Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage

I am trying to view the log4j log using VFSLogFilePatternReceiverNoUserInfoPrompt.

Here is my log4j.xml:



<plugin name="VFSLogFilePatternReceiverNoUserInfoPrompt" class="org.apache.log4j.chainsaw.vfs.VFSLogFilePatternReceiver">

     <param name="fileURL" value="sftp://myid:mypwd@serverhost.xxx.yy.net//complete/path/to/logs/mylog.log"/>

     <param name="timestampFormat" value="yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS"/>

     <param name="logFormat" value="[TIMESTAMP] LEVEL THREAD (FILE:METHOD:LINE) -MESSAGE"/>

     <param name="name" value="VFSLogFilePatternReceiver"/>

     <param name="tailing" value="true"/>

   </plugin>



Start the chainsaw with this log4j.xml. Get the following msg:



attempting to load file: sftp://myid:mypwd@serverhost.xxx.yy.net//complete/path/to/logs/mylog.log

file not available - will try again in 10 seconds



The file is there at the remote site, I can sftp to it.  Why can chainsaw find it?

I tried the following with or without port number:



<param name="fileURL" value="sftp://myid:mypwd@serverhost.xxx.yy.net/complete/path/to/logs/mylog.log"/>

<param name="fileURL" value="sftp://myid:mypwd@serverhost.xxx.yy.net//complete/path/to/logs/mylog.log"/>

<param name="fileURL" value="sftp://myid:mypwd@serverhost.xxx.yy.net///complete/path/to/logs/mylog.log"/>

<param name="fileURL" value="sftp://myid:mypwd@serverhost.xxx.yy.net////complete/path/to/logs/mylog.log"/>



None of these work. I saw someone suggest to create a .ssh folder under user home and create a known_hosts file with the host name it.  I did that without help.



Please help. Thank you.

Re: AW: Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage

Posted by Jacob Kjome <ho...@visi.com>.

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.

> Are you saying you write a parser for log file entries? Hmm. Why not taking log4j sources and find the point where you can catch the message events, the real objects and massage this objects. I say that because you say: Everything is displayed under Message column. Getting access to the Message Event objects would allow you to check certain fields and then access much better what you may call part of the message column content. So the question be allowed; why parsin? What do you like to parse, find, filter out? And yes. Unless you have a clear idea about how your real-messages must be structured it is even hard to write a working parser.

One reason it does not parse correctly is that the log entries are not always consistent. Once in a while there is a plain text entry shown up.

AW: Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage

Posted by Stadelmann Josef <jo...@axa-winterthur.ch>.

Are you saying you write a parser for log file entries? Hmm. Why not taking log4j sources and find the point where you can catch the message events, the real objects and massage this objects. I say that because you say: Everything is displayed under Message column. Getting access to the Message Event objects would allow you to check certain fields and then access much better what you may call part of the message column content. So the question be allowed; why parsin? What do you like to parse, find, filter out? And yes. Unless you have a clear idea about how your real-messages must be structured it is even hard to write a working parser.

Betreff: RE: Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage

Thank you Scott.  It works for the local log file.  Everything is displayed under Message column.  I guess I need to try the different format to see how to parse the log file correctly. One reason it does not parse correctly is that the log entries are not always consistent. Once in a while there is a plain text entry shown up.

I will try sftp again soon.

Once again, thank you.

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="yyyy-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.  You can play with the logFormat and
timestampFormat once you have it working as well.

This worked for me out of the box with the developer snapshot you downloaded
from http://people.apache.org/~sdeboy

You can only specify one format, but you can get the non-matching rows to
still be included in the table in Chainsaw by setting AppendNonMatches to
'true' in the configuration file.  The non-matching rows will be added to
the 'unknown' logger, with the entire line set as the message.

Re: Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage

Posted by Scott Deboy <sc...@gmail.com>.

You can only specify one format, but you can get the non-matching rows to
still be included in the table in Chainsaw by setting AppendNonMatches to
'true' in the configuration file.  The non-matching rows will be added to
the 'unknown' logger, with the entire line set as the message.

RE: Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage

Posted by "Ding, Qin" <qi...@jpmchase.com>.

Thank you Scott.  It works for the local log file.  Everything is displayed under Message column.  I guess I need to try the different format to see how to parse the log file correctly. One reason it does not parse correctly is that the log entries are not always consistent. Once in a while there is a plain text entry shown up.

I will try sftp again soon.

Once again, thank you.

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="yyyy-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.  You can play with the logFormat and
timestampFormat once you have it working as well.

This worked for me out of the box with the developer snapshot you downloaded
from http://people.apache.org/~sdeboy

Re: Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage

Posted by Scott Deboy <sc...@gmail.com>.

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="yyyy-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.  You can play with the logFormat and
timestampFormat once you have it working as well.

This worked for me out of the box with the developer snapshot you downloaded
from http://people.apache.org/~sdeboy

Re: Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage

Posted by Scott Deboy <sc...@gmail.com>.

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..

Scott

RE: Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage

Posted by "Ding, Qin" <qi...@jpmchase.com>.

Thank you Jake.

Now with my file in C:/MyDocs/logs/mylog.log is loaded, it displays everything in Message column without splitting into different columns.

On log4j event generating side, I have

<appender name="DRFA" class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender">
     <param name="File" value="${catalina.base}/logs/mylog.log" />
     <param name="Append" value="true" />
     <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
         <param name="ConversionPattern"
                value="[%d{ISO8601}] %-5p %t (%F:%M:%L)  -%m%n " />
     </layout>
</appender>

On log4j receiving side: my receiver's logFormat is [TIMESTAMP] LEVEL THREAD (FILE:METHOD:LINE)  -MESSAGE

I don't know what the filterExpression and customerLevelDefinitions are; so I keep them empty.

How can I make the chainsaw parse mylog.log correctly into different columns?

QD

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...

"file:///C:\MyDocs\logs\mylog.log"

It should be....

"file:///C:/MyDocs/logs/mylog.log"

Or, simply...

"file:/C:/MyDocs/logs/mylog.log"

Re: Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage

Posted by Jacob Kjome <ho...@visi.com>.

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...

"file:///C:\MyDocs\logs\mylog.log"

It should be....

"file:///C:/MyDocs/logs/mylog.log"

Or, simply...

"file:/C:/MyDocs/logs/mylog.log"

RE: Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage

Posted by "Ding, Qin" <qi...@jpmchase.com>.

Scott:

1. I manually downloaded mylog.log; and define a logfilePatternReceiver within chainsaw. Pointing to mylog.log. after that, it just sits there, I see nothing.  The last entry in the detail panel: setValueAt, 2, 1, value=file:///C:\MyDocs\logs\mylog.log, valueClassclass java.lang.String

2. I copied the provided configuration file and modified the VFSLogFilePatternReceiver and put it in a folder.  Use the instruction you gave me to load it.  But on the receiver panel I did not see anything.  Manually define a VFSLogFilePatternReceiver.  Don't see the GUI prompt for id/pwd.

Would you please give me a detailed the instruction or your working sample configuration file?

Thank you

QD

chainsaw-settings.xml file that is used to store application-wide
preferences.  Here is how you can get the 'configurationURL' field to be set

Use the file-load Chainsaw configuration menu option, then select 'use a

RE: Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage

Posted by "Ding, Qin" <qi...@jpmchase.com>.

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.

Try this: set promptforuserinfo to 'true' and take your username and
password out of the sftp URL.  You will get a GUI username/password
prompt..maybe something with special characters in your password?

Re: Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage

Try this: set promptforuserinfo to 'true' and take your username and

If you are still having problems, the issue may be with your server.
VFSLogFilePatternReceiver uses Jakarta Commons VFS, which uses the JSch
library to support the 'sftp' protocol.  According to their website, this
is:
*SSH File Transfer Protocol(version 0, 1, 2, 3)

*I'd suggest verifying your server actually supports SFTP.  It may support
ssh connections but not support the SSH File Transfer Protocol.

Re: Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage

Posted by Scott Deboy <sc...@gmail.com>.

If you are still having problems, the issue may be with your server.
VFSLogFilePatternReceiver uses Jakarta Commons VFS, which uses the JSch
library to support the 'sftp' protocol.  According to their website, this
is:
*SSH File Transfer Protocol(version 0, 1, 2, 3)

*I'd suggest verifying your server actually supports SFTP.  It may support
ssh connections but not support the SSH File Transfer Protocol.

Re: Help Log4j Chainsaw - VFSLogFilePatternReceiver Usage

Posted by Scott Deboy <sc...@gmail.com>.

Here is a configuration I just used to retrieve a log file from my Mac using
the latest developer snapshot of Chainsaw V2 running on Vista.  I don't have
a known hosts file (or .ssh folder) on my vista box in my home folder or
under cygwin home.

Modify this configuration and let me know if it works for you.

The two differences I notice here:
1. I was using an IP address and not a name that needed to be resolved
2. I only have a single slash after the IP address

Change logFormat, timestampFormat and the specifics of fileURL as needed of
course:

<?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="sftp">
        <param name="appendNonMatches" value="true"/>
        <param name="autoReconnect" value="true"/>
        <param name="fileURL" value="sftp://
username:userpass@192.168.1.144/pathhere/log.txt"/>
        <param name="logFormat" value="TIMESTAMP PROP(OUTERLEVEL)
PROP(OUTERLOGGER)- * [THREAD] LEVEL LOGGER - MESSAGE"/>
        <param name="name" value="sftp"/>
        <param name="promptForUserInfo" value="false"/>
        <param name="tailing" value="true"/>
        <param name="timestampFormat" value="yyyyMMdd HH:mm:ss.SSS"/>
        <param name="waitMillis" value="2000"/>
    </plugin>
</log4j:configuration>

I use both Putty and FileZilla to get MyLog.log.  Credential is good.

Thank you for helping me.
