Is there anyway to programmably flush the buffer in log4net

Hi I'm using log4net with AdoNetAppender. It's seems that the AdoNetAppender has a Flush method. Is there anyway I can call that from my code? I'm trying to create an admin page to view all the entries in the database log, and I will like to setup log4net with bufferSize=100 (or more), then I want the administrator to be able to clic...

When using wrapper, how to preserve class and method name for Log4Net to log?

I need a Log4net wrapper - to be exposed to a number of different components in a large app. I obviously want to retain the class and method name when logging but I would keep away of passing down type etc to my wrapper. I had a look at this question which is very similar to mine, but it didn't help. I've seen it done in this other qu...

Do you know of a log4net appender which rolls on date, but let's you limit the total number of files?

Hi, I need to define an appender for log4net in a way that I get one log file for each day, but the total number of files are limited to, let's say, 30. That is I want to keep only the logs not older then 30 days, delete the older ones. I've tried doing it with RollingFileAppender, but it seems that specifying a limit of files to keep...

Accessing Elmah.axd with SqlErrorLog in SharePoint without adding user to db

I have installed/configured Elmah on my personal SharePoint dev environment and everything works great since I'm logged in as admin, etc. I am using the MS Sql Server Error Log. (I am also using log4net to handle DEBUG/INFO/etc level logging and log statements are also stored in the db, in the same table as ELMAH's.) However, on the a...

log4net process id information

I am trying to create a logging solution that involves multiple processes on multiple machines. I planned on using the UDPAppender to send all log messages to a single machine that would manage them. I have a few questions about patternstrings vs patternlayouts. Because I need to know both which machine and which process that log messag...

Why might log4net entries go "missing" in some listeners.

This one really has me scratching my head.... I have been using log4net (currently version 1.2.10) in an application for some time. While adding a new option to the application, I noticed that even though the log4net Debug, Error, etc. methods were getting called items from that log source were not being seen by the console appender. H...

How to configure the ILoggerFactory in log4net correctly?

Background I wanted some properties to be available in the logging events for certain loggers. After doing some research on the subject I came up with the following possible solutions: Writing my own wrappers and using them instead of log4net.ILog and log4net.LogManager. Subclassing log4net.Appenders.ForwardingAppender. Implement an l...

Can't get NHibernate and Log4Net to generates logging.

I can't get any logging of NHibernate or my application. I tried EVERYTHING that I could think about, but nothing work!

log4net: Is there an easy way to use HTTP POST to send error logs to a URI?

I'm pretty new to Log4Net (I used log4j), and I'm wondering the best strategy for sending error logs (on Error or Fatal Error) to a URI. The server's already set up and listening. I was going to risk re-inventing the wheel and extend the AppenderSkeleton class to create a POSTAppender. Is there any easier way to do it? ...

log4net :comparing adonetappender and rollingfileappender

I am trying to see which one of these appenders would perform better (the shorter the time, the better). RollingFileAppender or ADONetAppender? What are the other parameters I should consider when choosing an appender ? I saw that my WebServer "holds on" to the rollingfile. Can I set something like <lockingModel type="log4net.Append...

NUnit and Log4Net integration: asserting based on the log

Hi, This is my first question on stack overflow. I haven't had much luck finding an answer via google or stackoverflow. I'm interested in having an nunit test examine the log4net for a specific entry in the log and assert based on the results of that search. Based on an unrelated post I read re: log4net, I think I can probably use Me...

Log4Net & RollingFileAppender to generate Xml files

I've managed to configure Log4Net with a RollingFileAppender in order to generate Xml files. However, the generated files are not valid XML files until a "roll" is performed - the XML doesn't have a closing XML tag. Basically, this prevents to files from being read until that are "closed"/"rolled". Anyone else encountered this issue? ...

log4net: Error on loading custom appender

I extended AppenderSkeleton to create a custom appender called HTTPAppender, but something is up with the reference to it in the xml file. Log4Net is clearly unable to find my custom appender. Is there a way to reference it from the xml file to point to my project, or would I have to add my custom appender's source code to log4net's so i...

Dynamically setting a log4net property using common.logging

Does anyone know if there is an equivalent in Common.Logging (for .Net) to set properties for the log4net factory adapter? I have had great success when just using log4net by doing: <appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender"> <file type="log4net.Util.PatternString" value="logs\Log_%property{BrokerID}....

Log4Net Logging Exceptions

Hi guys I know I can log exceptions to the database using Log4Net, but I want to break up what it stores for an exception into different columns. Does anyone know if this is available, if anyone has done this or is it just easier to log exceptions to the database manually? Cheers Anthony UPDATE: If it helps maybe use the followin...

Is there a built-in logging framework in .NET?

Simple question: see title. I'm using .NET 3.5. Elaboration: I'm building a plugin that will be loaded into a 3rd party application at runtime. The main application uses log4net as its logging framework. However, it doesn't expose the root logger so we're unable to log. (I've raised this issue with the upstream developers and they'll b...

Is Log4net threadContext safe to use with WCF hosted in IIS?

I've read in a few places that the log4net threadContext isn't safe to use in an asp.net scenario.
