Apache Chainsaw v2 Build 2006-03-02

Apache Chainsaw v2 Build 2006-03-02 is designed to be a creative and helpful companion application to Log4j written by members of the Log4j development community. Like a number of Open Source projects, this new version was built upon inspirations, ideas and creations of others. Chainsaw v2 has it's roots from the original Chainsaw utility written by Oliver Burn, and with inspiration from the Log Factor 5 utility contributed by ThoughtWorks Inc.Major Features: View remote events - Remote events are "received" by Chainsaw using Log4j 1.3's new Receiver concept.Saved Preferences - You can fully customize each Tab the way you want it, and it will restore it's state the next time.Responsive - When events are screaming in, you don't want the GUI to meltdown. You can control how responsive the GUI is and determine the frequency of updates.Tabs/Docking - Chainsaw routes separate applications/remote hosts' events to a unique Tab within the GUI. These tabs can be undocked from the main window. Using these features you can manage multiple application logs using the one GUI.Coloring - You can specify your own rules to color each event row depending on the attributes of a LoggingEvent to help you locate important events.Dynamic and powerful filtering - Helps you locate stuff. There's support for quick-and-dirty filtering, right through to advanced expression-based filtering (e.g. "LOGGER == 'com.mycompany' && LEVEL == ERROR" ).Cyclic - A tab view can support a Cyclic-based model, which constrains it's view to the last X events, ensuring you don't hog memory. This is great for monitoring live applications.Built-in documentation and tutorial - HTML-based documentation included in the package.
