In this thread many people have indicated that they use log4net. I am a fan of TraceSources and would like to know why log4net is used. Here is why I like trace sources: Pluggable listeners - XML, TextFile, Console, EventLog, roll your own Customisable trace switches (error, warning, info, verbose, start, end, custom) Customisable co...
I was trying to add the date to my log file name and I was able to make it work by following the few suggestions I've found in stackoverflow. Everything works fine but for some reason, the first file always has the date appended twice. For example, instead of log.2009-02-23.log, I get log.2009-02-23.log.2009-02-23.log. I found it so weir...
In my current project I'm using two libraries where one is using log4net and the other NLog for its logging. I'm personally prefer NLog so it is used in my application as well. I'm not knowing much about log4net so I'm asking what would be the best way to programmatically forward all the messages from log4net to NLog. There is a post a...
Does anyone have any suggestions for a Gui for editing the log4net config files. We have people in the field who need to be able to increase, decrease, or specialize logging but don't have the background to mess in the XML. ...
I'm working on configuring a RollingFileAppender in log4net programmatically. I have something like this currently: RollingFileAppender fa = new RollingFileAppender(); fa.AppendToFile = true; fa.RollingStyle = RollingFileAppender.RollingMode.Date; fa.DatePattern = "yyyyMMdd"; fa.StaticLogFileName = true; // Set more properties and add t...
Hi, I want my logfile to look something like this: 2009-02-13.log but the problem is that I can't seem to find any way to add the .log extension. I've tried a lot of things but nothing helps. This is what I have this far: <appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender"> <file value="Logs/Log4Net/...
I am using log4net 1.2.10.0. I have extended ILog and LogManager to include a new level, 'AUDIT'. I want to use an AdoNetAppender to log the %message to a database. I need other information logged and I tried using log4net.ThreadContext.Properties. I get no output when I try to use a context property as a value for a SQL parameter. <lo...
This is my log4net config file <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <log4net debug="true"> <appender name="ConsoleAppender" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender" > <filter type="log4net.Filter.LevelRangeFilter"> <acceptOnMatch value="true" /> <levelMin value="DEBUG" /> <levelMax value="FATAL" /> </f...
I am setting up an SMPTAppender to email log files when there is an error in production code. There are some machines, such as test machines that are local, where I don't want the email sent. I tried to use the environment variable COMPUTERNAME in a propertyfilter, but this didn't work: <filter type="log4net.Filter.PropertyFilter"> ...
Hi guys, I'm working with Log4Net under my 3.5 SP1 Web Project and I need to know how can I (reads Log4Net) create the log file as a xml file instead text, line by line... I'm thinking that can be a easy thing, but... I can't find the trick to apply :( Thanks. ...
I am using Log4net for a while now and it's an amazing logging framework, especially when hooked into Castle.Windsor. However... I usually use the rolling file appender, but this has resulted in too many log files than I actually want, so instead, for my latest project, have used the basic LogFileAppender instead, but the problem is th...
I have a project I am working on using log4net, and it works great, but I want to know if i can override the XML configuration for the root "level" attribute for the logging when in debug and release. Currently my root configuration looks like: <root> <level value="WARN"/> <appender-ref ref="LogFileAppender"/> <appender-ref ref="...
I was curious how the following line works for configuring log4net in an assembly: [assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(Watch=true)] I'm guessing this gets called sometime before the runtime invokes "main()" but when does this occur, and what are the implications? Are there other frameworks/libraries that use this assembly attri...
Is there a way to set the log level in log4net programmatically? I'd assumed that there would be a property that would let you do this, but I can't seem to find one. What I want to do is have a configurable option to enter debug mode. which would cause extra logging. I'm using a separate log4net configuration xml file. At the moment th...
I have a program that makes many log4net calls to the "myprogram" loggers. It also calls other code that makes log4net calls to other loggers. I want to capture all logs higher than INFO for "myprogram" and all logs higher than WARN for everything else. This way, I get the work-in-progress messages specific to the task I'm working on, bu...
I'm looking at a fresh asp.net site in 3.5 that has absolutely no error handling or logging. What are some good options for logging and handling errors? I've used Log4Net on the 1.1 framework but hear there are potentially better options in 3.5. ...
Hi all: We are trying to integrate NHibernate as our OR/M, however, we are currently using Enterprise Library's logging application block. I know that NHibernate uses log4net to log. Does anyone have any example on how to use Enterprise Library to log NHibernate related logs? Thanks ...
I need a path I could specify in log4net file appender so that the log files would go there. However, aspnet or whatever account does not have write privileges to %APPDATA% folder. Is there any place I can write to without asking customer admins to give extra access privileges? Path.GetTempFile() is probably not a good idea. I need some...
It seems that Log4Net silently shuts down for reasons that are not obvious, and I'm at a loss how to troubleshoot it. My hunch is that a particular appender is failing on a specific log message and that seems to shut down the whole stack. Is there a way to get Log4Net to throw an exeception (at least during our debug phase) rather than...
Why do most log4net examples get the logger for a class by doing this: private static ILog logger = LogManager.GetLogger( System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType); Rather than just passing typeof(MyClass): private static ILog logger = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(MyClass)); Is there any other reason fo...
