Your A2 appender specifies patterns that will generate Location Info for the logging event.
Chainsaw V2 can't currently process serialized events from log4j 1.2.x if they contain MDC or location info. The solution is to move the socket appender to the front of your list of appenders: log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, A2, Chainsaw Scott -----Original Message----- From: Ami Thomasgaard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed 6/1/2005 10:45 AM To: log4j-user@logging.apache.org Cc: Subject: Help with Chainsaw v2 configuration. Receiver-log tab is missing in the chainsawWebStart gui. Hi! I've tried to follow the scenario described in http://www.codecomments.com/message1198937.htm . But when loading the configuration in Chainsaw v2 (chainsawWebStart) - either by including the URL to the log4j-receiver-sample.xml in the view-show or just by adding the socket/log file receiver - nothing happens beside that I see the receiver in the Receivers window/panel. No warnings, errors or any new tab.
