Please help- Chainsaw Configuration
Hi there,
I used Rolling file appender in chainsaw Reciever configuration to
save the logs in one seprete local file.
It is working fine ,however I am facing following problems.
1) In the local file Logs are saved without any timestamp
information,I think it has to do with some layout pattern but couldnt
figure out.
below is my appender config in chainsaw,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration >
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/" debug="true">
<plugin name="SocketReceiver" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SocketReceiver">
<param name="Port" value="4445"/>
</plugin>
<appender name="RollingFile" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
<param name="File" value="C:\\chainsaw1.log"/>
<param name="Append" value="true"/>
<param name="MaxFileSize" value="1000KB"/>
<param name="maxBackupIndex" value="5"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.xml.XMLLayout"/>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="debug"/>
<appender-ref ref="RollingFile"/>
</root>
</log4j:configuration>
2) How can I filter/avoid the Chainsaw internal logs that comes in
"chainsaw-log" tab to store in the file along with my other logs. How
can I use some filter?
3) At the source side that is from where actual Socket appender is
sending logs to the chainsaw, what is the effect of Location
Info=true/false in rolling file appender..(I am using it)??.. I tried
both true and false in that but dont noticed any change at chainsaw side....the NDC,Line,Method
all fields are null in both cases.
below is my appender config.
#TEST
#Level=ALL, Facility=USER
log4j.debug=true
log4j.rootLogger=all,Chainsaw1,Chainsaw2,STDOUT,R
log4j.appender.Chainsaw1=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender
log4j.appender.Chainsaw1.remoteHost=localhost
log4j.appender.Chainsaw1.port=4445
log4j.appender.Chainsaw1.locationInfo=true
log4j.appender.Chainsaw1.layout.ConversionPattern=%p: %c - %m
log4j.appender.Chainsaw2=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender
log4j.appender.Chainsaw2.remoteHost=remotehost IP address
log4j.appender.Chainsaw2.port=4445
log4j.appender.Chainsaw2.locationInfo=true
log4j.appender.Chainsaw2.layout.ConversionPattern=%p: %c - %m
log4j.appender.STDOUT=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.STDOUT.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.STDOUT.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
log4j.appender.R.File=${catalina.base}/logs/test1.log
log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=3000KB
log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=5
log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %-5p [%t] %C{2} (%F:%L) - %m%n
4) when I Drag and drop the above XML file again in chainsaw it is
giving me following error,
"Log4jEntityResolver.resolveEntity(null, dummy://log4j.dtd/log4j.dtd)
called"
and the logs are keep increasing with this error.
Please help in solving this problems.
Thanks.

Chainsaw only supports dragging and dropping XML formatted log files
(that's why the tab says "Drag & Drop XML log files here").
Unfortunately Chainsaw is not auto-magic in it's ability to guess
what the format of you text log file is, so this just isn't going to
work for you. Sorry.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your help,
I can try another format,
how ever can you please look into my other problems that I previously described?
That are regarding skipping some logs and drag and drop xml file error!!!

Since you are using the XMLLayout for the log file being written to
disk, this is the way that layout outputs the Timestamp, using the
epoch timeformat of "number of milliseconds since 1-1-1970", which is
what the internal format for storing time.
If you don't want XML formatted logs, use a different Layout, such as

RE: Please help- Chainsaw Configuration
Posted by ashish talati <aj...@yahoo.com>.
Hi Scott,
Thank you very much for your help,
However I am still confused. Sorry for that as I am newbie in this so couldnt figure out.
1) Regarding Timestamp , yes I am also getting in the log file but it is different then the timestamp in the Chainsaw log panel.
below is the timestamp i m getting in the log panel and log file,
Time 2007-06-18 11:50:02,223 ----> in the chainsaw log panel
timestamp="1182185402223"---------> in the log file
It looks entirely different except last 5 digits.
2)I really dont know how to configure specific logger for my rolling File appender.
Can you give me specific example? (what can be logger hierarchy?)
I tried to create as below ,but It is not working.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration>
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/" debug="true">
<plugin name="SocketReceiver" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SocketReceiver">
<param name="Port" value="4445"/>
</plugin>
<log4j.logger.SocketReceiver_log=all,RollingFile>
<appender name="RollingFile" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
<param name="File" value="C:\\chainsaw1.log"/>
<param name="Append" value="true"/>
<param name="MaxFileSize" value="1000KB"/>
<param name="maxBackupIndex" value="5"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.xml.XMLLayout"/>
</appender>
<root>
<appender-ref ref="RollingFile"/>
</root>
</log4j:configuration>
3) I observed that The logs are storing in the Log file ,however It is skipping first few (specifically in my case 9) logs, that means the log storing in local log file starts after small amount of time which skpis the first few logs. (that can be Disastrous in my application)
Do you have any solution for this problem?
4)Drag and Drop XML file is still not working for me.
Below are few logs from my XML file: (Right now I am just testing so its a internal chainsaw logs , I haven't implimented my application yet)
<log4j:event logger="org.apache.log4j.joran.action.ConfigurationAction" timestamp="1182185395333" sequenceNumber="21" level="DEBUG" thread="javawsApplicationMain">
<log4j:message><![CDATA[Starting internal logs on console.]]></log4j:message>
<log4j:properties>
<log4j:data name="application" value="log"/>
<log4j:data name="hostname" value="chainsaw"/>
</log4j:properties>
</log4j:event>
<log4j:event logger="org.apache.log4j.joran.action.PluginAction" timestamp="1182185395333" sequenceNumber="22" level="DEBUG" thread="javawsApplicationMain">
<log4j:message><![CDATA[About to instantiate plugin of type [org.apache.log4j.net.SocketReceiver]]]></log4j:message>
<log4j:properties>
<log4j:data name="application" value="log"/>
<log4j:data name="hostname" value="chainsaw"/>
</log4j:properties>
</log4j:event>
And when I try to drag and drop this type of XML log files it gives me following logs and it keep increasing infinitely. ( I just pasted the messages that keep repeating)
Log4jEntityResolver.resolveEntity(null, dummy://log4j.dtd/log4j.dtd) called
setFile called: C:\chainsaw1.log, true
setFile ended
Failure in post-close rollover action

Subject: Please help- Chainsaw Configuration
Hi there,
I used Rolling file appender in chainsaw Reciever configuration to
save the logs in one seprete local file.
It is working fine ,however I am facing following problems.
1) In the local file Logs are saved without any timestamp
information,I think it has to do with some layout pattern but couldnt
figure out.
below is my appender config in chainsaw,
2) How can I filter/avoid the Chainsaw internal logs that comes in
"chainsaw-log" tab to store in the file along with my other logs. How
can I use some filter?
3) At the source side that is from where actual Socket appender is
sending logs to the chainsaw, what is the effect of Location
Info=true/false in rolling file appender..(I am using it)??.. I tried
both true and false in that but dont noticed any change at chainsaw side....the NDC,Line,Method
all fields are null in both cases.
below is my appender config.
#TEST
#Level=ALL, Facility=USER
log4j.debug=true
log4j.rootLogger=all,Chainsaw1,Chainsaw2,STDOUT,R
log4j.appender.Chainsaw1=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender
log4j.appender.Chainsaw1.remoteHost=localhost
log4j.appender.Chainsaw1.port=4445
log4j.appender.Chainsaw1.locationInfo=true
log4j.appender.Chainsaw1.layout.ConversionPattern=%p: %c - %m
log4j.appender.Chainsaw2=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender
log4j.appender.Chainsaw2.remoteHost=remotehost IP address
log4j.appender.Chainsaw2.port=4445
log4j.appender.Chainsaw2.locationInfo=true
log4j.appender.Chainsaw2.layout.ConversionPattern=%p: %c - %m
log4j.appender.STDOUT=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.STDOUT.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.STDOUT.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
log4j.appender.R.File=${catalina.base}/logs/test1.log
log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=3000KB
log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=5
log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %-5p [%t] %C{2} (%F:%L) - %m%n
4) when I Drag and drop the above XML file again in chainsaw it is
giving me following error,
"Log4jEntityResolver.resolveEntity(null, dummy://log4j.dtd/log4j.dtd)
called"
and the logs are keep increasing with this error.
Please help in solving this problems.
Thanks.
