RE: Chainsaw:
It's the splitting of the events into different tabs, the frst one, tab highlighting, was related to what rules for highlighting are defined per tab. I think Scott Deboy has already done the saving of the colouring prefs, that should be working? The tab identifier preference is now available (thanks to Scott) from the View menu-Application-wide preferences. See the General tab of that preference panel, 'Tab Identifier'. The value you place in this field is a bit unclear at this early stage, but is an 'expression'. For example, the default is to look for 2 properties within each event to grab the hostname and the 'application'. Since these are defined within the LoggingEvent's Properties collection, it is referenced like this: PROP.hostname - PROP.application (hostname and application meaning to lookup the value of that key in the event's properties, you can configure the, say, SocketAppender to add the application property automatically) If you wanted a Tab for each Level, you could just use this expression: Level You can mix and match different event elements to come up with your own unique way of identifying which tab an event should get sent to. The docs on what expression elements are currently supported is here: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-log4j/src/java/org/apache/log4j/chainsaw/LoggingEventFieldResolver.java (click on the first 'view' link to see the source, the javadoc should get you started) cheers, Paul - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Thinking about log4j performance
In almost all cases this is correct, the logging done to the appender is all done within the same thread.

RE: Dynamic Configuration
Problem 1: I think we'll need to see the code where you initialise the logger, and where you do the actual logging. Storing a local reference to the logger is fine, and the recommended practice. If you make it static, even better, I am not sure why you would want the GC to collect it. Problem 2: I have seen this message myself and might be due to some code logging at the same time as the new properties are being applied. If the configuration effectively changes an appenders configuration, log4j must stop/close the old appender before creating a new instance with the new config.

Problem 1: private Log log = MySystem.getLog(getClass().getName()); I'm not talking about gc the logger, I'm talking about a case where if I have an object that has a static logger reference, and this object is not used anymore, will this object get gced? I don't think so...if it won't, I don't think it's a good practice to keep a static reference. When you have: private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(TheClass.class); The LOG instance is kept with the _class_ and not with the instance of the class, and hence will have no bearing on the GC'ing of the instance(s). Each instance does not hold onto refs of static vars, but has access to them when needed via it's Class instance. I'm still not clear about this one. I saw in one of the archive messages that changing the appenders is not supported, is this true? I tweak the appenders of our App through a property file all the time, and it dynamically closes, creates a new appender and configures it without a server restart. I do this a lot.

Problem 2: You mentioned that you get those messages as well sometimes, do you know why? It is possible that there might be some synchronization problem at the point of the call to a specific appender's close() method, and during the close, some logs try and come through to be appended.

[Chainsaw]: Ant-based installer
Hi all,
We are getting closer and closer to releasing log4j 1.3 (and yes, we
will get there). In the mean time if anyone is slightly curious about
the new Chainsaw v2 that will be a part of this release, I have written
an Ant-based 'installer' that takes a lot of the effort required to get
everything that is needed for it. (see the attached file)
Chainsaw v2 is stable and very useful right now, with a number of people
using it everyday for production use (monitoring sites using log4j
1.2.7+). We are just adding more features to make it more enterprise
ready.
To run this installer, you need installed:
* Ant
* CVS
This script just checks out the latest jakarta-log4j cvs module to your
local machine, downloads some other required bits and pieces, and sets
up some configs.
You can run the installer by saving the attached xml file to a directory
where you would like Chainsaw installed, and typing:
ant -f install-chainsaw.xml
and follow the prompts. After the installation, you can cd into the
jakarta-log4j directory and 'ant chainsaw' to run Chainsaw v2.
This script can be run at any time to update what has been downloaded so
you can toy with the latest version whenever you wish.
Feel free to ask questions on this list if you have any problems or
thoughts.
cheers,
Paul Smith

RE: [Chainsaw]: Ant-based installer
One initial comment tho, is there a way to list the full ignore list in a table or something. I'm playing with our app and ignoring some loggers, now want to see which ones I'm ignoring. I know that they are italliced in the tree, but our tree is large, and I've only ignored a few.. Is there a quick way to see what is ignored. Maybe a popup dialog or inline panel under the logger tree that could be shown/hidden, with a list of loggers (full dotted package name) on the ignore list, which you can uncheck? Glad to hear that the installer worked a treat. cheers, Paul Smith - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [Chainsaw]: Ant-based installer
One other options might be to just hide/show items that are ignored in the tree, then with an expand all option, you don't even need a new ui. Right now you can ignore a specific logger, but that doesn't imply that it should ignore all it's children as well, so if we hide a logger node in the tree, it removes the ability to manage the children (all the children nodes won't be visible). Creating a new panel would be easy anyway. Then I'm sure at a later date the idea of showing/hiding loggers based on some sort of constraint could be re-used. Do you have a certain style of constraint in mind here? Be good to have all this in the back of my mind as I'm developing. cheers, Paul Smith - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [Chainsaw]: Ant-based installer
I noticed that behaviour, is there a reason. It's a bit annoying to have to turn off each sub-logger. When configuring loggers, if you set a logger to FATAL, then all sub-loggers are converted to FATAL, right?? Shouldn't chainsaw replicate this idea. Most times nodes in a logger tree are packages, while the leaves are actual classes. It would be nice to ignore an entire package, like utils or something. I can see both cases, but wondered why you went with explicit logger ignoring.. Had thought of this, but imagine you had wanted to ignore a top level package, but not the children It needs some more work to handle both cases. Be nice to have a Ignore + all children, and the reverse... We'll get there. cheers, Paul - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: I am not getting stack trace from logger.error(error,e)?
Depends how you log your stacktrace. If you log like this:
private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(.);
...
try {
}
catch(Exception e) {
LOG.error(e);
}
Then you WILL only get the error message without the rest of the stack
trace. The reason is that the exception is going to the
loggers.error(Object) method, and Log4j is simply calling the
.toString() on the Exception object.
This is a common mistake, and I've forgotten this several times myself.
What you really need to do is:
LOG.error(An error happened here, e);
This will ensure that the full stacktrace is output (assuming that the
JDK 1.4.2 doesn't still get you)

Paul Smith

Is it possible to get an historic point of view on Chainsaw. For example Why did you guys decide to work on chainsaw as opposed to logFactor ? Thank you for your answer For me personally, I found the original Chainsaw on SourceForge, and then found it had become part of the log4j package, so I guess I had become accustomed to Chainsaw, and had some affinity for it. LogFactor5 is great, there's no doubt about it. Since the Receiver framework was added to log4j, we've been able to leverage a lot of log4j core code. If you look at the code for Chainsaw v2 and compare it with the original, there is not a lot left of the original apart from some of the basic principles, and one might say in hindsight it might have been quicker to start from scratch, but that wouldn't be as fun. In some ways it has been like a house renovation. It has had some walls knocked out, floors sanded laquered, painted, a new kitchen, a brand new deck out the front, and had some new furniture put in. Still feels like the old place, only newer. cheers, Paul - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Can we control the logging level to class level instead of package level?
you'll need to switch additivity off for the logger you want disabled, otherwise the LoggingEvent gets passed up the logger hierarchy to the root logger The short manual has info on this: http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html (see the bit on additivity) But when you get Ceki's book, that'll help even more.

At this stage there is no way to do it via the GUI, but we do have plans to add this feature before release. Internally this is how it is accomplished, but we decided to initially have a few likely options as simple choices. there will definately be a custom option.

RE: additivity trouble
You have attached the console appender to the logger you wish to ignore, in this line: log4j.category.fr.MyClass=INFO, console This means that any INFO message for that logger will go to the console appender, which really means that this entry is redundant. What I think you want is to modify this line: log4j.category.fr.MyClass=INFO, console to either: log4j.category.fr.MyClass=OFF or: log4j.category.fr.MyClass=INFO The former is more efficient since logs will be ignored at an earlier stage, while the latter means that INFO and above are 'accepted', but since there is no logger attached (and additivity is off) they do not end up anywhere.

Re: AW: DailyRollingFileAppender with filesize option
Hi Carsten, It is my understanding, and I may be wrong here, that Ceki has completely rewritten the whole rolling appender framework to allow much more flexibility in the composition of different rules for rolling. This unfortunately not in the released version at this time, but the 1.3 release is not that far away. We appreciate your contribution, perhaps you could attach the files to a bug item (if you haven't done so already), so that your efforts don't get lost if my understanding is not correct. cheers, Paul Smith On Mon, 2003-12-01 at 20:57, Bansemir, Carsten wrote: Hi, some time ago i wrote the following to the log4j-dev mailing list: Hi, I had several problems with the DailyRollingFileAppender (see user mailing list), so I downloaded the DailyRollingAppenderExt.jar but I can't find the source of this file again (so I also can't find out the author of this Class). I extended this class so that the Appender rolls by date AND by size, like the CompositeRollingFileAppender does, with the difference that it logs to a different file every day, without having to rename any files (that was the problem with threads logging to yesterday's dir because the Java method renameTo() fails in the RollingFileAppender or the CompositeRollingFileAppender.

It should have created 3 jar files, one with chainsaw in it's name. Ant may be ignoring chainsaw's build phase because you are missing some dependant jars. Have you edited the build.properties.sample? (I've found that you have to make sure there is not BOTH a build.properties.sample and a build.properties, the build picks up the former first.) Otherwise cut/paste the output of the full build to the list so we can see what is going on. cheers, and thanks for taking the time to have a look at chainsaw v2.

I was also thinking that you might consider putting a Log message
immediately following the BasicConfigurator.configure() call. If you
receive this message to the console, then something else is re-initing
Log4j.
BTW, 2 things about your code:
* The BasicConfigurator will automatically add and configure a Console
appender, should be no need to add one yourself.
* Appenders have an activateOptions() method that should be called after
all setters properties have been set, if you create an appender
manually.

One solution to the above problem is to use an MemoryAppender for DEBUG level and capture the data required for troubleshooting for each request in a Collection that stores this info for, say last 50 requests, and dumps this to another appender on a predefined event.

Check out the JavaDocs for the setEvaluatorClass(String) method on SMTPAppender, and see the JavaDocs for the TriggeringEventEvaluator interface.

How do you configure log directory. I would prefer setting it independent of

Can I define it in log4j.properties, or by modifying properties runtime ?

Hi Henrik,
We have this line at the top of our log4j.properties file:
webappRoot=/var/tomcat4/webapps/
then in our appender config:
log4j.appender.taipanAppender.file=${webappRoot}Taipan/logs/taipan-log4j.log
This allows a little more flexibility in defining a base directory etc.
For windows, you will probably need something like:
webappRoot=c:\\toolkit\\tomcat4.0\\webapps\\
Mainly because of \ need to be escaped.
Hope this helps you.

Re: Chaining
This is where the NDC would be useful. In Class 2: NDC.push(Class 2); In Class 1: NDC.push(Class 1); Then when you are ready to log a message: log.debug(Message); The NDC entries will be available via the LoggingEvent that is send to the appender, so if you configure an appender to actually output the contents of the NDC, you'll be able to see it. (see things like PatternLayout on how to explicitly request NDC to be output in the appender). NDC acts as a Stack for each Thread of execution, so it retains the order of push/pop. Don't forget to NDC.pop() at the end of each method where you NDC.push(...).. cheers, Paul Smith On Thu, 2003-10-02 at 01:10, David Liles wrote: I just started using log4j and am having trouble trying to figure out how to chain logging messages class 1 makes a call to class 2 I would like to be able to pass the message from class 2 to class 1 where it would ultimately be logged, that way when I review the log file it would show that the message originated in class 2, but would be displayed something like this: class2 - class1 - message.

Re: SMTPAppender and BufferSize.

Greetings:
I have what I hope to be a simple question.
We are using the log4j implementation in JBoss 3.0.4.
When I activate the SMTP Appender for ERROR level to send me an email
for any exceptions and stack traces,
I was under the impression that I could buffer events and have the
email contain more than one log entry in the email body.
I get an email for every single log entry. Am I way off base?
There are 2 important properties for SMTPAppender, the EvaluatorClass,
and the Threshold. You have set the Threshold to Error, and the
appender is using the default EvaluatorClass which matches ERROR.
Basically it's the EvaluatorClass property that determines WHEN to send
the email, and uses the Buffer of events received since the last
Triggering event. Since you have the threshold set to ERROR, the
appender is only letting that 1 event get in the Buffer.
Try setting the Threshold to INFO, and you should find the email you
receive should contain the last X INFO-and-above events plus the ERROR
event that triggered it.
I have simply started using the commented config in the log4j.xml supplied
by Jboss.
appender name=SMTP class=org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender
param name=Threshold value=ERROR/
param name=To value=[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
param name=From value=[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
param name=Subject value=JBoss Sever Exception/
param name=SMTPHost value=xxx.xxx.x.xx/
param name=BufferSize value=10/
layout class=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
param name=ConversionPattern value=[%d{ABSOLUTE},%c{1}] %m%n/
/layout
/appender
If the Error message itself contains everything you need to know, then
this is fine, but at any rate I think the BufferSize is misleading
here. Perhaps an issue to address with the JBoss team?

On Thu, 2003-09-25 at 01:03, Larry Young wrote: Paul, Actually, based on our conversation back in August, it works out better if you put the trace at the front of the class name, that way you still can specify package names and get everything underneath it, and you can also turn on tracing without a package or class name.

Re: Plans for supporting a build in level of trace
IMHO, the simplicity of Debug/info/warn/error/fatal is one of Log4j's strengths. I personally would not want Trace However, if I required Trace-style logging, I would simply log to a dotted logger name ---.trace. E.g If I have a component com.mycompany.mycomponent, I have a complimentary com.mycomany.mycomponent.trace logger, and configure Log4j to suppress this logger under normal circumstances. The other advantage to this approach is that you can get all Trace style logs into their own appender very easily (attach the appropriate appender to each .trace logger in the config), which means my trace logs are separated easily from the other debug, which I think is what a lot of people are worried about. I can't see anyone wanting to wade through Trace AND Debug log messages to find things out, but maybe I can't see the use case that other people have. Having said all this, as a Log4j developer I wonder since we've previously made a lot of effort to match JDK 1.4's syntax (e.g. Category-Logger, Priority-Level), one might argue that it's not too much effort to go that extra mile to just add the Trace level for those that way inclined. Perhaps those log4j dev-people who were involved in the Log4j-JDK1.4 matching development might be able to comment on any rationale etc. But for me, I'm very happy with the current Trace-less log4j.

Re: Elementary question
Could you not place the configuration file in the root of the /WEB-INF/classes/ ? Log4j will automatically find log4j.xml or log4j.properties if it is located there.

RE: LevelRangeFilter not working
Ok, if that is the case, then you definately want a LevelRangeFilter,
and you want to set the MinLevel to ERROR, and the MaxLevel to FATAL (or
don't have a Max).
Here is the source code the relevant method inside LevelRangeFilter, you
can see how it works:
public
int decide(LoggingEvent event) {
if(this.levelMin != null) {
if (event.getLevel().isGreaterOrEqual(levelMin) == false) {
// level of event is less than minimum
return Filter.DENY;
}
}
if(this.levelMax != null) {
if (event.getLevel().toInt() levelMax.toInt()) {
// level of event is greater than maximum
// Alas, there is no Level.isGreater method. and using
// a combo of isGreaterOrEqual !Equal seems worse than
// checking the int values of the level objects..
return Filter.DENY;
}
}
if (acceptOnMatch) {
// this filter set up to bypass later filters and always return
// accept if level in range
return Filter.ACCEPT;
}
else {
// event is ok for this filter; allow later filters to have a
look..
return Filter.NEUTRAL;
}
}

a complete duplicate (apart from the pattern). Is there any need? Is
the appender specified in the configuration file ok to use?
What I would recommend is:
a) remove the Java code dealing with configuring appenders, I just can't
see a good reason for it there (hard coding appenders is a maintainence
nightmare). Leave it to the configuration file.
b) the code logger = Logger.getLogger(com.sap.EventThread), make sure
this is only called once! Best practice is to make the logger variable
a private static final. the Logger.getLogger call is not exactly cheap,
just get a reference as early as possible, and use it everywhere in your
class. It's thread-safe, don't worry.
c) You define the appenders in the configuration file, and you identify
which Loggers the appenders get attached to. You will notice your
config file:
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, d1
This attaches the named appender 'd1' to the Root logger. I'd recommend
removing this so it is just:
log4j.rootLogger=INFO
Now attach your d1 logger to your com.sap.EventThread logger like so:
log4j.logger.com.sap.EventThread=INFO,d1
This should work a treat. Let me know how you go.

Don't forget Ceki's book, https://www.qos.ch/shop/products/clm_t.jsp you'll be kicking goals in no time with this.

RE: duplicate logging?
On Thu, 2003-08-28 at 06:32, Rishikesh Tembe wrote: Is this how its done? log4j.rootLogger.additivity=false Close, but no cigar. The Log Event starts getting logged at it's own Logger (say, the com.mycompony.mycomponent Logger, and gets logged up the hierarchy until it reaches the root Logger, so you need to set the addidivity at the Logger point where you wish to stop going up. So if you want the LogEvent to start and stop at it's own logger: log4j.additivity.com.mycompany.mycomponent=false (note that additivity is first) If you wish all com.mycompany and their children Log events to stop logging there log4j.additivity.com.mycompany=false Once it's reached the rootLogger, it can't go any higher, so your setting has no effect. The short manual has a good discussion on it: http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html (see the section on Appender additivity). cheers, Paul Smith - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No, you haven't missed anything, it would set the types system wide, and allow you to specify the level system wide, but if that was not granular enough, can't you specific a particular Filter for your appender? (i.e all classes logging to the DB logger, but you filter for a particular class). I'm sure you could write yourself a Filter sub-class very quickly and attach it to an Appender via the configuration. You could configure this Filter impl with some configuration as to what classes you want to see output.

Re: discreet log types
Yes, actually I had already gone down that road as one of my first solutions before I posted my original message. However, when I considered that option, I was appending the logging type, which was a problem when trying to specify packages instead of individual classes. But your suggestion to put it at the beginning could solve that problem. As I was writing my last message I also started with it at the end, and realised the same thing you have. I think it has more power at the front. Log4j does not have a complete taxonomy, it is strictly hierarchical, so you will ALWAYS have to choose a primary node structure at the top (this is usually the package name hierarchy). It sounds like your aspect (DB, TRACE) etc is your primary concern, with a secondary concern of the source class. I'm not so worried about it being clumsy because I can always hide it with a wrapper around the front-end if necessary (i.e. create a static factory-like method). And I would only have to define loggers for the logging types that my class would be using, not necessarily every one that is defined, especially since the list needs to be extensible. And it would also allow me to enable multiple logging types for a single class/package. I'll have to give this one some more thought! It's not the cleanest of solutions, but if no one else on the list thinks this would be a good feature to have, then perhaps this would be the quickest solution for my situation. Thanks again for your ideas! Feel free to discuss your ideas further on the list as you develop them, I'm sure other people will be interested in how you go (definately me). May even be worth a nice Wiki page outlining your ideas, and how you accomplished them. I'm sure other people would appreciate it if you have the time.

Re: discreet log types
Hi Larry, This is where you would probably delve into the MDC/NDC/Properties usage. At each 'type' point/location in code I would add a MDC/NDC/Property (whatever works best) at the point, and remove it afterwards where appropriate. The log events generated between these places would then have a Level, belong to a Logger (you're class/interface/logger name), and have additional information for your 'type'. Then it is just a matter of configuring Filters at the appender level to filter out events that you're not interested in for that appender. You might have to develop some custom Filter classes to meet your needs, or re-use/build on the Filter classes that are in Log4j, but that's the approach I would use. Configuration reloading is free out of the box, just register a File Watchdog (see the PropertyConfigurator.configureAndWatch(file, watchTime) method, plus the DOMConfigurator obviously has this too). I hope this helps you. cheers, Paul Smith On Thu, 2003-07-31 at 09:25, Larry Young wrote: Hello, I'm looking at creating a logging package for our applications (web non-web). The reason for yet-another-logger is that I want discreet logging types, not hierarchical levels. I've built this kind of a package before for previous projects, and ended up building the whole thing because I didn't think log4j could do what I wanted (that was several years ago). Now I'm building another one, and looking at the current version of log4j, and having read much of Ceki's book (which I highly recommend!), I'm thinking that there's got to be a way of re-configuring (bending?) log4j to do what I need. I don't think it's that far off. Basically, I want to be able to enable/disable logging for a particular class or package by type, and each type is totally independent of every other type. Some examples of types might be: Fatal, Error, Timing, CodeBlock, ControlPoint, DBAccess, Info, etc. There is no implicit ordering between these various types, so levels are inappropriate. What I want to be able to do is to turn on/off each type independently, so that I can turn on Timing without having to also turn on Info, or be able to turn on CodeBlock without turning on Error. I also want the users of my package to be able to define additional types and register them with the logger at runtime (via code or xml ???). Oh yeah, I also need to have the logger reload the config file (or some portion of it) on a regular basis so that we can change the enabled types without bouncing the app-server or restarting the application. I was thinking if I tried to tie all my types to a single level, and did something with the log-level filtering to enable/disable by package or class, that would get me close. I'm not sure how I'd tie in the type. I'd probably have to programatically update the log-level filters with updates to handle config changes at runtime.

RE: DailyRollingFileAppender - why isn't rollOver protected
Thanks. I already told Ceki my opinion about log4j (I think it is really great and I love it). I would gladly check the file in jakarta-log4j and tell you if it solves my problem or any other feedback I have. However, I have to admit that I don't know how to find it. I never browsed the CVS before, the best I could find is: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-log4j/src/java/org/a pache/log4j/Da ilyRollingFileAppender.java but this claimed to be version 1.24 and suffer from all the problems I have in version 1.28. can you help me finding the right file. Hello Avner, Firstly apologise for the lengthy days delay in responding, I have been off work due to the dreaded flu that is hitting everyone here in Australia. Your question gave me an opportunity to explore more Ceki's new rollover area so that I can respond with at least some facts. From what I can tell by browsing the code, the relevant packages in the jakarta-log4j are org.apache.log4j.rolling and it's 'helper' sub-package. http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-log4j/src/java/org/apache/log4j/ro lling/ Inside this main package is a brand new RollingFileAppender class, which you can use, and configure it with an implementation of a TriggeringPolicy, and a RollingPolicy. (This is the classic strategy pattern to allow you to plugin different ways of doing things). There will now be no need to sub-class the RollingAppender class, but just provide the RollingAppender with a custom TriggerPolicy or RollingPolicy as is required in your circumstances. A TriggeringPolicy is the 'when' of how the appender should roll, and the RollingPolicy is the 'how' the rolling actually occurs. You will notice that the rolling package has a TimeBasedRollingPolicy, and a SizedBasedTriggerPolicy class, these implement the classic configs of yester-year by Rolling based on time or by size. In your case you could probably choose to wrap one of these existing policies in your own class, first checking if anyone is reading the file, and if it meets at least those requirements, forwarding on the call to the wrapped Policy to do the work. Wrapping is usually my preferred way of doing things, but you may just prefer to sub-class, either works fine. I hope this helps you. regards, Paul Smith - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If one want more details, then here they come: At first I wanted to do that by inheriting DailyRollingFileAppender and overriding subAppend. Then I noticed that it won't work (because subAppend schedules the time for next rollOver, even if current rollOver failed - so it won't happend on next time a record is appended). Then I wanted to override rollOver to raise a flag that will be inspected on next subAppend, to see if a rollOver is needed. Unfortunately, this is not possible, because rollOver is not protected. What I did to solve my problem is a little bit ugly. I copied DailyRollingFileAppender to my package without changes, changed its packagename accordingly, then I could extend it from a file in my package and called rollOver. this worked fine, but I think it is better if one could change rollOver or subAppend in DRFA, so it will be easier to extend the file. thanks, Avner - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: is there anything in log4j that can enable me to do this.....?
Thanks for ur advice Yoav, pluggable Receivers for logging events... whats this??? Hi Michael, Receivers are the sibling of Appenders. Appenders take an event from Log4j and take them outside the log4j environment (to a file, socket, JMS topic, SMTP etc). Receivers take an external event (say, from a Socket) and push or 'post' them into their local Log4j environment. Receivers are great for getting hold of Log4j events from a remote location. Chainsaw uses them extensively. If Chainsaw wasn't enough to help you monitor events from a remote location, you could always mimic something by writing it yourself. Write a program that configures Log4j to use a Receiver to suck external events into the programs local log4j environment, then configure appenders in that same local log4j environment configured to catch the events you're interested in and react accordingly.

[Unfortunately logj-user list has a 100k limit, so i've had to turn the screen shot into a link on the Wiki] In a reasonably desperate attempt to gather feedback from the Log4j community, I am providing a link to a screenshot of the current build of Chainsaw v2 in action that can be accessed from the jakarta-log4j-sandbox. http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?Log4JProjectPages/Log4jv13Featu res [scroll down to the bottom, there is a link to click on to view the image (the above is a shorter URL)] You will see a number of the new visual changes that have been made in the new version (but by no means all of them!). I'm hoping that this screenshot may encourage anyone that has used the (excellent) original Chainsaw, and anyone who has never heard of Chainsaw, to try this new version out and assist us in quality control. Scott Deboy (the developer who kicked this new version off) and I use this version every single day in our own work environments so it's very stable. I will go out of my way to make it as easy on anyone as possible, feel free to email questions, problems etc. I can help anyone walk through getting the module checked out of CVS, and the configuration files setup for your needs. regards, Paul Smith [Thanks to Olivier Vierlinck for the great idea of putting the link to the image from the Wiki] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Chainsaw V2 - Screenshot
HI Dave, Sure! In the jakarta-log4j-sandbox/src/config there is a number of xml files that show some examples. I think out of the box if you run the ant -f chainsaw-build.xml it will automatically use the log4j-sample.xml file (this is all configured in the build.chainsaw.properties file). What I'm working on right now is support for detecting that no Receivers have been configured and prompt the user if they wish some receivers to be configured with defaults (like a SocketReceiver on port 4445). If you have an log4j log file that has been formatted with the XMLLayout, you could try just opening that file! I'll be working on more documentation as well over the next week. Comments appreciated!

RE: Chainsaw Question
Hi everybody, Hi Egan, The initial suggestion was to put a session id or an ip address with each debug statement and separate them using grep. A later proposal was to use something like chainsaw to generate a separate logfile for each user. (Is this possible with chainsaw???) As one of the developers working on Chainsaw v2, I can say that Chainsaw's probably not the best way to go with this. It's great for viewing log entries as they happen (particularly from multiple remote sources simultaneously), or browsing a log xml file, but I can't really think of how Chainsaw will help you here. I'd go with the standard log4j approach, with filters by NDC, or even filter by properties. cheers, Paul Smith - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: ASYNC Appender not printing line or class information
*Threshold - no idea what this does Just like you can set the threshold for the hierarchy, and loggers/categories to restrict events going any further down if it is not that level or Higher, you can do the same thing for any appender (that extend from AppenderSkeleton). This is VERY handy for attaching separate appenders to the same logger. You have INFO level logs for a Logger going to a file, but ERROR only going via SMTP to someone. Ceki's book is excellent, I think everyone should have it in their toolbelt. cheers, Paul Smith - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
