Hi, I am also new to using Chainsaw, infact I studied it yesterday and using it to view my log file.
What I guess is that you have given the logFormat information in a wrong way. You are supposed to write the logFormat in KEYWORDS and not as you have written in your properties file. In other words the format you have specifed in properties file need to converted into KEYWORDS and then should be specified in logFormat. OR in LogFilePatternReceiver javadoc (In Chainsaw goto Help->Receiver Javadoc->LogFilePatternReceiver) this is mentioned as "specify the pattern (logFormat) used in the log file using keywords, a wildcard character (*) and fixed text ". I have created a LogReceiver for your file and succesfully opened it in Chainsaw. I have used following properties for creating the LogReceiver fileURL : file:///C:/temp/Chainsaw/exemple5.log filterExpression : logFormat : TIMESTAMP LEVEL CLASS - FILE:LINE - MESSAGE name : whatever tailing : true timestampFormat : by default Regards, Jitendra ________________________________ From: Jean-Marie Hénaff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2005 6:54 PM To: log4j-user@logging.apache.org Subject: chainsaw-LogFilePatternReceiver Hi, I am new to Log4J and chainsaw, and there is something I can't make work. I managed to make my logger use the console appender, the log file appender, and the xml appender. I can visualize my XML file with chainsaw, but I would like to use a LogFilePatternReceiver, so I won't have to open my file every time it changes. (If I get this right) To do that I create a new LogFilePatternReceiver, and I fill the form as follows: fileURL : file:/foo/bar/exemple5.log <file:/foo/bar/myFile.log> //<-- created with a FileAppender filterExpression : LEVEL >= INFO logFormat : %d %-5p %c - %F:%-4L - %m%n // <-- cut'n pasted from the properties file, the pattern I used for the FileAppender name : whatever tailing : true timestampFormat : by default and chainsaw seems to find my files because the messages I get from it are like >>found non-matching line: 2005-02-02 11:48:59,453 WARN org.progx - >>exemple5.java: 19 - Exiting application where the non matching line belongs to myFile.log. I don't understand this message : does this mean that he can't parse my log file according to the Pattern I gave? In this case there would be a problem, because the Pattern is the same I used to write my log file (I cut'n pasted it from the properties file). (Ah, I forgot to tell that I also gave my properties file to chainsaw when I launched it) Anybody can help me? (is it supposed to look as if I opened my xml file from the File menu, as I expect? ) Thanks. (I attached my files ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
