There is a default 'tab identifier' which controls how events are initially routed to tabs. This tab identifier relies on the expression syntax keywords (see the tutorial).
For example, to have events route to a tab based on level (all WARN events end up on a common tab, all INFO events end up on a common tab, etc), use the tab identifier LEVEL. The default tab identifier routes events based on a combination of the application name (if provided) and host name. ChainsawAppenderHandler is the class that processes events received by any receiver and forwards the events to the appropriate tab. See getTabIdentifier method and the inner class WorkerThread's dispatchEventBatch method. http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/logging-chainsaw/src/java/org/apache/log4j/chainsaw/ChainsawAppenderHandler.java?rev=1.28&view=markup Scott -----Original Message----- From: Tan Kah Siong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mon 6/27/2005 12:58 AM To: Log4J Users List Cc: Subject: Tabs of Chainsaw Hi, I am trying to patch a some parts of the receiver (file pattern and db) to suit some of my requirements. I have the following enquiries on how the LoggingEvent work. I wish to know what determines the tab when chainsaw is running. I am trying to parse a xml lite file by making some decoder changes to LogFilePatternReceiver class. My way was to directly manipulate the file and place all the names fields and values into CurrentMap. The changes seems to work except that on every new line of log, a new tab pops up in chainsaw, thus the question on what determines the tab. My gut feeling tells me its in the LoggingEvent class, but i cannot find any info on my problem based on that class. Please advice. ____________________________________________________ Yahoo!
