I just tried this and it worked fine....I modified the Chainsaw config file
I was using (anything received by Chainsaw can also be sent to appenders
defined in the same config)...configuration and example log file output
below:
Here's what I added to the Chainsaw config file:
<appender name="F1" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
<param name="file" value="c:/temp/file.txt"/>
<param name="append" value="false"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%p %c - p1:%X{p1} p2:%X{p2}
%m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
<appender name="A1" class="org.apache.log4j.rewrite.RewriteAppender">
<appender-ref ref="F1"/>
<rewritePolicy
class="org.apache.log4j.rewrite.PropertyRewritePolicy">
<param name="properties" value="p1=Hello,p2=World,x1=3.1415"/>
</rewritePolicy>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="debug"/>
<appender-ref ref="A1" />
</root>
And here is an example output line:
DEBUG Unknown - p1:Hello p2:World 20110916 09:16:16.870 NOTICE RI- RI.DRI
FATAL ERROR WARNING INFO
