Thanks Scott that was very helpful (and fast).

Am I missing the reference to what Prop keyNames are available? It would be nice to know what is available (who knows maybe I'll find something i didn't know i couldn't live without). Even if it's just a matter of looking at the right javadocs that's enough. I'd just like to be able to tinker on my own.

Thanks for all your hard work.  Chainsaw is pretty cool.

Two things:

1. To get every socketappender connection to display in its own tab in
Chainsaw, use PROP.log4j.remoteSourceInfo as the tab identifier (note
the log4j. in front of the property name - log4j. isn't some special
property name, that's just the name of the property).

2. The 'application' property on socketappender is how you route events
to different tabs when the two apps are running on the same server and
using socketappender.

Here's an example of that config:

<appender name="SOCKET" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender">
       <param name="remoteHost" value="localhost"/>
       <param name="LocationInfo" value="true"/>
       <param name="port" value="4560"/>
       <param name="application" value="someappname"/>
   </appender>

Use a different value in the 'application' param for each of the
socketappender configs and you should be fine.

Subject: Chainsaw Tab identifier

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out what things I need to place in my Tab
identifier field to filter out my applications.  I'm using log4j v
1.2.13 and chainsaw v2.  I have two applications running on the same
server and both are using a socketHubAppender on different ports.

I don't have any location info so the default "PROP.hostName -
PROP.application" only separates by hostname and since I'm running two
apps on the same server I get both logs dumped to the same tab.  I've
tried adding PROP.remoteSourceInfo (since that is a column in the logs
that shows up and has the port number listed) and that property
appears to return nothing.  It's my understanding that the location
info does not work in log4j 1.2.X.  So my question is two fold.  Is
there some reference that I can look at that will tell me what
properties are available, and can someone tell me how I would go about
doing this?  I see in the comments for LoggingEventFieldResolver the
following field are available but nothing here seems like it will work
for me.  Plus there seems to be no explanation of what keyName is in
PROP.keyName.

* Field Name                Field value (String
representation                Return type
* LOGGER                    category name

hashtable                   String
*                           mapped to the key [keyName]


Any help would be appreciated.
