Hi, No, the serialized event format in logback and log4j are incompatible. So it is not possible for a SocketAppender in logback to send events to Chainsaw. However, I believe chainsaw has been ported to logback by Joern Huxhorn. See [1]. Alternatively, we did a logback plugin for eclipse. See [2].

Hi to all,

I have a simple question about logback. Is the SOCKET appender compatible with old log4j SOCKET appender? Is posible to use Chainsaw or Ganymede eclipse plugin, for example, with an enviroment based on logback and a SOCKET appender configured on it?

Thanks,

Vte. Ferrer
