Scott and Jake,
Thanks to your help, now it works,
It seems that my fileURL was not containing the complete host-domain
name (it works for pscp with only the hostname but not with
chainsaw/jsch).
If Scott has information about the PromptForUserInfo availability, I'm
still interested.
Thanks a lot,
Bruno
******************************************
Here are my installation/config notes (if it could help someone to use
the VFSLogFilePatternReceiver):
Use chainsaw VFSLogFilePatternReceiver on a windows machine to see
remote files on a linux server:
- install chainsaw-bundle (unzip the chainsaw-bundle.zip) and
start/stop it (for the .chainsaw directory to be created in the user's
Home directory).
- create a plugins directory in %Home\.chainsaw\ and copy the
following jars in it:
commons-loggin-xxx.jar, commons-net-xxx.jar, commons-vfs-xxx.jar,
jakarta-oro-xxx.jar, jsch-xxx.jar, log4j-chainsaw-vfs.jar (see the
chainsaw documentation page for urls to download the jars)
- If it does not exist, create a known_hosts file in the %HOME/.ssh
(to create the .ssh directory on windows, use the ms-dos command as
windows explorer does not allow it). In the known_hosts file create a
line for the remote host containing the log files to be read (use a
ssh client, create it by copying the line from a linux server or use
the class Jake provide in previous thread).
Rk: as putty use registry keys to store known_hosts, it doesn't create
lines in the known_hosts file
- define the VFSLogFilePatternReceiver in your chainsaw configuration file:
for example, add the following lines to your-config-file.xml:
<plugin name="VFSLogFilePatternReceiverNoUserInfoPrompt"
class="org.apache.log4j.chainsaw.vfs.VFSLogFilePatternReceiver">
<param name="fileURL"
value="sftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:22/path/to/file/logfile.ext>
<param name="timestampFormat" value="yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS"/>
<param name="logFormat" value="TIMESTAMP LEVEL [LOGGER] MESSAGE"/>
<param name="name" value="sampleLogFilePatternReceiver"/>
<param name="tailing" value="true"/>
</plugin>
(the LogFormat param value has to match your logfile's format, see
Help -> Receiver Javadoc->org...LogFilePatternReceiver in chainsaw for
more info about the log format)
- the host.domain in the fileURL has to be the complete hostname and
has to match exactly with the line in the known_hosts file
- start chainsaw
- in the application-wide preferences, check "Ok to remove
SecurityManager" and set your config-file URL in the Automatic
Configuration URL (for example
file:///C:/config_chainsaw/chainsaw-jboss.xml)
- stop and start chainsaw
- the tab corresponding to the remote file should appear in chainsaw.
