Hi Scott, Thanks for the response, I have downloaded the VFS + commons necessary files and now it works fine, with this method I can display the remote log files in Chainsaw.
I have another question regarding Chainsaw, I would appreciate if you could give some feedback on this cause I see no light there! :-( I was wondering if is possible to launch Chainsaw remotely using Java Web Start, I have tested that but for some reason I do not know if I launch Chainsaw as standalone in the remote server the messages are received well and port 4445 is listening to new SocketReceiver messages but if I launch the same Chainsaw using a JNLP file then port 4445 is not open and is not listening so new messages cannot be received by Chainsaw. Have you tried that in the past? From the mailing lists it seems it should work but I have no idea of what is happening, hete is my Chainsaw config file for that: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration PUBLIC "-//log4j/log4j Configuration//EN" "log4j.dtd"> <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/"; debug="false"> <plugin name="SocketReceiver" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SocketReceiver"> <param name="active" value="false"/> <param name="name" value="TestSocketReceiver" /> <param name="port" value="4445" /> </plugin> <appender name="RollingAppender" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender"> <param name="File" value="/home/project/test.log"/> <param name="Append" value="true"/> <param name="MaxFileSize" value="20000KB"/> <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="400"/> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d | %-5r | %-5p | %c | %t:%x | %m%n"/> </layout> </appender> <root> <level value="debug"/> <appender-ref ref="RollingAppender"/> </root> <logger name="org.apache.log4j"> <level value="off"/> </logger> </log4j:configuration> And this is my log4j config file for sending messages to the receiver: # Set root logger level to DEBUG and its only appender to ConsoleAppender. log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG,stdout,A1 # ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout # Pattern to output the caller's file name and line number. log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p [%t] (%F:%L) - %m%n # A1 is set to be a SocketAppender sending its output to the server running on the remote host, port 4445 log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender log4j.appender.A1.Port=4445 log4j.appender.A1.RemoteHost=localhost Any ideas? 2009/9/1, Scott Deboy <[email protected]>: > Here is a link describing what you need to install to use VFS in Chainsaw: > > http://logging.apache.org/chainsaw/distributionnotes.html > > Scott > > On Tue, Sep 1, 2009 at 5:58 AM, Moley Harey <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi folks, >> >> As still I could not work properly with chainsaw using Java Web Start, I >> was >> thinking about a workaround solution which is the use the >> "VFSLogFilePatternReceiver" to access a remote log file and display it >> into >> Tomcat. >> >> The problem is that I have downloaded the standalone version of Chainsaw >> from the web and it seems I do not have that package >> "org.apache.log4j.chainsaw.vfs.VFSLogFilePatternReceiver" in any of the >> *.jar I downloaded, this is the full list of libraries I have: >> >> >> jakarta-oro-2.0.6.jar >> jmdns.jar >> log4j-1.3alpha-7.jar >> log4j-chainsaw-2.0alpha-1.jar >> log4j-optional-1.3alpha-7.jar >> log4j-oro-1.3alpha-7.jar >> log4j-smtp-1.3alpha-7.jar >> log4j-xml-1.3alpha-7.jar >> log4j-zeroconf.jar >> xstream-1.1.2.jar >> >> To create a VFSLogFilePatternReceiverdo I have to install some extra stuff >> to Chainsaw? >> >> Thanks in advance, >> >> Mh >> > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
