loading more receivers

["Cerizza, Giordano" <gc...@utk.edu>]

Hi,
I have five different independent applications that send error messages to the same Chainsaw into one receiver and
everything works fine. In general, I have a xml file, that loads when launching Chainsaw, that allows me to have all 
the parameters for the receiver instantiated at the start up. The code for the receiver looks like:

   <plugin name="logFileReceiver" class="org.apache.log4j.net.XMLSocketReceiver">
     <param name="name" value="pixelFED" />
     <param name="port" value="1970" />
     <param name="threshold" value="INFO" />
   </plugin>

Now I would like to have for each application its own receiver on the same port.
If I'd like to have more receivers on the same port but with different name, is there a way I can implement this via
xml config file instead of my hand? I tried by hand and it works but I would like to automatize this process.

Thanks a lot
ciao

RE: loading more receivers

[Scott Deboy <sd...@comotivsystems.com>]

The latest versions of the network-based appenders support an
'application' property - if each of your applications define the
application property, they'll show up in their own tab - you should be
able to continue to use the receiver config listed below.

Does that help?
