In chainsaw, what logFormat should be set for the given Log message shown below? I am reading for local file

Question

My log message is in following format. Its log4j's log.

Apr 26, 2013 11:43:15 AM org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol init

INFO: Initializing ProtocolHandler ["http-bio-8080"]

Note that the log message is in new line starting from INFO:....

I was try like: TIMESTAMP LOGGER LEVEL: MESSAGE

but its not working properly.

So what value should be set to logFormat property in chainsaw? Please help me. Thanks in advance.

I've added support for log formats whose records span multiple lines - use (LF) in the logFormat where a newline exists in your record format.

I've also updated the developer snapshot of Chainsaw which supports the newline (LF) field - you can download it here: http://people.apache.org/~sdeboy/

When building your Chainsaw LogFilePatternReceiver configuration, use:

Log format:

• TIMESTAMP LOGGER THREAD(LF)LEVEL: MESSAGE

Timestamp format:

• MMM dd, yyyy HH:mm:ss a
