Re: AW: Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage
But in this case we're viewing a previously/currently written log4j file, hence the parsing. If you use a socket appender you can have Chainsaw capture the actual message events, just as you suggest. However, that may not be possible, nor even desirable, in many cases. I'm sure Scott Deboy can tell you more.

The file isn't going to be loaded, nor written to, using an invalid URL with
backslashes in it. Use all forward slashes. You have...

It should be

Chainsaw settings are stored in $userhome/.chainsaw - in that folder has a
chainsaw-settings.xml file that is used to store application-wide
preferences. Here is how you can get the 'configurationURL' field to be set
in that file via the GUI:
Use the file-load Chainsaw configuration menu option, then select 'use a
chainsaw config file' and browse to it, then check the 'always start
chainsaw with this configuration' check box.

Yesterday, I have a log4j.xml file defined and placed it in the chainsaw
folder. Today, after I download the new chainsaw and started the app, I
didn't tell the app where to look for the log4j.xml, but it seems find it
from the location (old chainsaw) I defined yesterday. I redefined a new
log4j.xml and place it under the new chainsaw folder. In application-wide
preference, I remove the old log4j.xml and use the new log4j.xml. After I
restarted the app, the log4j.xml in use is still the old one.
I will remove the old the application including the log4j.xml.

Re: Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage
Chainsaw can automatically build a Chainsaw config file from fileappender
entries in a log4j appender config file (both log4j.xml and log4j.properties
formats)...
By the way, I assume you can get sftp processing to work fine now as well,
since it looks like you just had incorrect slashes in your URL?
The code that parses the log4j.xml config is a little case sensitive, so
modify your appender to have the 'file' param lowercase and save it - I'll
commit a fix for this. Chainsaw doesn't know what catalina base is, so you
should temporarily replace the catalina.base system property with a path:
param name=file value=/path/to/logs/mylog.log /
Then in Chainsaw:
1. use the file-load chainsaw configuration menu item
2. Choose the (default) Use fileappender entries from a log4j config file
3. Click 'open file' and browse to your log4j xml configuration file and
select it
4. Click the 'save configuration as' button and save this configuration with
a file name (it will generate an xml configuration file, so save with an
.xml extension)
5. Click the 'always start Chainsaw with this configuration' (if you'd like)
Chainsaw should parse the conversion pattern and create a
VFSLogFilePatternReceiver configuration that will parse the fields in your
log file.
Don't forget to un-do your temporary changes to your log4j xml config file.
This same process would work for remote config files, you would just need to
change the resulting fileURL in the chainsaw config file to be an sftp://
URL.
Hope that helps..

RE: Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage
Scott, I already tried by removing the id/pwd and then set true to the promptforuserinfo. However, I don't see the GUI. After restarting the app, I still don't see the GUI. I think this issue might be related to the following problem: How does the app pick up receiver config file in my case log4j.xml? Yesterday, I have a log4j.xml file defined and placed it in the chainsaw folder. Today, after I download the new chainsaw and started the app, I didn't tell the app where to look for the log4j.xml, but it seems find it from the location (old chainsaw) I defined yesterday. I redefined a new log4j.xml and place it under the new chainsaw folder. In application-wide preference, I remove the old log4j.xml and use the new log4j.xml. After I restarted the app, the log4j.xml in use is still the old one. I will remove the old the application including the log4j.xml.

Re: Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage
Here you go.. 1. start chainsaw 2. Choose the file, load chainsaw configuration menu item 3. When the dialog opens, choose the 'process a log file' option 4. Click the 'open file' button and choose the local file you'd like to process, or manually enter the sftp:// URL you want to use (I'd first try with a local file just to make sure it works, but once it is working, you can just change this to your sftp URL). 5. Leave Log file format type as 'LogFilePatternReceiver LogFormat' 6. Click the down arrow next to the Log file format drop down and choose 'MESSAGE' (it will put the entire log line in the 'message' field but you won't have issues with mismatched log entries, so we will see events come in to a tab). 7.don't worry about Log file timestamp format, since you don't have TIMESTAMP field defined in your log format 8. Click 'save configuration as' and browse to where you want to save it and give it a name (I just entered 'c:\new-logfile-receiver-config.xml' in the box) 9. Click the 'always start chainsaw with this configuration button' 10. Press ok Events should show up in a new tab, the tab name being the name of the log file you chose to process. If you open the receiver panel you should see a receiver whose name is the log file you chose to process. Here is the contents of 'new-logfile-receiver-config.xml' after I did this (it did create a tab for me, and I have a receiver defined) ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j=http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/; debug=true plugin class=org.apache.log4j.chainsaw.vfs.VFSLogFilePatternReceiver name=/C:/andyRILog.txt param name=appendNonMatches value=true/ param name=autoReconnect value=true/ param name=fileURL value=file:/C:/andyRILog.txt/ param name=logFormat value=MESSAGE/ param name=name value=/C:/andyRILog.txt/ param name=promptForUserInfo value=false/ param name=tailing value=true/ param name=timestampFormat value=-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS/ param name=waitMillis value=2000/ /plugin /log4j:configuration Again, if you are going to try sftp after this, change promptForUserInfo to true and change your fileURL.
