I was able to convert the events below with the included configuration. Jul 2, 2008 11:40:10 AM <<fully-qualified-class-name>> <clinit> INFO: Setting debug level to INFO Jul 2, 2008 11:40:10 AM <<fully-qualified-class-name>> addDefaultProperty WARNING: nas.nfdc.ascii.basedir default already set by: <<file-with-path>> which probably means it's being defined twice, which isbad!!
--------------- config: <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/"; debug="true"> <plugin name="fileReceiver" class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LogFilePatternReceiver"> <param name="fileURL" value="file:/fakeevents.log"/> <param name="timestampFormat" value="MMM d, yyyy h:mm:ss a"/> <param name="logFormat" value="TIMESTAMP CLASS * LEVEL: MESSAGE"/> <param name="name" value="testLog"/> <param name="tailing" value="true"/> </plugin> <root> <level value="debug"/> </root> </log4j:configuration> A few things to keep in mind: - logFilePatternReceiver's timestamp format relies on SimpleDateFormat patterns - the pattern in the configuration assumes 1-hour times appear as single digits (8, not 08 for the hour) - any character you put in your timestamp format or log format HAS to exist in your log file (spaces and delimiters) - chainsaw doesn't recognize 'WARNING' severity (it recognizes 'WARN') - it'll show up as DEBUG in the logs - newlines can be used in log message text 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: Shriver, Daniel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed 7/2/2008 8:18 AM To: Log4J Users List Subject: FillePatternReciever I'm looking at local documentation for LogFilePatternReciever and am still confused on configuring it. I have a log file with lines like: Jul 2, 2008 11:40:10 AM <<fully-qualified-class-name>> <clinit> INFO: Setting debug level to INFO Jul 2, 2008 11:40:10 AM <<fully-qualified-class-name>> addDefaultProperty WARNING: nas.nfdc.ascii.basedir default already set by: <<file-with-path>> which probably means it's being defined twice, which isbad!! (I've blanked out fully-qualified-class-name and file-with-path, just to make sure I'm not releasing anything I'm not supposed to) So I have a receiver config: <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/"; debug="true"> <plugin name="fileReceiver" class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LogFilePatternReceiver"> <param name="fileURL" value="file:/devel/scengen/dshriver/ATMM.log"/> <param name="timestampFormat" value="mmm dd, yyyy II:MM:SS p"/> <param name="logFormat" value="TIMESTAMP CLASS * LEVEL: MESSAGE"/> <param name="name" value="testLog"/> <param name="tailing" value="true"/> </plugin> <root> <level value="debug"/> </root> </log4j:configuration> When I ask chainsaw to load this file a dialog pops up saying "Loaded 0 events." (even though the file pointed to in the config file by fileURL has multiple lines in it (the two at top are some example lines from it)). I suspect my timestampFormat is off, I've tried tweaking it several times (modeling it after 'C's time notation) but still get nothing loaded in by chainsaw. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
