I just came across the two sections in log4net configiurations:
<logger name="File">
<level value="All" />
</logger>
<root>
<level value="INFO" />
</root>
May I know what is the differnce of specifying levels at logger and root tags ?
I have a service layer with a logger class
Service layer references DAL for Logger class to get its email credentials to use while sending email for critical log items.
I want to use this logger inside the DAL since there is stuff that needs to be logged there also - but with my current architecture I cannot.
I see this could somewhat be handled via IOC but my concern with that is if that way I will be addressing the root of the problem, or hiding it using another layer of abstraction.
I ran into the following issue when trying to run a test website on IIS 7.5 (Windows Server 2008 R2 DatacenterEdition). The web-app is configured to run with framework version 3.5 in a .Net 2.0 app pool. Also the framework 4.0 beta 2 is installed on the server. The application named 'TestPfade' is located under the website's root named 'Default'. It is not only a virtual directory but defined as an application. The folder structure looks like this: The markup of the sole document reads as follows:
[Code]....
When viewed in a browser the image gets shown because the given relative path is correctly resolved to 'images/Lighthouse.jpg' but the paths to the ajax-framework resources also include the application's root folder and therefor aren't found: 'src="/TestPfade/WebResource.axd?d=1bX...' Here is the complete html-source generated:

I am using iis 5.1 in which we have only only one default website, I have two projects v2 and v3 my website points to v2 projects and have some folders images, styles etc now i have a virtual directory under this website that is hosting project v3 and having the same folder hierarchy as v2 in the home page of the both projects i have img src="imagesedlogo.gif" alt="logo"/> but this shows the same image that is in the v2 directory, How can i show different images for both projects. using "" get the root of the web site but how can i get the root of virtual directory under that website

I am thinking that I will add an error page (error.aspx) and in global.asax ,application_onError, I will redirecting the user to error page and that should be enough ! i mean it will handle error automatically.

View 1 Replieswe are currently implementing logging functionality with Log4net into our ASP.NET web-services. Therefore we have installed Log4net into the GAC (global assembly cache) on every machine. On our Windows 2003 servers this works just fine.Funny thing is, when developing on our local clients, logging with Log4net doesn't work unless we copy the log4net.dll into the Bin folder of the ASP.NET website even though it is already installed in the GAC. This behaviour is for my colleague's machine and me and we just can't find the reason why. The application is identically like on the server and we installed Log4net the same way into the GAC but it behaves differently.We've tested it with the VS2008 integrated web-server as well as with IIS (WinXP).

How do I need to log this error to my database table? what do I need to write in my Class? to store the values in the table
We have an application that logs using log4net. But we would like to delete the logfiles every 4 weeks (automatically). Is there an option in log4net to do this or do we need to have a work arround?
this is my configuration

I currently write all log4net events to a database, and it seems to work just fine. To capture the logged in user account I use this piece of code:
HttpContext context = HttpContext.Current;
if (context != null && context.User != null && context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
MDC.Set("user", HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name);
}
The code seems ok, except for events that have no user context associated with them (ie. a user on our public web page). In that case the log4net capture seems to sometime write the last logged in user account (bad) and sometime write a null (good). Anyone got this feature to work reliably in all cases? I believe I saw a note that MDC is no longer a recommended feature to use, but I wasn't able to find any alternatives that are recommended.
Note: I find it odd that MDC is set with an account name, but never cleared if no user is active. That could be part of the problem. However, I didn't find any MDC code extracts that also clear the username.
I'm using log4net to log my web app's progress, using Log4PostSharp to AOP-injectify all methods. This has the desired effect of logging (almost) everything and is fine.I now have a requirement to log JUST Page_Load methods to a file / console. I can obviously hamstring the log4postsharp class to do that, but then I'd be losing all the other logging.I've been looking at filters in log4net, starting with the StringMatch filter, but that only looks at the message being logged, and I'm after the method name. This put me onto the PropertyFilter, but still with no joy. My log4net.config snippet is thus:

How to log MethodName when wrapping Log4net?
I have tons of requests in log4net that show up manually as ": activity". The requests are all manually built and somewhat clumsy. Is there any way for Log4Net to pick up the source function and record that automatically?
I am currently following instructions in a book to develop an application. It asks me to download StructureMap and then move the StructureMap.Dll file and the Log4Net.dll into the bin files. The problem is there doesnt seem to be a Log4Net.dll file in the StructureMap files, the only other dll apart from the StructureMap.dll is the Rhino.Mock.dll.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to get log4net working in a 'classic' webforms app, using a log4net XML configuration file that I know is correct, as it is a copy of a file I use successfully with a number of other applications. I have the config.log4net file in the main site folder (C:inetpubwwwroot), and I configure log4net in Global.asax.cs as follows:
protected void Application_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var log = LogManager.GetLogger("SomeWebsite");
XmlConfigurator.Configure(new FileInfo("config.log4net"));
// bind log to the DI container
...
}
Whenever I then use the log instance (even within Application_Start) nothing happens, not even an error. I know that if config.log4net is misconfigured, log4net will silently fail, but I am sure that this isn't the problem. I have a feeling it has to do with FileInfo's base path being wrong.

View 1 Replieswe have bridged our log4net with Jira using SMTP.
Now we are worried that since the site is public what could happen to the Jira server if we get alot of issues in the production environment.
We have already filtered on Critical and Fatal, but we want to see either some acumulator service on log4net or a plain filter which identifies repeating issues and prevents them from being sent via Email. Preferably without having to change the error reporting code, so a config solution would be best.
Is is possible to configure FileAppender in log4net to add new entries at the beginning of log file? Currently it is adding entries at the end and reading newest entries requires scrolling whole log down. It would be more comfortable to read from the beginning.
