Caveat: I haven’t actually used log4net. But if I understand correctly, the configuration is an XML file, isn’t it? And the pattern is just text with some special tokens. So have you tried embedding actual tab characters in your pattern? The XML sequence for a tab is 	, e.g.: <conversionPattern value=”%utcdate	[%thread]	%-5level	%logger	%message%newline” /> Or if you’re … Read more
You can add any properties you want to the GlobalContext. I use this context to store the process id, like this: log4net.GlobalContext.Properties[“pid”] = Process.GetCurrentProcess().Id; Then you reference this property from your appender using a regular pattern, like this: <layout type=”log4net.Layout.PatternLayout”> <conversionPattern value=”%date %property{pid} %level %logger – %message%newline” /> </layout> You can add as many properties … Read more
You should use SmtpAppender <appender name=”SmtpAppender” type=”log4net.Appender.SmtpAppender”> <to value=”[email protected]” /> <from value=”[email protected]” /> <subject value=”test logging message” /> <smtpHost value=”SMTPServer.example.com” /> <bufferSize value=”512″ /> <lossy value=”true” /> <evaluator type=”log4net.Core.LevelEvaluator”> <threshold value=”WARN”/> </evaluator> <layout type=”log4net.Layout.PatternLayout”> <conversionPattern value=”%newline%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%property{NDC}] – %message%newline%newline%newline” /> </layout> </appender> <logger name=”ErrorLogger”> <level value=”Error” /> <appender-ref ref=”FileAppender” /> </logger> <logger … Read more
I also have trouble with this method of boostrapping log4net. The documentation says you have to make a call very early in your application startup if you use configuration attributes you must invoke log4net to allow it to read the attributes. A simple call to LogManager.GetLogger will cause the attributes on the calling assembly to … Read more
You should use RollingFileAppender with rollingStyle Date and datePattern yyyyMMdd (this will roll every day). Example of configuration: <appender name=”FileAppender” type=”log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender”> <file value=”c:/paypal/logs/gateway.log” /> <appendToFile value=”true” /> <rollingStyle value=”Date” /> <datePattern value=”yyyyMMdd” /> <layout type=”log4net.Layout.PatternLayout”> <conversionPattern value=”%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%property{NDC}] – %message%newline” /> </layout> </appender> UPDATE: I think a better way is to include … Read more
All async methods are rewritten into a state machine to satisfy potential await values within the method. The final method in which the code lives is the MoveNext method which is what log4net is reporting. There is really no good way at runtime to transition from MoveNext to the actual method in which the code … Read more
What about the %M and %C variables? http://logging.apache.org/log4net/log4net-1.2.11/release/sdk/log4net.Layout.PatternLayout.html Usage, something like: <layout type=”log4net.Layout.PatternLayout”> <conversionPattern value=”%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%M %C] – %message%newline” /> </layout> Doesn’t that do what you are after?
We just use this: <param name=”File” value=”${ALLUSERSPROFILE}/Company/Product/Logs/error.log”/> It works great. This line can simply be inserted into your current appender configuration: <appender name=”RollingFileAppender” type=”log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender”> <param name=”File” value=”${ALLUSERSPROFILE}/Company/Product/Logs/error.log”/> </appender>
Be aware that the changes are much different when using the AdoNetAppender. In that case, you need to change the parameter settings: <parameter> <parameterName value=”@log_date” /> <dbType value=”DateTime” /> <layout type=”log4net.Layout.RawUtcTimeStampLayout” /> <!–<layout type=”log4net.Layout.RawTimeStampLayout” />–> </parameter> This change will now write the correct UTC value for the logDate field.
