Thanks, Scott. Your reply and the source code is definitely helpful. It's only now that I've realized these classes aren't in log4j-1.2.8, even though they've been around since 2003 according to CVS. Were they not included because of JDK compatibilty issues?
In any case, I downloaded the files, added them to the 1.2.8 tree, did a build, and have 168 various errors. It seems like I'm missing something basic. I'd rather not build a new jar if I have to; is this the only way?

The machine socketReceiver runs on IS the destination host - the 'name' property is just used for display purposes - maybe you have multiple socketreceivers configured to receive events from multiple machines, for example. SocketReceiver uses socketserver accept to accept connections from socketAppenders on the port provided. Multicast is udp - the difference is really that multicastappender joins a multicast group and relies on routers to forward packets to interested networks. UDP appender sends UDP packets to a target host. UDP receiver receives the packet and converts the packet to an event and hands it over to Chainsaw. Multicast packets are sent to a multicast group by the multicast appender. Any number of machines can send packets to the multicast group. Any number of machines can also join the multicast group using a multicast receiver and receive all of the logging events sent by anyone sending to that multicast group. UDP/multicast is an unreliable protocol (you may lose events) and there are limits on the packet size (the smallest MTU of any link in the chain, I believe). Here is a link to the net package containing the sources for these receivers and appenders: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/logging-log4j/src/java/org/apache/log4j/ne t/ Does that help?

It wasn't clear to me that "name" is "hostname." Maybe you could answer another log4j/Chainsaw question, if you have a moment...do you know the difference between MulticastReceiver and UDPReceiver? I always thought UDP *is* a type of multicasting. I'm also looking for sample log4j.xml configurations for appenders corresponding to MulticastReceiver and UDPReceiver.

If you are getting classNotFoundExceptions, move the socket appender to the beginning of your list of appenders, and remove 'locationInfo=true' if it's set on the socketappender.

Actually, I can't type anything at all for connectedSocketDetails. I can type an IP or DNS name for the listener property, but as soon as I click "OK" to save what I've typed, the value is cleared. This used to work a few weeks ago -- must have been a prior release -- but now I can't get Chainsaw SocketReceivers to work at all. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
