Chainsaw LogFilePatternReceiver

[abc abc <ne...@yahoo.com>]

Hello Users,

I am using log4J and now I want to use chainsaw to see the logs. I configured log4J using following configurations.

log4j.appender.logFile=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.logFile.File=D:/abc.log
log4j.appender.logFile.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
log4j.appender.logFile.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.logFile.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{MM-dd-yy HH:mm:ss} %-5p [%x] %c{2} - %m%n
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, logFile

I want to know what should be the value for my LogFilePatternReceiver for this log4J configuration. Specifically, what should be the value where I have ************

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration >
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/" debug="true">
  <plugin name="LogFileReceiver" class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LogFilePatternReceiver">
     <param name="fileURL" value="file:///D:/SSJ/Logs/Seamless/seamless.log"/>
     <param name="timestampFormat" value="************"/>
     <param name="logFormat" value="************"/>
     <param name="name" value="sampleLogFilePatternReceiver"/>
     <param name="tailing" value="true"/>
    <param name="filter" value="************"/>
   </plugin>
   </log4j:configuration>
Thanks.

timeStampFormat=MM-dd-yy HH:mm:ss

logFormat=TIMESTAMP LEVEL NDC LOGGER - MSG

filter: don't define it unless you have a really big log file and only
want to see a subset of the logging events (note the default chainsaw
tab rolls the events, only displaying the most recent 5000..you can
change this in application-wide prefs).  If you need a filter, see the
Chainsaw tutorial for an explanation of the expression syntax used by
that filter (and by color/search/refine focus filters inside Chainsaw
itself).

Some comments:

%-5p results in severity level names getting cut short in the log file,
so some non-DEBUG levels will not be parseable (will display as DEBUG).
If you use %p this won't happen.

You should use a delimiter other than space around %x, since there may
be spaces in the NDC value itself and the receiver won't parse the
results correctly (maybe use a dash instead).

In general, spaces aren't very good delimiters because it's likely they
will show up in your log where you don't expect them.
