Hi Paul, Got your point and thanks a ton for your suggestions. I used the specific logger and it is working. However, what this logger is doing, It is filtering logs from the chainsaw itself, 1) that means now my logs are not coming into chainsaw but it is directly going to the log file which I dont want. Specifically I want that it should display logs to the chainsaw but while storing that into log file, it only stores the logs of my application not internal chainsaw logs. 2) In my application I have more then one logger, so to get logs from all, the general solution I can think is paste the same appender number of times and just change the logger name, this way it can work but is it possible that I can specify all my loggers at one place with just one appender? How can I do that?
thanks in advance.

If you name these log files appropriately and put them side by side each other, then you can view one with some other tool, and drag it's companion XML version into Chainsaw. > 2) If I want to filter the chainsaw internal logs in my log file > how can I do that? Only attach the XMLLayout and/or PatternLayout appenders to the root logger of your own package naming hierarchy. Right now you have attached them to the root logger. If your own logging events belong to, say, the 'com.mycompany.myproduct.LoggerA' Logger, then you could attach the appender to the "com.mycompany" logger. Something like: class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender"> value="[%d{ISO8601} %-5p][%20.20c][%t] %m%n" /> ....(do the same sort of thing for XML version, just use a different Layout) .... ...
