Hi All,
I have a two part question:
I recently installed Chainsaw version 2 and configured it
with a UDPReciever to capture and display log4net messages. My Chainsaw
receiver configuration looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"
?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM
"log4j.dtd">
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/"
debug="true">
<plugin name="UDPReceiver" class="org.apache.log4j.net.UDPReceiver">
<param name="Port"
value="8080" />
</plugin>
</log4j:configuration>
And my log4Net receiver looks like this:
<appender name="UdpAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.UdpAppender">
<localPort value="80" />
<remoteAddress value="127.0.0.1"
/>
<remotePort value="8080" />
<layout
type="log4net.Layout.XmlLayoutSchemaLog4j">
<locationInfo
value="true" />
</layout>
</appender>
Provided I keep the remoteAddress set to the loopback “127.0.0.1”,
I can view the logging information via Chainsaw on my local machine. When I configure
the UdpAppender on another machine on the same local network (no firewalls up) to
point to my IP for the remoteAddress, I never get anything in Chainsaw. I checked
with a packet sniffer and see no UDP packets being sent via the remote
machine. Am I correct to assume that the UDPAppender should be able to send UDP
packets to another IP?
The second question is more oriented to Chainsaw version 2 –
How do you create a tab for your receiver output to go to? I see a “Create
Custom _expression_” option in the UI and it brings up a dialog for a “Tab
_expression_”, whatever is entered here creates a tab but the receiver
output always goes to the chainsaw log tab.. Not sure how one would tell the
Receiver to display in the new tab..
Thanks in advance,
