Problem with custom receiver in chainsaw
Hi Guys,

me this error message. Any help is highly appreciated.

com.ntrs.util.ElsOverSshReceiver is my custom class and I am able to see
it on the left side explorer inside the chainsaw interface. But it is not
able to load the events, or I dont know why it is not able to process
further.
Thanks in advance.

RE: [Chainsaw] Can we stream events from two log files into the same tab
Posted by Scott Deboy <sd...@comotivsystems.com>.
You have a couple of options:
- Change the system-wide 'tab identifier'
Events are routed to chainsaw based on the fields in the event. The
default tab identifier is 'PROP.hostname - PROP.application', meaning
each event is examined for a 'hostname' and 'application' properties,
and the values are concatenated together with a ' - ', and whatever
value that is, that's the tab that event goes to.
See the tutorial (from the help menu) for a list of valid identifiers.
I believe the file-based receivers hijack the hostname and application
properties in order to build a tab that makes sense, so you would
probably need to use some other event attribute or property.
You could use LEVEL as the tab identifier (you'd get one tab for each
level). You can even use EVENTS as a tab identifier (all events from
all sources go to a single EVENTS tab).
- create a new tab that is a 'view' of events on other tabs
Use the 'view, create custom expression logpanel' menu and build an
expression (again, see the tutorial) that will collect your events from
the two log files into a single tab (usually an expression like 'logger
~= com.yourcompany' will work).
Hope that helps
Scott

You probably need a com.ntrs.util.ElsOverSshReceiverBeanInfo class. See
MulticastReceiver and MulticastReceiverBeanInfo for examples:
