I was profiling our ASP .NET application to try and reduce the CPU usage and fond some strange behaviour regarding NHibernate and log4net. Over 50% of the time on our app is spent in the log4net GetLogger and CreateRepository methods, which are called from ExecuteReader in NHibernate. The screenshot below is a jetBrains dottrace hotspot...
I'd like to use log4net's RollingAppender to write to isolated storage, but I can't figure out how to configure log4net to do so. To be clear, I'm trying to do this in an installed WPF application so I don't have some of the issues that some of the Silverlight users have already posted. I thought my best chance was to dynamically set t...
I need the ability to log to create new log files and specify the name of the file at runtime using log4net. I am currently using a RollingFileAppender and it logs everything to one file given the name specified in the app.config. How can I explicitly tell log4net to start a new log and to name it accordingly? My Current Config: <log...
I am trying to create a different log file for each thread (the threads are handling some site processing). Essentially just naming the log file with a name that is derived from the site that is being processed. I know all about the GlobalContext.properties and also the TheadContext.properties and neither really seem to work for what I...
I have 3 appenders in my config file for creating 3 different types of logs. I am using dynamic naming of file in each of the 3 appenders by setting the global context properties. In some cases, i need to set the log file name dynamically for just 1 appender. When i set the file name for just 1 appender, it creates another file named "nu...
log4net provides two different "thread context" objects: ThreadContext and LogicalThreadContext, each of which has a property bag, Properties. ThreadContext has a ThreadContextProperties bag while LogicalThreadContext has a LogicalThreadContextProperties bag. ThreadContext is perhaps more commonly known as "MDC". LogicalContext is per...
Here is the problem: I want to add row indexer (row number or iterator) to each row in log file. I don't need it to be unique for the whole log file, but only for the "application session" (i. e. each time Win32 application started, we begin our countdown: 1, 2, 3 and so on) Is where any built-in way (conversionpattern tag syntax) or so...
Currently we use log4net of version 1.2.10.0 and we should start using some 3rd party components developed by other team. Mentioned component references log4net of version 1.2.9.0. All binaries are deployed into one folder. I'm sure that we cannot rebuild our sources with 1.2.9.0 version, because there are too many other dependencies ...
I have a security tool that sends users their new password through email. The production email module (that I don’t own and don’t want to change) will log the entire html email message body using Log4Net when the threshold is VERBOSE. Since the email contains a domain user’s password in clear text, I would like to remove the password fro...
Hey I have this configuration in my web.config <log4net> <appender name="LogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender"> <param name="File" value="mylog.log" /> <param name="AppendToFile" value="true" /> <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"> <param name="Header" value="" /> <param name="Footer" ...
How can I specify a layout and conversionPattern for the resulting emails subject? The BufferSize will need to be less than or equal to 1 so no buffering will occur. ...
Hi. I got some test console application with log4net and AdoNetAppender. When I launch application I have log4net debug info in console(log4net:ERROR [AdoNetAppender] Could not open database connection) I initialize AdoNetAppender ConnectionString via code. When I set <log4net debug="false"> it doesn't help. I check log4net.Util.LogLo...
I want to use NHibernate in my project, and it comes with log4net by default. In my opinion, it would be a wiser choice to go for Nlog as it still gets updates, log4net on the other hand is completely outdated. Is there a best choice because I don't really believe in using outdated technologies in my application. On the other hand, it'...
Hi I have just begun working on a C# application (using log4net). I'm supposed to add logs to code written by someone else. Hence, it's not possible for me to understand well the context each time (too much code, too less time :) ). I have been following a convention which seems quite crude. I display log level, datetime, class name, m...
Dear ladies and sirs. My need is simple - I want to be able to open my text log file in excel, so that it automatically breaks it in columns matching the log fields. For that, I need the log fields separated with a tab. My pattern is: %utcdate [%thread] %-5level %logger - %message%newline I need something like: %utcdate%tab[%thread]%...
Hello, is it possible to change the way Appenders are initialized? I'd like to pass arguments to a custom appender's constructor so I guess I have to override Appenders' initialization mechanism. Problem is that I can't find, in the docs, a way to hook it up, and it makes me think that it's not possible (or that the docs are incomplete)...
I'm working on a ASP.NET MVC application. In my solution, I have some projects: Domain - class library, my DAL. Reference NHibernation etc, but not log4net. WebUI - ASP.NET MVC project, references log4net. Does NOT reference NHibernate (hence the DAL project) In my web.config, I have configured log4net this way: ...
Is it possible to create a log4net custom PatternLayoutConverter that allows an "index" value to be configured? I know about the "property" conversion string that allows you to write code like this: ThreadContext.Properties["ID"] = yourID; And specify like this: %property{ID} That the value should be included in the output. What...
I have the following file Log4net.config in my bin directory: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <log4net xmlns="urn:log4net"> <appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender"> <param name="file" value="MyLogFile.log"/> <param name="appendToFile" value="false"/> <layout type="log4net.La...
Hello, I have written a program with C#, that creates a logfile and fills this by using log4net. This program starts powershell-scripts. The scripts should use log4net, too. I want to monitor what the scripts log to log4net while they are running and write this information in my logfile. Have you an idea how I do this or where I get in...
