When I start ChainSaw (using a simple Receiver on port 4445)

I see its: properties

active  false
class   class org.apache.log4j.net.SocketReceiver
connectedSocketDetails  []
listener    
loggerRepository    org.apache.log4j.Hierarchy@1c3dc66
name    SocketReceiver
paused  false
port    4445
threshold   TRACE

Probably I cannot see my logs due to the fact that Socket Receiver is inactive. How could I change it? If you are experienced in using Chainsaw could you also check if my log4j.properties are ok?

log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, server

log4j.appender.server=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender
log4j.appender.server.Port=4445
log4j.appender.server.RemoteHost=localhost
log4j.appender.server.ReconnectionDelay=10000

    Are you using the Web Start version of Chainsaw? We are going to be releasing an updated of Chainsaw soon, with a lot of new features – would you mind downloading the developer snapshot and giving that a try? It’s not yet available via Web Start.

    When Chainsaw starts you should be prompted with a (new) configuration dialog where you can ask it to set up a socket receiver and provide the port, and tell it to always use this configuration.

    Here’s the link to the developer snapshot:
