| <h2>Receivers</h2> |
| <p>Log4j has a concept of a 'Receiver', an object that receives events |
| from some source, and deposits them into the Log4j framework in the local JVM. |
| It is useful to think of Log4j's engine as a 'bus' much like the PCI bus in a computer, |
| with events being the data placed on the bus.</p> |
| |
| <p>Chainsaw integrates itself with Log4j using this Receiver concept, allowing |
| you to receive events from, say, a remote location, and view them within the |
| Chainsaw GUI.</p> |
| |
| <p>Receivers are the complimentary 'sibling' if you will of Log4j Appenders. |
| Appenders take an event from the Log4j bus, and output them to some location. |
| A Receiver is just the opposite, it takes an external event and |
| places it in the local Log4j bus. A Receiver can be a 'sink' for event |
| data, while the Appender is the 'source'. |
