I forgot to mention a third option:
You can create a new tab pane based on existing existing events (similar
to a database view). New events will be routed to both the source pane
and the new pane:
- Go to the view menu, select 'create custom expression LogPanel', and
specify the expression: THREAD == 'some thread name'
A new tab pane will be created containing the events matching the
expression, regardless of which source pane they came from (a good way
to combine events from multiple sources into a single panel without
having to modify the tab identifier routing mechanism).
Also, anywhere you can define an expression (color filter, find, refine
focus, create custom expression logpanel), you can press ctrl-space or
right-click the mouse to display a menu that can help build the
expressions.

To elaborate on how you could use Chainsaw to quickly view
thread-specific information:
Use a logFilePatternReceiver to load the events from the log file into
Chainsaw. The events will be loaded into a single tab in the UI.
At that point, you have a couple of options to get at the
thread-specific information: 1. display events associated with each
unique thread in separate tabs
- Change the tab-routing expression to THREAD, which will create a
separate tab for each unique thread
(this may be overkill if you have apps with a lot of different
threads):
Go to the view menu, select 'application-wide preferences', change
the 'tab identifier' field to 'THREAD'
2. filter the events in the existing tab:
- build a display filter expression (see the tutorial for
information on building expressions):
in the 'refine focus' field, enter: thread == 'some thread name'
Single-quotes are only required if it's a multi-word operand. You
can quickly build this expression by right-clicking in
the 'thread' cell of an event you are interested in, and selecting
the 'set refine focus field' context menu option
Hope this helps
Scott
