Re: Chainsaw log-parsing classes

2018-01-20 Thread Scott Deboy

Yeah - good idea.

Here's the code Chainsaw uses to grab a log4j XML config's
FileAppender definition, including the PatternLayout, and build what's
needed to process the log messages going in to the target file.

BTW this is also how the log4j2 Advertiser integrates with Chainsaw.

  Map entries =
LogFilePatternLayoutBuilder.getAppenderConfiguration(log4jConfigFile);
  for (Iterator iter =
entries.entrySet().iterator();iter.hasNext();) {
try {
  Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry)iter.next();
  String name = (String) entry.getKey();
  Map values = (Map) entry.getValue();
  //values: conversion, file
  String conversionPattern =
values.get("conversion").toString();
  File file = new File(values.get("file").toString());
  URL fileURL = file.toURI().toURL();
  String timestampFormat =
LogFilePatternLayoutBuilder.getTimeStampFormat(conversionPattern);
  String receiverPattern =
LogFilePatternLayoutBuilder.getLogFormatFromPatternLayout(conversionPattern);
  VFSLogFilePatternReceiver fileReceiver = new
VFSLogFilePatternReceiver();
  fileReceiver.setName(name);
  fileReceiver.setAutoReconnect(true);
  fileReceiver.setContainer(LogUI.this);
  fileReceiver.setAppendNonMatches(true);
  fileReceiver.setFileURL(fileURL.toURI().toString());
  fileReceiver.setTailing(true);
  fileReceiver.setLogFormat(receiverPattern);
  fileReceiver.setTimestampFormat(timestampFormat);
  fileReceiver.setThreshold(Level.TRACE);
  pluginRegistry.addPlugin(fileReceiver);
  fileReceiver.activateOptions();

Re: Stack Overflow Question

2017-09-03 Thread Scott Deboy

I commented in SO.  It worked with very minor changes to your test &
config, but you do have to use the latest version available in git.
It's not the version you can download from the website - that's very
old and doesn't include the log4j2 support yet.

Re: Chainsaw Zeroconf FileAppender Error

2017-04-21 Thread Scott Deboy

Here you go.

Change the fileURL to apply to your setup, and the name field if you'd
like and save it as something like chainsaw-log-config.xml.

Open Chainsaw, select File, Load chainsaw configuration menu.

Choose the 'Use a Chainsaw config file' option, and browse to your
chainsaw-log-config.xml file.  You can also check the 'Always start
Chainsaw with this configuration' checkbox if you'd like to not go
through this prompt again.

You can also start Chainsaw with a specific config - just pass the
path to the config as an arg to Chainsaw's binary.  Something like:

JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx16384M" $HOME/bin/chainsaw
file:/home/scott/chainsaw-log-config.xml

Reduce -Xmx if your machine has less memory.

You're using Chainsaw and logging on the same machine?

What OS?

You could just set up a VFSLogFilePatternReceiver config - it'd tail
whatever's available.

Re: Chainsaw Zeroconf FileAppender Error

2017-04-18 Thread Scott Deboy

I used jmdns 3.4.2 with the latest log4j2 and a sample app that used
the following appender configuration to log to a local file.  Chainsaw
was able to discover the advertisement and live tail the log file.

It looks like the latest JmDNS has changed their API, so log4j2 works
with jmdns 3.4.1, not their latest, right now.

Example appender config:

%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - 
%m%n

In Chainsaw's 'connect to' menu, I had a 'File1 option'.  I clicked on
it, and a new tab opened with the contents of the file - it's
live-tailing the log file.

On the appender config, advertiseURI could be an ssh endpoint, using
Apache Commons VFS 'sftp' support, instead of a 'file://' URI.  For
example, if you can ssh from your env running Chainsaw to the app
performing the logging, you could use an advertiseURI of something
like:

sftp://username:password@hostname/Users/admin/log4j2-output.log

2017-04-09 Thread Scott Deboy

No, not at all  the two devs who worked on it moved on with their lives:)

I still work on it occasionally.

It has a ton of features, I'm not sure Kibana has many of them.

I use it and it works well for logs under 1M records, assuming you can
give the JVM enough memory.

Re: chainsaw - socket hander - jdk util logging

2016-05-16 Thread Scott Deboy

Chainsaw config files are regular log4j config files.

Plugins are receivers, but you can just add any log4j appender to that same
chainsaw config and it will send the received events to the appender, like
a rollingfileappender.

Re: chainsaw - socket hander - jdk util logging

2016-05-16 Thread Scott Deboy

I just tried it myself with the latest developer snapshot and it worked fine.

This code was used on the 'transmit' side:

SocketHandler socketHandler = new SocketHandler("localhost", );
logger.addHandler(socketHandler);
socketHandler.setLevel(Level.ALL);
logger.setLevel(Level.ALL);

This config file was my entire Chainsaw config (started on same
machine of course):


http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/;
debug="true">
   
  
  
   
   
  
   


The levels fine/finer/finest showed up fine, and the message and
timestamp displayed, even throwable showed up fine.

Events should route to their own tab, see the 'application-wide
preferences', general, tab name/event routing expression field.  By
default the 'hostname' and 'application' fields are used to route
events to unique tabs.  Application isn't set, but hostname should be
'localhost', so events should go to a 'localhost' tab.

You can right-click in a table and go to tab preferences and select
displayed columns.

The tutorial is most of the documentation we have (available from the
help menu), but the 'tab routing' expression is based on fields found
in the log event itself, which is why 'hostname' is set to localhost
for the socket handler events.  You could change that expression to
'level' to get individual tabs for info/debug/warn level messages,
etc.

I hope that helps,

Scott

Re: chainsaw - socket hander - jdk util logging

2016-05-16 Thread Scott Deboy

With the latest developer snapshot from http://people.apache.org/~sdeboy

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:

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.

Re: Zero conf is not showing logs even it's connected

2016-03-04 Thread Scott Deboy

Are you running Chainsaw on the same machine as the app using this
log4j2 appender config?

Chainsaw will try to load the advertiseURL directly:
file:///C://users/bilguuna/logs/webapp.log

If Chainsaw is on a separate machine, multicast packets need to be
able to flow between your environment using this log4j2 appender and
Chainsaw, and then the advertiseURL needs to also be accessible from
Chainsaw.

If you are running this log4j2 appender config on a Linux box and
multicast is available across your network, you would need to use a
Commons-VFS supported URI in your advertiseURL in order to have
Chainsaw tail the logs.

Something like this for an advertiseURL:

advertiseURI="sftp://myuser:mypass@hostname/path/to/logfile;

Re: How to get Log4j2, Tomcat and Chainsaw work together?

2014-07-23 Thread Scott Deboy

Regarding Chainsaw, it currently doesn't support the XML format
generated by Log4j2, but does support pattern layout based log
formats.  Chainsaw supports most regular text log formats, and has
special support for Log4j's pattern layout.

I'd suggest either configuring Chainsaw manually, or use the
advertiser mechanism described here:
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html#ChainsawSupport

The log4j2 advertiser mechanism works with patternlayout-formatted log
files and requires  the jmdns jar to be on the classpath.

To configure Chainsaw manually to tail a log file generated with a
pattern layout, choose the 'process a log file' option from Chainsaw's
'load Chainsaw configuration' menu option.  If the log file is on the
local file system, browse to it via the 'open file' button.

Next, set the 'log file format type' to PaternLayout format and
provide the pattern layout format used by your appender, then specify
the timestamp format used in your pattern layout.

You can save this configuration in this dialog as an xml file for
later use, and you can tell Chainsaw to always use this configuration
when starting.

Hope that helps.  Feel free to send questions to the list.

Scott

 Hello,

 I have tried to get the XMLLayout to work with Log4j2 assuming it is the
 best format for Chainsaw. What is preferred way to do this?

 In any case current log4j2.xml placed in one of the Webapps
 WEB-INF\classes

  AppenderRef ref=XmlFile/
/AsyncRoot
  /Loggers
 /Configuration

 Configuration is read properly. Where I have been struggling is which
 jars
 and which versions to include. I have tried various versions and seem to
 have always either class not found or implementation missing.

 Jars and versions:
 - log4j-api-2.0.jar, log4j-core-2.0.jar, log4j-web-2.0.jar,
 log4j-1.2-api-2.0.jar

 jackson-datatype-json-org-2.4.1.jar,
 jackson-module-jaxb-annotations-2.4.1.jar
 - stax2-api-3.1.4.jar

 I have tried with less jars and various version combinations without
 success. Best I have had is log gets written, but only actual text to be
 logged not with full XML events. Non XML-layout worked fine.

 Code snippets in webapp servlet:
 // Log4J 2.x
 import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
 import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;
 import org.apache.logging.log4j.EventLogger;

 private Logger log = null;

 this.log = LogManager.getLogger(EventReceiverServlet.class.getName());

 log.info(Logger initiated);
 log.debug(åäöÅÄÖ);
 log.debug(Добро пожаловать.);

 Latest exception:

Re: Log4j2 - JConsole JMX appender

2013-10-30 Thread Scott Deboy

Mi Mahesh,

If you'd like to use Chainsaw with log4j2, you need to use the latest
Chainsaw developer snapshot, available here:
http://people.apache.org/~sdeboy

If you use a file appender in your log4j configuration, add the JmDns
jar to your application classpath (http://jmdns.sourceforge.net), and
update your log4j configuration as described in the documentation
(including specifying a URI to your log file), Chainsaw should be able
to parse and tail your log file.

Feel free to ask additional questions here on the user list.

Scott

 Hi Mahesh,

 Thank you for re-posting your question to the user mailing list.

 The Status Logger is a special logger used by log4j internally.
 If you set it to debug or trace (by starting your config xml file
 with Configuration
 status=debug...),
 it will output things like which appenders and loggers were initialized,
 which log4j plugins were found, etc.
 Any configuration problems will show up in the status log.
 The status log output will appear on the console (System.out).

 In JConsole, this internal logging is what you see in the StatusLogger
 tab.

 I'm guessing from your question that you would like to see the log
 statements produced by your application in the JConsole viewer.
 Unfortunately, JMX currently does not provide a way to show the content
 of
 application log files.

 If you are looking for a tool that allows you to view the log file from a
 remote machine you may want to take a look at Chainsaw.
 http://logging.apache.org/chainsaw/

 Scott Deboy has been doing work to make Chainsaw's zeroconf feature work
 well with log4j2.
 I am not that familiar with Chainsaw, but perhaps this documentation can
 get you started:

 http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html#AdvertisingAppenderConfigurations

Re: Log4j2 - JConsole JMX appender

2013-10-30 Thread Scott Deboy

The page makes it clear that async loggers provide a clear
throughput/latency advantage over async appenders...but.

If folks use both async appenders and async loggers, won't that
actually increase latency over just using async loggers? Then use all
of that with random access file appenders..and folks are actually
shooting themselves in the foot.

That's mostly what I'm talking about.

Makes me wonder if we really need two mechanisms - can we get by with
one? or is the problem that you have to define at the logger level,
which is a pain?

Async loggers use the LMAX disruptor to remove lock contention when many

AsyncAppender.
This is all documented I think, but let me know what part of the current
docs should be fixed.

By default the disruptor ringbuffer is configured to be very large will
consume about 30 MB of memory. This bit can be documented better.

I didn't think it mattered whether the underlying appender does file IO or
network IO. Did I miss something?

I think the documentation in this area needs to be enhanced to explain
why you would use async loggers or async appenders, particularly for
file IO.

As for generating log files with dates, yes, you can specify your own
date-related pattern with a RollingFileAppender. See the
documentation on RollingFileAppender and examples here:
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/appenders.html

If you'd like to use Chainsaw with log4j2, you need to use the latest

If you use a file appender in your log4j configuration, add the JmDns

update your log4j configuration as described in the documentation
(including specifying a URI to your log file), Chainsaw should be able

Hi Mahesh,

Thank you for re-posting your question to the user mailing list.

The Status Logger is a special logger used by log4j internally.
If you set it to debug or trace (by starting your config xml
file
with Configuration
status=debug...),
it will output things like which appenders and loggers were
initialized,
which log4j plugins were found, etc.
Any configuration problems will show up in the status log.
The status log output will appear on the console (System.out).

In JConsole, this internal logging is what you see in the
StatusLogger
tab.

I'm guessing from your question that you would like to see the log
statements produced by your application in the JConsole viewer.
Unfortunately, JMX currently does not provide a way to show the
content
of
application log files.

If you are looking for a tool that allows you to view the log file
from
a
remote machine you may want to take a look at Chainsaw.
http://logging.apache.org/chainsaw/

Scott Deboy has been doing work to make Chainsaw's zeroconf feature

Re: Log4j2 - JConsole JMX appender

2013-10-30 Thread Scott Deboy

What might be easiest is to use separate log4j configurations for each
web app, specifying unique names in each web app's log4j configuration
file. See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/logsep.html for
more information.

http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/webapp.html mentions that
the ServletContext's context name is used as the LoggerContext name,
but the LoggerContext name isn't exposed anywhere that I can see as
something you could use in the naming of your rolling file.

You may be able to do this by implementing your own Lookup - see
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/extending.html

Hope that helps.

Re: Chainsaw and Log4j2

2013-10-17 Thread Scott Deboy

Chainsaw has been updated and offered via developer snapshots, but
those updates haven't been released. The latest developer snapshot is
available at http://people.apache.org/~sdeboy

We are working on an updated release of log4j extras, which Chainsaw
needs. Once extras is released, we'll release an updated version of
Chainsaw as soon as possible.

As for log4j2 support, the latest developer snapshot of Chainsaw was
recently updated to leverage the 'advertiser' capability built into
Log4j2.

The advertiser mechanism enables log4j2 to advertise fileappender
configurations via multicast DNS/zeroconf. Chainsaw can discover
these advertised configurations, and you can start tailing the log
file without having to configure Chainsaw at all, just by
double-clicking on the discovered appender entry in Chainsaw's
'Zeroconf' tab.

For more information on how to enable the advertiser mechanism in
log4j2, see
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html#AdvertisingAppenderConfigurations

To use the multicast DNS advertiser, you need to add the jmdns
(http://jmdns.sourceforge.net) jar to your appender-side classpath and
specify a few parameters in your appender configuration. Once your
log file has started generating entries in the log file, you can start
Chainsaw and double-click on the entry that shows up in the Zeroconf
tab in order to remotely tail the log file.

From there, you can save off that Chainsaw 'receiver' configuration,
so you can tail the log file from Chainsaw even when the advertiser
mechanism isn't advertising the appender details.

Feel free to send additional questions to the list.

 To do what you are attempting below you would need to do:

  log4j-api-2.0-beta5.jar and log4j-core-2.0-beta4.jar are the only jars on

  When I run this program, I see the following output:
 
 
  2013-05-17 11:50:54,192 INFO  [main] {} Main.main(14) - This is an INFO
 log
  message.
 
  2013-05-17 11:50:54,194 DEBUG [main] {} Main.main(18) - This is a debug

  The debug message from the X logger is missing.  Shouldn't the X logger
 be
  inheriting the level from the Root Logger since an explicit level has not
  been set?
 
 
  Thanks,

Chainsaw support for java.util.logging file format

2013-05-03 Thread Scott Deboy

For those who may be interested, Chainsaw has been updated to include
support for multi-line log file formats, including the default
java.util.logging file format.

If you want to try it out, the developer snapshot of Chainsaw, in Mac dmg
or zip file format, is available at
http://people.apache.org/~sdeboy

If you want to try out Chainsaw's ability to parse and tail a
java.util.logging-formatted file, follow these steps:

 - start Chainsaw
 - Select the 'File, Load Chainsaw configuration' menu
 - Select 'process a log file'
 - Select the log file you want to parse by pressing the 'Open File' button
and browsing to the file
 - Log file format: TIMESTAMP LOGGER THREAD(LF)LEVEL: MESSAGE
 - Log file timestamp format: MMM dd,  HH:mm:ss a

You may want to check the box at the bottom to tell Chainsaw to always run
with this configuration, or save it off for later use.

Feedback always welcome!

Re: Any tools to convert log messages to log events

2013-02-27 Thread Scott Deboy

I posted this in an earlier reply, but along with the declaration of the
repositoryselector from my previous email, do this:

VFSLogFilePatternReceiver receiver = new VFSLogFilePatternReceiver();
receiver.setAppendNonMatches(true);
receiver.setFileURL(info.getPropertyString(fileURI));
receiver.setLogFormat(LogFilePatternLayoutBuilder.getLogFormatFromPatternLayout(info.getPropertyString(format)));
receiver.setTimestampFormat(LogFilePatternLayoutBuilder.getTimeStampFormat(info.getPropertyString(format)));
receiver.setName(name + -receiver);
receiver.activateOptions();

That should do it..

Yes, it's trying to match the whole line...and the 'appendnonmatches' means
you'll still get a loggingevent, but with the entire line in the 'message'
field with an 'Unknown' logger.

Are you saying LogFilePatternReceiver regexp logic is not matching the
entry when aaa or bbb are empty strings? If so, I'd hope that'd be a bug we
could fix..

I'm not sure on the receiver side how you could use log4j2..it is coded
against log4j 1.2.x...you can use log4j2 on the appender side - this
receiver doesn't care where the log file came from (could be another
logging framework of course).

You're welcome!

 Scott,

 Thanks for pointing, I am now able to parse the log file and generate the
 events.

 I have couple of question for you.

 How do I configure log4j plugin via java code, instead of loading from an
 xml file?
 When the data matches partially with the regex, can the error message
 indicate upto what pattern it matched, and what is missing?
%p %t %l %d aaa=%X{aaa} bbb=%X{bbb}  %m

 If the data is missing aaa, can it report that, or if the datetime is not
 in the order it expected.

 Current program is constructing one big regular expression and doing a
 match, may be it should do is keyword by keyword and report at the first
 failure.

 Another question is How do I use this with log4j2, can I remove log4j1.2.16
 jar and then use log4j binding of 2.0 module?

 Appreciate your help,

Re: Any tools to convert log messages to log events

2013-02-27 Thread Scott Deboy

I'm sorry, there was one more chunk of code to use the repositoryExImpl:

  private static final Object repositorySelectorGuard = new Object();
  private static final LoggerRepositoryExImpl repositoryExImpl = new
LoggerRepositoryExImpl(LogManager.getLoggerRepository());

Then, somewhere prior to initializing the receiver:

LogManager.setRepositorySelector(new RepositorySelector() {

public LoggerRepository getLoggerRepository() {
return repositoryExImpl;
}}, repositorySelectorGuard);

And then, your receiver initialization code should work without issues.

To find out which events have 'aaa' or 'bbb' missing, you could use the
'filterExpression' field of the receiver to only receive events from the
file which don't contain aaa or bbb properties:

receiver.setFilterExpression((! (prop.aaa exists) || (! (prop.bbb
exists)));

Of course, you can do all of this with Chainsaw if you'd like :)

 Scott,

 This code is failing with NullPointerException for the doPost() method.

 I get the NullPointerException even when static initialization of the
 following code is done.
 private static final LoggerRepositoryExImpl repositoryExImpl = new

 I think we have to set LoggerRepositoryExImpl this as the new
 rootRepository(), but I do not know what API to use.   the only other api I
 can use is doConfigure(entity, repository);

 Our application do not have contexts in all the threads some threads add
 context (aaa),  some add  both (aaa  bbb).  I would like to report the
 errors pointing out which context is missing.

 Also, some log files are using the date pattern that ends with a dot.sss
  and some with comma,sss, and these lines are also ending up with no
 match, would like to report the error properly.

 I was interested in log4j2 on the appender side only, so I can try and see
 if it is working ok.

 Scott,

 first of all, I would like to appreciate your time.

 None of the mirrors has this zip file available.  I have tried probably 10
 of them.

 All these mirrors do not have the file.   But archive repository has it, so
 I downloaded it.

Chainsaw does this:

Which I think you also need to do prior to calling activateOptions on the

Re: Any tools to convert log messages to log events

2013-02-23 Thread Scott Deboy

I overstated what appenders are missing:
- fixed-schema and custom schema DB appenders
- reverse-connect socket appender

There were also other appenders that never made it in because at the time
there were folks pushing relatively small contributions through the
incubator (soapappender, an IM/IRCAppender if I recall, etc)..

The non-log4j comments were added to point out that some of the existing
receivers are used by other logging frameworks to pull their events into
Chainsaw (or other tools)

If you instead want the LogEvents so you can do something else with

you can use the (VFS)LogFilePatternReceiver outside of log4j, just
construct it, call appropriate setters, and call activateOptions.
Wherever
the receiver calls doPost, you can instead hold on to the generated

There are quite a few appenders and associated receivers in log4j 1.x.
 Most of these appenders and all of these receivers are missing in log4j2:

MulticastAppender-MulticastReceiver
UDPAppender and non-log4j appenders which support generating events over
UDP which conform to log4j's dtd (log4net, etc)-UDPReceiver
*FileAppender with a regular text layout-(VFS)LogFilePatternReceiver
*FileAppender with an xml layout-LogFileXMLReceiver
non-log4j appenders which support generating events over TCP which conform
to log4j's dtd (log4perl, etc)-XMLSocketReceiver
JMSAppender-JMSReceiver

Re: Log4j Extras ExpressionFilter issue

2012-10-04 Thread Scott Deboy

Hey Jake

I tried this in the latest developer snapshot of Chainsaw..I pulled up a
log in Chainsaw which contained info and debug entries (I didn't have a log
with trace).

And I added your URL value you provided in the 'marker' field of two of my
INFO entries

This expression:

(level = debug) || (level == info  prop.marker == '
https://somedomain/somepath/somepage.do?someparam=somevalamp;anotherparam=anotherval
')

Gave me all of the debug entries and two info level entries..

It could be something weird with trace...or something weird with parsing
the amp; ??? but...this should work..

 Thanks Scott,

 However, while I didn't experience an error in parsing the expression this
 time, the expression seems to be, at least partially, ignored.

 Below is the relevant config, where com.mypackage.MyClass sets MDC (via
 SLF4J) with a url key and the currently processed URL as the value, then
 logs the page content for the URL at the TRACE level (with MDC removal of
 url immediately after logging the page content).  But rather than getting
 TRACE output for only the URL defined in the Expression, I get **all**
 TRACE output.  It's like it sees the LEVEL == TRACE but then ignores the
 .  Thoughts?

Re: Chainsaw update fails horridly

2012-09-05 Thread Scott Deboy

Apologies, we really really have to get a new release out the door.

The quick fix is to delete your $USER_HOME/.chainsaw folder (or if you are
having problems with only a certain tab, files with that tab's name in the
.chainsaw folder).

I would also suggest trying the developer snapshot from
http://people.apache.org/~sdeboy - it includes a ton of new features not
available in the current webstart version (Mac DMG and .zip available).

 It is related to the move of the logging site to a new system (it is

 When I tried it, Chainsaw started and I was happy because I am not a

 Hopefully Scott can look into that issue as he is the Webstart-Guru

  My recommendation, if you need a working version fast, is to use the

Re: Chainsaw update fails horridly

You don't need to build it, run the chainsaw script from the subfolder of the 
target directory in the zip. 

Error logs would be very helpful. A bugzilla issue would be great.

 The quick fix is to delete your $USER_HOME/.chainsaw folder (or if you are
 having problems with only a certain tab, files with that tab's name in the
 .chainsaw folder).
 
 I would also suggest trying the developer snapshot from
 http://people.apache.org/~sdeboy - it includes a ton of new features not

 It is related to the move of the logging site to a new system (it is

Re: Filter log based on package when using getLogger(String)

2012-07-18 Thread Scott Deboy

Correction: expression would use the LOGGER instead of MSG, since you're
filtering on that.

 You can use filters, including the ExpressionFilter, to build pretty much

 Hello folks,

 Most of my loggers are constructed with the Logger.getLogger(String)
 function, so that I can have loggers like Device(#3, Some Description)
 instead of ca.something.package.Device with the goal of being able to
 more easily identify which instances are writing what log lines.

 I've found that when I do this I can't use properties to filter the log
 level, such as
 log4j.logger.ca.something.**package=INFO
 I figure this is because if I use getLogger(Device.class) it gets the
 package of the logger from the class I give it and it all works from there.

 So this all makes sense, but brings up two questions:

 Can I still declare my loggers with a String name (getLogger(String)) and
 somehow still use package-style log level selection in the properties file?

 If not, do you guys have any tips on how to differentiate between
 instances when they're logging?  The obvious solution would be to prepend
 any log message I want to write with a description of the instance, but
 that seems like a lot of extra work.

 I think really what I'm looking for is something like getLogger(Class
 theClass, String theName), but maybe there is an already-implemented way to
 do this.

 Any tips?

 Regards,
 Charles

Re: Configuration Sequence

2012-02-02 Thread Scott Deboy

Order in the file doesn't really matter in either case it seems.

For a properties file, PropertyConfigurator does process entries in a
specific order, but it just finds them in the properties file and builds
the entries - here is the code from PropertyConfigurator:

configureRootCategory(properties, hierarchy);
configureLoggerFactory(properties);
parseCatsAndRenderers(properties, hierarchy);

For an xml file, the elements will be processed as they are defined in the
xml file - the DOMConfigurator code parses whatever is found in that order.

 what is the prioper sequence in configuring log4j.properties

 1.  logger
 2.  additivity
 3.  appenders
 4.  filters

 to reach that all gets parsed but not twice,

 if sequences are not correct, I see errors such as, in case of a rolling

 file locked by another user, or in case of a Chainsaw sockethuappender,
 socket
 address already in use.

 What is the rule of dumb in configuration when tomcat startsup and has

Re: log4j - optional parameter

2012-01-05 Thread Scott Deboy

The feedback usually given is to use a different Logger named 'encryption'
and manage its logging threshold in the configuration file, so you can
control encryption logging separately from the other logger you are using
in this class.

 Hi,
 I need to add an optional parameter say Encryption=true to the

 }

 I guess I have to extend consoleappender and have a getter/setter for
 encryption property.
 Is this a good approach? Or is there any other optimal way of acheiving
 this?

Chainsaw includes those jars in its standalone zip.

The extras companion has been released:
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/companions/extras/download.html

The receivers and component companions have not yet been officially
released, so you would have to build them from source if you didn't use the
jars from the chainsaw zip.

 Subject: Re: log4jEdit the event received

 There are only three unique attributes provided for socket-received
 events:
 hostname
 remoteSourceInfo
 application (if set on appender)

 If you can't leverage application and would like to use additional
 properties to identify instances, there is a mechanism that supports
 that
 (via configuration): RewriteAppender

 RewriteAppender allows you to modify event attributes (or add
 properties)
 before sending the event to the appender.

 A RewriteAppender expects a nested appender (your SocketAppender) and a
 RewritePolicy.

 You can use a PropertyRewritePolicy as a quick way to add custom
 properties
 to each event.

 This requires you to add the receivers companion jar and probably
 component
 companion jar (not sure about extras companion) to your appender side.

 log4j/rewrite/RewriteAppender.html
 http://logging.apache.org/log4j/companions/receivers/apidocs/org/apache/
 log4j/rewrite/RewritePolicy.html

 Example configuration (didn't run this, but it should be correct) that
 will
 add two properties to each event, somepropertyname1 and
 somepropertyname2.

 appender name=rewrite
 class=org.apache.log4j.rewrite.RewriteAppender
appender name=socket class=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender

Re: Chainsaw Events

2011-09-15 Thread Scott Deboy

Chainsaw uses a cyclic buffer by default, which means as new events are
received, old ones are removed from the table.  That cyclic buffer size is
global, but you can toggle between cyclic and non-cyclic and that is a
tab-specific persistnet setting.  Once you hit the cyclic buffer limit, more
CPU will be used to drop old events.

Chainsaw holds all events in memory, so modify the -Xmx and -Xms VM args to
support bigger files if you want cyclic buffering disabled.

Chainsaw can store events received from a file - use the file, load chainsaw
configuration menu option and then either choose to have it read your
log4j.xml/log4j.properties fileappender configuration, or use the 'process a
log file' option to build the LogFilePatternReceiver configuration yourself.

Since log4j 1.2.15, the socket-based appenders have an 'application'
parameter that can be set which will result in an additional  
application
property being set on each event, which will then be used by  
Chainsaw to

route events to the correct tab.

The following example will result in events being routed to a tab  
called

'localhost-app1':

appender name=SOCKET1 class=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender

 param name=RemoteHost value=localhost/
 param name=Application value=app1/
 param name=ReconnectionDelay value=6/

By default, events are routed to tabs by resolving the hostname and
application event properties.  The tab/name event routing expression  
is

configurable via the application-wide preferences dialog.

Re: Chain saw socket appender

2011-09-13 Thread Scott Deboy

Since log4j 1.2.15, the socket-based appenders have an 'application'
parameter that can be set which will result in an additional application
property being set on each event, which will then be used by Chainsaw to
route events to the correct tab.

The following example will result in events being routed to a tab called
'localhost-app1':

appender name=SOCKET1 class=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender
  param name=Port value=12346/
  param name=RemoteHost value=localhost/
  param name=Application value=app1/
  param name=ReconnectionDelay value=6/
  param name=Threshold value=ALL/
/appender

By default, events are routed to tabs by resolving the hostname and
application event properties.  The tab/name event routing expression is
configurable via the application-wide preferences dialog.

Re: Chainsaw v2 - do not convert log timestamps to local time zone.

2011-08-18 Thread Scott Deboy

You can adjust what timezone is used to render timestamps in Chainsaw.

Go to current tab menu, tab preferences (or use the context menu available
in the tab's table), choose the formatting category and provide a value in
the 'timezone of event's field.

 We are using the log4j XML format - is this something which is supported?

No you can't unless you remove the eventset node.

You can process a regular non-XML text log file by configuring
chainsaw with a logfilepatternreceiver. Use MESSAGE as the logformat
to quickly get the log file in chainsaw.

Re: Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage

2011-07-25 Thread Scott Deboy

You can only specify one format, but you can get the non-matching rows to
still be included in the table in Chainsaw by setting AppendNonMatches to
'true' in the configuration file.  The non-matching rows will be added to
the 'unknown' logger, with the entire line set as the message.

 Here you go..

 1. start chainsaw
 2. Choose the file, load chainsaw configuration menu item
 3. When the dialog opens, choose the 'process a log file' option
 4. Click the 'open file' button and choose the local file you'd like to
 process, or manually enter the sftp:// URL you want to use (I'd first try
 with a local file just to make sure it works, but once it is working, you
 can just change this to your sftp URL).
 5. Leave Log file format type as 'LogFilePatternReceiver LogFormat'
 6. Click the down arrow next to the Log file format drop down and choose
 'MESSAGE' (it will put the entire log line in the 'message' field but you
 won't have issues with mismatched log entries, so we will see events come
 in
 to a tab).
 7.don't worry about Log file timestamp format, since you don't have
 TIMESTAMP field defined in your log format
 8. Click 'save configuration as' and browse to where you want to save it
 and
 give it a name (I just entered 'c:\new-logfile-receiver-config.xml' in the
 box)
 9. Click the 'always start chainsaw with this configuration button'
 10. Press ok

 Events should show up in a new tab, the tab name being the name of the log
 file you chose to process.

 If you open the receiver panel you should see a receiver whose name is the
 log file you chose to process.

 Here is the contents of 'new-logfile-receiver-config.xml' after I did this
 (it did create a tab for me, and I have a receiver defined)

 ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
 log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j=http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/;
 debug=true
plugin class=org.apache.log4j.chainsaw.vfs.VFSLogFilePatternReceiver
 name=/C:/andyRILog.txt
param name=appendNonMatches value=true/
param name=autoReconnect value=true/
param name=fileURL value=file:/C:/andyRILog.txt/
param name=logFormat value=MESSAGE/
param name=name value=/C:/andyRILog.txt/
param name=promptForUserInfo value=false/
param name=tailing value=true/
param name=timestampFormat value=-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS/
param name=waitMillis value=2000/
/plugin
 /log4j:configuration

 Again, if you are going to try sftp after this, change promptForUserInfo to
 true and change your fileURL.  You can play with the logFormat and
 timestampFormat once you have it working as well.

 This worked for me out of the box with the developer snapshot you
 downloaded

Re: Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage

2011-07-22 Thread Scott Deboy

Chainsaw can automatically build a Chainsaw config file from fileappender
entries in a log4j appender config file (both log4j.xml and log4j.properties
formats)...

By the way, I assume you can get sftp processing to work fine now as well,
since it looks like you just had incorrect slashes in your URL?

The code that parses the log4j.xml config is a little case sensitive, so
modify your appender to have the 'file' param lowercase and save it - I'll
commit a fix for this.  Chainsaw doesn't know what catalina base is, so you
should temporarily replace the catalina.base system property with a path:
param name=file value=/path/to/logs/mylog.log /

Then in Chainsaw:
1. use the file-load chainsaw configuration menu item
2. Choose the (default) Use fileappender entries from a log4j config file
3. Click 'open file' and browse to your log4j xml configuration file and
select it
4. Click the 'save configuration as' button and save this configuration with
a file name (it will generate an xml configuration file, so save with an
.xml extension)
5. Click the 'always start Chainsaw with this configuration' (if you'd like)

Chainsaw should parse the conversion pattern and create a
VFSLogFilePatternReceiver configuration that will parse the fields in your
log file.

Don't forget to un-do your temporary changes to your log4j xml config file.
This same process would work for remote config files, you would just need to
change the resulting fileURL in the chainsaw config file to be an sftp://
URL.

Hope that helps..

2011-07-21 Thread Scott Deboy

If you are still having problems, the issue may be with your server.
VFSLogFilePatternReceiver uses Jakarta Commons VFS, which uses the JSch
library to support the 'sftp' protocol.  According to their website, this
is:
*SSH File Transfer Protocol(version 0, 1, 2, 3)

*I'd suggest verifying your server actually supports SFTP.  It may support
ssh connections but not support the SSH File Transfer Protocol.

Re: Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage

2011-07-21 Thread Scott Deboy

Here you go..

1. start chainsaw
2. Choose the file, load chainsaw configuration menu item
3. When the dialog opens, choose the 'process a log file' option
4. Click the 'open file' button and choose the local file you'd like to
process, or manually enter the sftp:// URL you want to use (I'd first try
with a local file just to make sure it works, but once it is working, you
can just change this to your sftp URL).
5. Leave Log file format type as 'LogFilePatternReceiver LogFormat'
6. Click the down arrow next to the Log file format drop down and choose
'MESSAGE' (it will put the entire log line in the 'message' field but you
won't have issues with mismatched log entries, so we will see events come in
to a tab).
7.don't worry about Log file timestamp format, since you don't have
TIMESTAMP field defined in your log format
8. Click 'save configuration as' and browse to where you want to save it and
give it a name (I just entered 'c:\new-logfile-receiver-config.xml' in the
box)
9. Click the 'always start chainsaw with this configuration button'
10. Press ok

Events should show up in a new tab, the tab name being the name of the log
file you chose to process.

If you open the receiver panel you should see a receiver whose name is the
log file you chose to process.

Here is the contents of 'new-logfile-receiver-config.xml' after I did this
(it did create a tab for me, and I have a receiver defined)

?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j=http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/;
debug=true
plugin class=org.apache.log4j.chainsaw.vfs.VFSLogFilePatternReceiver
name=/C:/andyRILog.txt
param name=appendNonMatches value=true/
param name=autoReconnect value=true/
param name=fileURL value=file:/C:/andyRILog.txt/
param name=logFormat value=MESSAGE/
param name=name value=/C:/andyRILog.txt/
param name=promptForUserInfo value=false/
param name=tailing value=true/
param name=timestampFormat value=-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS/
param name=waitMillis value=2000/
/plugin
/log4j:configuration

Again, if you are going to try sftp after this, change promptForUserInfo to
true and change your fileURL.  You can play with the logFormat and
timestampFormat once you have it working as well.

This worked for me out of the box with the developer snapshot you downloaded
from http://people.apache.org/~sdeboy

 Chainsaw settings are stored in $userhome/.chainsaw - in that folder has a
 chainsaw-settings.xml file that is used to store application-wide
 preferences.  Here is how you can get the 'configurationURL' field to be
 set
 in that file via the GUI:

 Use the file-load Chainsaw configuration menu option, then select 'use a

 I can do some lazy initialization, but there is still a basic problem.

 Looking at the source code for LogManager, I find that it has a static
 block of code. This static block will run as I try to do anything with
 LogManager. I can get it down to LogManager.setRepositorySelector(rs,guard)
 without trigerring the static block in LogManager. The mere call to
 setRepositorySelector runs the static block first, which runs code that
 calls OptionConverter.selectAndConfigure(...) unless
 log4j.defaultInitOverride is set.

 So there is no way to prepare log4j before it initializes unless the user
 is kind enough to set log4j.defaultInitOverride or define
 log4j.configuratorClass. Both of these require the user - instead of the
 library handling the logging on behalf of the user - to setup the
 environment correctly and without conflicting with any other application.

 Thank you,

 Can you lazily initialize the ref to the root logger in your

Re: How do I hook in before log4j starts?

2011-07-18 Thread Scott Deboy

log4j initialization is running because of explicit programmatic
configuration (via PropertyConfigurator/DOMConfigurator) or more likely a
static logger declaration or a logger instance be initialized prior to your
configuration code being ran.

I'd suggest changing your logger declarations to be non-static and moving
your initialization logic into a static block at the top of the first class
that is being loaded.

 I call my Library Jar which has log4j setup in it. I'm calling a static
 method in my class. Before I can get to the
 LogManager.setRepositorySelector, log4j gets to run, loads its configuration
 from log4j.configuration, can't interpret the unrecognized parameters, and
 generally finishes initialization. I suspect that when I enter the Library
 to run a static method that all of the other statics are run, along with the
 statics in log4j.jar. So log4j initializes before you can get a chance to
 setup anything. Unless I'm missing something, how can I get around this
 Catch-22?

Can you lazily initialize the ref to the root logger in your
LoggerRepositoryHandler instead of passing it in to the constructor?  It
seems like that should resolve your problem.

 The inherited code did have some public static final
 org.apache.log4j.Logger ... calls, thank you. Changing those allowed my
 code to be called first. However a Catch-22 still exists. Trying:

private static final Object guard = new Object();
private static final LoggerRepositoryHandler handler =
 setupLoggerRepositoryHandler();

private static LoggerRepositoryHandler setupLoggerRepositoryHandler() {
LoggerRepositoryHandler handle =
new
 LoggerRepositoryHandler(org.apache.log4j.LogManager.getLoggerRepository().getRootLogger());

org.apache.log4j.LogManager.setRepositorySelector(new
 RepositorySelector() {
public LoggerRepository getLoggerRepository() {
return handler;
}}, guard
);

return handle;
}

 This gets called first, but the
 org.apache.log4j.LogManager.getLoggerRepository() call to link my repository
 with the default repository invokes the log4j setup, which completes and
 uses the default repository before my new repository (with the
 parseUnrecognizedElement method) is setup. If I set the selector first then
 when I call getLoggerRepository() it will go through my selector which has
 no default repository setup.

 I can't get ahold of the log4j system to link in my
 parseUnrecognizedElement method first without letting log4j setup everything
 first.

 How has anyone every hooked parseUnrecognizedElement into log4j before it
 starts up?

 I just need to process multiple non-logger/appender-specific myKey=myValue
 parameters like this:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM log4j.dtd

log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j=http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/;
 debug=true

param name=myKey value=myValue/

 Thank you,

Re: I need to handle log4j:WARN Unrecognized element param

2011-07-15 Thread Scott Deboy

Here's how Chainsaw does it:

1. Create your own LoggerRepository implementation that implements
unrecognizedelementhandler (Chainsaw uses LoggerRepositoryExImpl from the
components companion).

LogManager.setRepositorySelector(new RepositorySelector() {

  public LoggerRepository getLoggerRepository() {
  return repositoryExImpl;
  }}, repositorySelectorGuard);

Then you can call DOMConfigurator.configure and it'll pass those
unrecognized elements to your repository selector impl.

 I get log4j:WARN Unrecognized element param because we have some extra
 entries in the log4j 1.2.15 XML configuration file at the root level.

 The code uses
 DOMConfigurator configurator = new DOMConfigurator();
 configurator.doConfigure(inputStream,
 org.apache.log4j.LogManager.getLoggerRepository());

 The LoggerRepository returned doesn't implement UnrecognizedElementHandler
 (or at least not that I know how to connect to it).
 I thought of using
 class ExtendedLoggerRepository extends
 org.apache.log4j.LoggerRepositoryExImpl {
public boolean parseUnrecognizedElement(
org.w3c.dom.Element element,
java.util.Properties props)
throws java.lang.Exception {
// My code
}
}
configurator.doConfigure(
inputStream,
new
 ExtendedLoggerRepository(org.apache.log4j.LogManager.getLoggerRepository()));

 But my IntelliJ says that LoggerRepositoryExImpl, which is a public final
 class, is not in that package nor the spi subpackage.

 What is the right way of using the default logger repository but hooking in
 so that I can parse extra parameters as in:
 ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
 !DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM log4j.dtd
 log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j=http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/;
 debug=true
 param name=somename value=somevalue/
 :

 Thank you,
