Hi,

I am running jboss 4.0.1 on solaris 8. Want to use chainsaw to view jboss logs from my laptop.

Please brief me the steps involved in doing this.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

After finding how to use Chainsaw, thought posting the steps might be be useful for others.

It was possible with SocketHubAppender and SocketHubReceiver.
I haved added the following configuration section for SocketHubAppender in ${JBOSS_HOME}/server/default/conf/log4j.xml. Also I have configured the root category for SocketHubAppender.

<!-- ============================= -->
<!-- Append messages to the socket -->
<!-- ============================= -->

.

<appender-ref ref="SOCKET"/>
<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
<appender-ref ref="FILE"/>


We can now configure a SocketHubReceiver in Chainsaw on our laptop to connect to the Jboss logs running on some unix server on port 8888.

Sorry... I don't know how to post the XML in message body.

[sysuser1]

use code tags like [ c o d e ] <your xml> [ / c o d e] so it will look like

<your xml>

I used spaces so that you can see the text... you can preview your posting before submitting
