[log4perl-devel] New Log UI in development

[Scott D. <Sco...@Vi...>]

Hey there Log4Perl folks -=20

I'm a contributor to the Log4J project and I've been working on what I
hope is a cross-language UI for manipulating Log4J (Log4X) generated
events.  The UI is tab based (events which provide a unique application
and source machine pair are routed to a unique tab).  The UI supports
colorized filters, regexps, and a lot more.

The cross-language part is that I've added greater support for reception
of XML-based events over IP (TCP socket, UDP and multicast) and the UI
can import and export logging events saved in XML format to/from disk.

For Log4Perl to use the UI, Log4Perl would need, at a minimum, to create
a file that contains logging events formatted as XML and based on
log4j's latest DTD, or if Log4Perl had a socket appender, the
XML-formatted events could be send via a socket and received by the UI.

If anyone's interested in pursuing this, feel free to email me or
download the latest build of the UI - Chainsaw V2 - in the
jakarta-log4j-sandbox CVS project.

Thanks,

Scott

Scott,

thanks for the reminder, I had forwarded your original message to the
list when I received it, but Kevin and I have been pretty busy lately,
sorry about the delay.

As of now, we don't have a socket appender in Log4perl, but that's one
of the next things on my list and its fairly trivial to implement.
Logging events as XML to a file should also be easy. Do you have
the documentation to your interface online somewhere I can check it out?
