I have an application on another computer in the network that uses Log4cxx. There I have defined an appender that tries to connect to my computer on port 4561 and then sends log entries (syslog or custom log format). This works if I use a general TCP listener e.g. YAT (Yet Another Terminal).
Documentation says to the TCP Listener: LogViewPlus processes TCP logs by connecting to a remote server.... So the "TCP Listener" is actually not a listener it's more a client connecting to the server?
It looks like this person want exactly what I want but failed: https://www.logviewplus.com/forum/2095/Trouble-using-the-real-time-TCP-logging-feature
I think he misunderstood that too.
Or I'm wrong? If not, is it possible to add this function in a future update? I really like the software!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
I can confirm that the TCP Listener is actually using a TCP client internally. I can see where this is causing confusion and I think you are absolutely right that:
1. The name is confusing.
2. We need to support both sides of the connection (client and server).
I will take a look at this as a priority for the next release. I will post back here as soon as a BETA release is ready.
Thanks again,
Toby

thanks for the super quick clarification.
That would be great!

Is there a rough time frame until the function is available?

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
This feature has been implemented, but it is tied up with some other work. Hopefully, we will have a BETA release out early next week.

Great. I will be happy to test

We've now released LogViewPlus v3.1.12 as a BETA release. This release removes the old TCP Listener in favour of two new types of data source: TCP Client and TCP Server.
Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. If you are able to do any testing, I would appreciate any feedback.
Hope that helps,
Toby
