Hi,
I'm in awe of log4net, nice one! :) One of the reasons I digg this utility is because I discovered yesterday that we can monitor logging remotely via UDP. I configured a UDP appender for our app and I'm watching production for one of the users on my machine. Neat.
Right now I'm running with an evaluation version of log4view. I like the colour (ah the simple things in life) and I like the udp support. However its going to expire in the future and I have limited functionality. Can anybody tell me a completely free equivalent. Again, the colour is important.I don't think the log4net from apache supports colour. sounds silly but our 3rd party dlls spew an awful lot of stuff out and I need to see it all... can't filter out certain level messages.
thanks much and have a nice day
Graham

You can receive UDP events generated by log4net using log4j's Chainsaw.
You can also search, colorize, sort and filter events with Chainsaw.
You do need to change your log4net configuration to specify the log4j schema layout, and specify a UDPReceiver on the Chainsaw side.

Hi Graham,
nice to hear that you like Log4View!
You are right, the trial edition of Log4View runs out after 30 days. However Log4View continues working as Community Edition. The sole limitation of the Community Edition is the limit to one receiver. All other functionality is not affected.
Kind regards

Ah thanks so much Ulrich. I actually prefer it to be honest, a simple matter of look and feel, etc etc.
Graham
