If you're running Chainsaw from the Unix/DOS standalone download, you can remove jmdns.jar from the jars and run from the script...that'll prevent you from getting a zeroconf tab. If you run from the Web Start download, you probably can't avoid it.
Also, you can press F1 to hide the welcome tab (you have to do that each time you launch Chainsaw). I can't say when the next version of Chainsaw will be released - it's dependent on some log4j extras that haven't yet been officially released. Once those dependencies have been released, a Chainsaw release should follow shortly after. It looks like you're doing the right thing to get org.apache.log4j entries to not be appended.. I used: <logger name="org.apache.log4j"> <level value="OFF"/> </logger> And I did still get some messages on an empty tab ("-"), but I didn't get a chainsaw-log tab.

We don't need zeroconf at all (we will always be accessing local log files).

This has probably been answered elsewhere, but when is the next release scheduled that will include these changes. I would like to avoid running from a dev build if possible. > You can prevent the chainsaw-log tab from being created by adding an > 'org.apache.log4j' LOGGER entry to your Chainsaw log4j config file which > sets the level to ERROR (or OFF). I had already tried this, or at least I thought I did, and it did not work. I still get the chainsaw tab and all log messages (all levels). Below is the content of my config file. Am I doing this wrong? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration > <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/" debug="true"> <plugin name="Server Log" class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LogFilePatternReceiver"> <param name="fileURL" value="file:///C /jboss/server/default/log/server.log"/> <param name="timestampFormat" value="yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS"/> <param name="logFormat" value="TIMESTAMP LEVEL LOGGER MESSAGE"/> <param name="name" value="Server Log"/> <param name="tailing" value="true"/> </plugin> <!-- Limit the org.apache category to ERROR --> <category name="org.apache.log4j"> <priority value="OFF"/> </category> <root> <level value="debug"/> </root> </log4j:configuration> Thanks again, Dave > -----Original Message----- > From: Scott Deboy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2008 9:05 PM > To: log4j-user@logging.apache.org > Subject: RE: How do I start Chainsaw without extra tabs > > I'm not sure how to prevent the zeroconf tab from being created (other > than not having zeroconf dependencies in your Chainsaw classpath). > > The Welcome tab visibility is a remembered preference in Chainsaw SVN > trunk (not yet released version of Chainsaw). > > You can prevent the chainsaw-log tab from being created by adding an > 'org.apache.log4j' LOGGER entry to your Chainsaw log4j config file which > sets the level to ERROR (or OFF). > > Scott Deboy > COMOTIV SYSTEMS > 111 SW Columbia Street Ste. 950 > Portland, OR 97201 > > Telephone: 503.224.7496 > Cell: 503.997.1367 > Fax: 503.222.0185 > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > www.comotivsystems.com > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Dave Hensley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wed 3/19/2008 5:17 PM > To: log4j-user@logging.apache.org > Subject: How do I start Chainsaw without extra tabs > > Hi, > > > > I have created a startup config file that loads the receivers for my log > files.this is working great. > > > > I would like to start Chainsaw without the application creating a > chainsaw-log tab, Zeroconf tab, or the Welcome tab.
