Re: [jira] Created: (LOG4NET-259) Log4Net does not create a new tab in Chainsaw

[Scott Deboy <sc...@gmail.com>]

The tab routing mechanism is configurable, see application-wide preferences,
general, 'tab identifier' field.

You can provide any valid Chainsaw identifier or property name (or just a
fixed string, if you want all events to go to the same tab)..

The default value is:
PROP.hostname - PROP.application

But, you can change this to:
PROP.log4net:HostName - PROP.log4japp

(or log4jmachinename in the example above, since they appear to map to the
same value)..
