Sorry Scott I had not tried your instructions before I replied last time.

I can get PROP.log4j.remoteSourceInfo to show up in my tab identifier but PROP.application does not seem to work (which to be honest is much closer to what I want). I've seen that there is an issue with the serialized object translation from the 1.2.X branch to the 1.3 based chainsaw v2 download, and I don't receive Class, Method, File, or Line information in my logs. Is this possibly the reason PROP.application does not show up, or is there something else I have missed?



Here is the log4j.properties snippet for my app. I've bounced my server container just to make sure it reloaded and PROP.application continues to return nothing in chainsaw

log4j.properties sinppet (on server)

log4j.appender.HUB=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketHubAppender
log4j.appender.HUB.port=9005
log4j.appender.HUB.LocationInfo=true
log4j.appender.HUB.Threshold=DEBUG
log4j.appender.HUB.application=SES


Test Tab identifier string
PROP.application - PROP.log4j.remoteSourceInfo

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.
