HI, I am developing a ASP.NET App and I want to add elmah. The problem I have is the the users login to the site and the only way I found to secure elmah is to authenticate users, not a specific user. I am using ASP.NET MVC 2 and NET 4. Any Ideas? ...
Is ELMAH a good tool for general logging (Read: Audit logging)? ...
I am experimenting with the relationship between Elmah and MVC's plumbed in exception handling, and am surprised at the outcome of the following code. This is a brand new, straight from project template MVC application, and I have only added Elmah modules and handlers to the web.config. And of the course the 'throw': [HandleError] pub...
OK, apparently related questions dont seem to address this directly. An exception reaches Elmah, maybe a repository cant reach a database, but then neither can Elmah reach that database. Even if they target different servers, maybe its a network problem. Is there a way to configure fallback logs for Elmah for cases like this, e.g. a t...
I noticed recently that ELMAH has support for exporting details of an exception via JSON and XML. Out of sheer curiosity, why would anyone use this? If I was storing my data in a SQL DB, why not retrieve the value from there? Additionally, the errors are stored in a pseudo xml format already... why export something that's already in x...
I am trying in design a watertight exception handling strategy for an MVC application in which we use Elmah for logging unhandled exceptions. I would like some critique on some of my thoughts. All application exceptions should be handled in the controller layer. Any unhandled exception below that layer should be the result of a reque...
When the HandleError attribute on a controller detects an unhandled exception and redirects to the Error view, I would like to provide the user with a brief description of the error, and an option to email the error to the application administrator. I do have a custom HandleError that notifies Elmah to log the error, but having to look ...
There used to be an article at ELMAHs docs site that contained this information, but it seems to have been removed. I think it's as simple as setting a configuration setting in the section, but I haven't a clue what it is Can anyone take a few seconds and drop the configuration setting here? ...
I realise this would require some sort of custom ErrorMailModule, but where do I start, if I can even do this? ...
I've implemented a wrapper method around Elmah's Error Signaling, where a raised exception is only seen by Elmah for logging and mailing, but now I'd like to filter only these signalled exceptions out of the mailing, but still log them. How can I do this? This is my simple wrapper: public void LogException(Exception exception) ...
Hi, Does anyone know if there is a patch or anything kicking around for ELMAH that will extend its logging capabilities to include variables and/or session variables. Sometimes the errors i am logging are hard to trace without a bit more info. If there is nothing i might have a go at altering myself Cheers Luke ...
Hi there, Does anyone know if the latest build (march 2010 - i beleive called log4postsharp 2.0) is compatible with postsharp 2.0 community edition? I have used postsharp 1.5 together the log4postsharp in the past and was very pleased with the outcome. But log4postsharp seems to be dead, is this true? SHould i concentrate more on ELM...
On my ASP.NET 4.0 MVC project running in IIS 7 I have set up and configured ELMAH to log errors on my site. However, I am unable to get any reporting on errors with code 500. I set up a simple controller that creates a divide-by-zero exception, but ELMAH does not log it. I can get ELMAH to log other messages just fine and I am not filt...
Hi all, I'm wanting to secure ELMAH in an internet facing application. The system uses Forms Authentication, but doesn't currently have any non-user accounts (e.g. Admins). The user accounts are set up in an automated fashion. I don't really want to shoehorn any admin accounts into the system (the current DB schema for the users would ...
I've got the code below up and running. It captures the user name and the browser that was used to access an intranet site. How can I modify the code so that ELMAH logs a specific StatusCode to the ELMAH_Error table in SQLServer? The eventual goal is the ability to extract out of the log these specific log entries to identify which PC's ...
Hi, I'm building an ASP.net mvc app, and am having some problems getting ELMAH deployed using xml logging to a medium trust server, though it works fine on my local machine. It keeps getting a 404 error. The problem might be that the host doesn't allow relative filepaths, so the "~/App_Data" doesn't work for logging. I switched tha...
Since Twitter won't use basic authentication (login, password) anymore, I'm converting my app to using twitter with oauth authentication. In my code this was ok, but I also use Elmah to tweet the errors on a specific twitter account. But it seems Elmah only works with basic authentication. Is it true? Any workaround? Thanks ...
I enable error log filtering within Elmah and want to do it programmatically in a ErrorLog_Filtering event handler. It works well under Visual Studio dev server but as soon as I go under IIS7 (local on my dev machine or remote on my web server), the handler is not called (error logging works well). Here is my usual web.config: <configu...
I am currently building an ASP MVC 2 site and I am looking at hooking ELMAH in for my error logging however I'm not sure how to handle the different build environments. Both my development machine and current test server are 32-Bit and the production server is 64-bit. I can set the MVC site to deploy in x86 and x64 without any problems ...
I have a page that contains multiple div's. Action on one div changes the content of other div. Each div loads a partial view from controller. For example- a div for "Search" and another div for "SearchResult". "Search" div contains couple of fields and a button. On click of this button a controller method is invoked asynchronously usi...
