How to view logs on my remote server from my chainsaw running on local
In my log4j.properties
Define a socket application sending messages to the chainsaw
log4j.appender.Chainsaw=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender
log4j.appender.Chainsaw.remoteHost=localhost
log4j.appender.Chainsaw.port=29678
log4j.appender.Chainsaw.locationInfo=true
log4j.appender.Chainsaw.Threshold=INFO
I run chainaw.bat and define a socket listener listening on port 29678 and wola. I see logs from my local on a chainsaw.
But when I deploy my application to our remote server
#Define a socket appender that sends messages to the chainsaw
log4j.appender.Chainsaw=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender
log4j.appender.Chainsaw.remoteHost=vlslcsdbx04.regence.com
log4j.appender.Chainsaw.port=29678
log4j.appender.Chainsaw.locationInfo=true
log4j.appender.Chainsaw.Threshold=INFO
and also define and sockethubreciever with host vlslcsdbx04.regence.com and port 29678, Chainsaw doesn't seem to want to connect.
How do I view logs from my remote server using a chainsaw on my local machine?

You have to use SocketHubAppender in the remote remote server log4j config file with Chainsaw SocketHubReceiver entry so Chainsaw can connect to the remote server.
Also, I would suggest trying out the latest developer snapshot of Chainsaw - available here - lots of new features / fixes:
