Is it possible to read the log file using Chainsaw?


I am having several log files [ generated via log4j ]. I got to know that we can use Chainsaw to read those logs [ though we can reads those logs in notepad as well ].
But i am unable to figure out how to open a stored log file to see its content. So the simple question is, Is it possible to read the log file using Chainsaw?


Solution

  • I'm using Chainsaw v2 Log Viewer on Windows.

    In the File menu there is an option 'Load Log4j file', which will allow you to open a Log4j XML log file.

    Of course, the file you are trying to open must confirm to the log4j XML schema.
