problem in configure Log4j with chainsaw

[mohammed abu]

Hello Friends,

I am new Log4j. I have done configuration for Log4j in log4j.properties. This is working fine. But I don�t know how to configure Log4j with chainsaw.
Following configuration has done for Log4j in log4j.properties.


[I]

log4j.rootLogger=INFO, stdout, R1      log4j.category.com.deemsys.elearn.arch.infraservice.impl.Log4jInsRecordHandler=info, R2
 
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
# Pattern to output the caller's file name and line number.
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p [%t] (%F:%L) - %m%n
 
log4j.appender.R1=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.R1.File=C:/Workspaces/xxxx/logs.txt
log4j.appender.R1.MaxFileSize=2048KB
# Keep one backup file
log4j.appender.R1.MaxBackupIndex=2
log4j.appender.R1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.R1.layout.ConversionPattern=%p %t %c - %m%n
 
log4j.appender.R2=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.R2.File=C:/Workspaces/xxxxx/Instrumentationlogs.txt
log4j.appender.R2.MaxFileSize=2048KB
# Keep one backup file
log4j.appender.R2.MaxBackupIndex=2
log4j.appender.R2.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.R2.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %-5p - %m%n

My question is
How to configure the Log4j with chainsaw?
Is there any .jar file I need to add for this configuration?
How to run chainsaw?

So could some one help me to solve my problem?

Regards,

Hello Chris Boldon,

Thanks for your reply. I have added the code that you have sent in log4j.properties file. Now my question is how to view the chainsaw�s log information? Many of forums that suggested and asked to run following command in CMD

java -Dchainsaw.port=4445 com.puppycrawl.tools.chainsaw.Main.

After run that command I get CHAINSAW �Log4jLogViewer GUI screen.

Here after what I need to do? Is there any log file I need to give as input? I am getting clear document about chainsaw.
So please help me solve this problem.

Regards,
Sidiq

I seem to remember (not quite sure) that you need to start up the Chainsaw GUI before starting the process that sends the logging data. Otherwise the logger will try to connect to Chainsaw, fail at it, and never try again (i.e., you won't see anay info in the GUI).
