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

["Scott Deboy (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-259?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12874242#action_12874242 ] 

Scott Deboy commented on LOG4NET-259:
-------------------------------------

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)..

> I believe the problem is in XmlLayoutSchemaLog4j, and that you need to change "log4japp" to "application".
> According to the Chainsaw tutorial:
> Chainsaw automatically looks inside each received LoggingEvent for a special Application property to determine which tab to route an event to. If it cannot find this property, it attempts to use a secondary property usually added via the SocketAppender or SocketHubAppender which identify the remote host of these events. If neither of these are found, Chainsaw routes events to a default "Unknown" tab.
> Logging events generated internally by chainsaw include the following properties:
> <log4j:properties>
>     <log4j:data name="application" value="Generator 1"/>
>     <log4j:data name="hostname" value="localhost"/>
>     <log4j:data name="log4jid" value="2"/>
>     <log4j:data name="some string" value="some valueGenerator 1"/>
> </log4j:properties>
> Logging events generated by XmlLayoutSchemaLog4j include the following properties:
> <log4j:properties>
>     <log4j:data name="log4net:UserName" value="DOMAIN\username"/>
>     <log4j:data name="log4jid" value="281"/>
>     <log4j:data name="log4jmachinename" value="machineName"/>
>     <log4j:data name="log4net:HostName" value="machineName"/>
>     <log4j:data name="log4japp" value="Application.exe"/>
> </log4j:properties>
