There is a bug in this appender that is preventing it from processing events (as you mentioned, the log4j framework thinks the appender is inactive).
I'll make a commit to fix this on the trunk. If you have the code locally and would like to fix it, after the constructor of the MulticastSocket in the connect() method, add this line: active = true; Scott Deboy Principal Engineer COMOTIV SYSTEMS 111 SW Columbia Street Ste. 950 Portland, OR 97201 Office: 503.224.7496 Direct Line: 503.821.6482 Cell: 503.997.1367 Fax: 503.222.0185 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.comotivsystems.com -----Original Message----- From: Hava Sayed [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 15, 2007 8:31 AM To: log4j-user@logging.apache.org Subject: MultiCastAppender configuration Hi I am trying to configure log4j to log to Chainsaw on a remote host using Multicast. I have a MultiCastReceiver set up on Chainsaw and I have the following config on my client <appender name="Multicast" class="org.apache.log4j.net.MulticastAppender"> <param name="RemoteHost" value="232.10.0.0"/> <param name="Port" value="8100"/> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.xml.XMLLayout"/> </appender> However I keep getting the following error ERROR org.apache.log4j.net.MulticastAppender - Attempted to log with inactive appender named [Multicast]. Am I missing something in my configuration?
