Re: WebLogic 8.1 and Chainsaw

Coming back to the problem at hand, we should investigate why chainsaw blocks after a while, because if chainsaw is blocked, all AsyncAppender can do is to delay disaster by only a few seconds or at most few minutes. I haven't found (or tried to find) a guaranteed way to

Re: WebLogic 8.1 and Chainsaw

We were using chainsaw to monitor WL 8.1 too, using a SocketHubAppender (so that multiple chainsaw clients could easily connect to receive the logs) - it's especially useful for us because we don't have direct access to the drive that hosts the log files (we have to access them via a web

RE: chainsaw for viewing messages remotely??

Amit - you just need to define a second plugin /plugin, in the chainsaw config file, this time specifying the second file name - chainsaw will then create two receivers, with the log from each going into a separate tab in chainsaw (by default, although the tab(s) that the events get sent

Re: generating log4j.xml

This reminds me, I made changes to the Log4jAdmin page that I didn't get round to making public yet - I replaced the dropdown box with a set of radio boxes next to each logger, making it much easier (I think) to update the configuration. I also added an INHERITED level (just sets the

Re: Chainsaw v2 tab names and a few more general questions

I can answer some of these... 1) have a look at your Tab Identifier in Application-Wide preferences... you might find that by changing that you can make the log events split across tabs that are even more useful to you than your original setup. 2) enable your webstart console (assuming you're

chainsaw expressions

Hi all, I've been trying to use an expression something like this to refine the focus: !(MSG ~= counterpart) and it's not working... I get invalid partial text rule - !(MSG is not a valid field in a tooltip when I hover the mouse over the expression. I've tried moving the ! around a

log4j initialization - weblogic- ear file

Hi, Reading the manual I found the example Initialization servlet. I've tried to get this working in our app but I'm experiencing problems because getServletContext().getRealPath(/) returns null (Having spent a while googling, I think this is because I'm packaging everything in an ear file).

chainsaw default format for detail panel + xmlfile loading

Based on my experience so far with chainsaw, I don't think it's possible to save the layout of the detail panel. So I have a small request - can the %throwable be surrounded by pre /pre? It makes it much easier to read, IMHO. For quick copy-paste if someone (Scott/Paul?) agrees:

JMSReceiver - chainsaw

Hi, Thanks for the improvements to the receiver panel for restarting receivers! I'm now trying to evaluate the JMSReceiver - someone here raised the issue that the SocketHubAppender/Receiver is not password protected, and also there are concerns over the possible performance impact if lots of

MDC

I hope two questions in one day isn't seen as abusing the mailing list :) We were using MDCs in our PatternLayout before I changed it to XMLLayout - and I've only just realised that we're now missing the info that was contained in the MDC. Can anyone give me an idea of how long it might be

RE: MDC

Thanks Paul. After reading the log4j manual I realised that because of the limited way we were using MDC it was an easy switch to NDC - so for now, ie until log4j1.3 is officially released, I'll go with NDC... Sorry, I should have done more research before posting the question. Cheers,

problem loading xml events to chainsaw

Hi, Been using chainsaw v2 for a couple of days - can't get enough of it, I've introduced the rest of the team to it and we're tidying up the logging in our application to get the most benefit possible, but I'm having a problem loading xml events from a file into chainsaw... When I try this
