xml as well as the log4net's timestamp? Where can I find the information for these? Thanks and sorry for the '20 questions'.

I didn't need to make any changes to have it read a log file written by the log4net RollingFileAppender with XmlLayoutSchemaLog4j (although log4net's timestamp needed to be revised). "Out of the box" it doesn't tail an XML log file so I wrote an XMLLogFileAppender. I didn't need any changes for Chainsaw to work with log4net's UdpAppender. I'm actually pretty impressed by how easy the Web Start was to get running. At time I did this, I needed to manually edit the ChainsawConfig.xml file; I don't know if this is still required. The build of Chainsaw isn't error free (there are about 37 Javadoc warnings) and there is an exception to do with VFS. I'm using it with an old build of log4net so YMMV.
