You can include in Chainsaw's configuration any appenders you'd like, which will cause any events received by the receivers to be propagated to the appenders automatically.
You can also save logging events as XML in Chainsaw via the file menu (note, whatever events are displayed are saved, so you can apply filters if you'd like to only save relevant messages).
