when I remove all the logs from current view, I dont see any more logs coming to the console, even though the logs file is getting the new logs messages constantly This issue is seen quite frequently. I am running Chainsaw in Mac 10.6 which hosts VirtualBox 4.0.4( port forwarding) with Centos 5.4 image in which my JBOSS is running and generating logs in server.log file Chainsaw is getting these logs through Socket Appender MAC Host's /etc/hosts file contains lots of aliases for localhost/127.0.0.1 entries To resume receiving the logs I have to restart Virtual Box every time this happens.
