C# - Logging The Data In Trace.axd To A Text / Xml File?
Jan 19, 2011
In trying to track down a performance issue that is only occurring in our production environment, we have enabled tracing within the app so see method calls and page load times.
This is working well and there is lots of information that helps to track down issues. However, the only way of viewing this information is to browse to the Trace.axd and then view each request individually.
It is also only possible to track the first X requests in this way and X has a maximum limit of 10,000.
Is there a way to direct this trace information to a file or database? I believe this can be done using System.Diagnostics, however, I am not having much luck.
This results in an xml file containing the timestamps and data for the trace items such as "Begin Load", "End Load", etc.
However, it only seems to log a single request and does not log all requests. In addition, whilst the load times are useful, ideally I would like to have available all of the information that can be seen in the Trace.axd, such as request data, post data, session data, etc.
Is this possible at all without any major code changes? Ideally I would like to enable this using only web.config changes.
Alternatively, I have looked into other applications such as RedGate and Equatec's profiling tools, however, I would like to exhaust the non invasive tracing options first.
If I run the application locally using the ASP.Net web server or local IIS I get all my log files. Once the application has been deployed to IIS 7 I only get the System.ServiceModel log. I have verified that the directory exists and I have given full control to everybody. I also have restarted the services and the site in an attempt to force the logs to flush. I have just been trying anything to get a log out of this thing so I also installed the Tracing and Logging Tools role services. I still don't get my application logs.
I also tried an implementation where I logged to the EventLog instead of trace log files. This also exhibited the same behavior. Worked locally and when deployed to local IIS but not when deployed to the actual server. I logged to the application log and on my IIS7 machine I gave full control permission to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetserviceseventlogApplication.
Seems like I must be missing something here. I can't get any information out of these 2 different logging implementations when deployed within IIS 7. I'm not even sure what is common here. Do EventLog.WriteEntry and Trace.TraceEvent both use WCF?
I need to take the information that would normally be displayed on the page for Trace and write that to a file. I have the IO part down, but need to know the method to pull the trace information and put it into a string.
I'm debugging some unexpected behavior and while tracing in to the .NET framework I see a bunch of stuff like this:
if (Logging.On) { Logging.PrintInfo(Logging.Web, this, SR.GetString(SR.net_log_n_certs_after_filtering, filteredCerts.Count)); ... }
But (as expected by default) the execution steps right over these. Is there some way to turn on the logging? Or is that just something that the framework developers can do while making special builds of the framework?
I am trying to redirect my trace output to a text file.
For this I tried to add a textwritertracelistener object to Trace.Listeners.Add but I can't see Listeners Class in Trace.ie When I put Trace. the Listeners class is not popup. Also I am unable to add System.Diagnostics.TraceListener namespace to the page.
I'm using .net web config to create trace listener for debug and trace output in a .NET web app.
The problem is that if left, the log file, which always uses the same name can get massive and has actually caused me some application issues today.
I can't find a method on the net of setting a log file size limit, or a method of using a dynamic name, such as one that uses a date string as part of the name. Does anyone know if this is possible?
I want to log errors with System.Diagnostics.TraceSource and wonder which Listener I could use and how to configure it so that it logs to Log Files in a specified directory. A new log file should be created when the log reaches a specific size.Is there an exisiting listener that does this? Or something that comes close? know logging to Windows Event Log is best practice, but I cannot easily access the log on the server, so using files I can download through FTP seem to be the best solution.
I spent a day trying to make Ent Lib Logging work and log anything into database or event log. I have a web application and console application with the same Ent Lib config but only the console application is capable to log into the Event Log. I tried everything with permissions but I don't know what exactly I am doing — which services should have what. It does not work!
I read articles like this[URL] and I want to try to give the ASPNET account those permissions. I am using Windows 7 and I cannot find ASPNET user account. So where is it?
This is the config file which is automatically generated from Ent Lib utility and it works only on App.config, not on web.config:
I think my subject line explains my problem in a nutshell.. I have a login page, I login like I should and everything works.I logout and when I type/paste the address to the page, in the address field, I still reach it just like if I was still logged in..The page I type in the address field is in a subfolder, only suppose to be able to be reached by logged in users and in this folder,ith it's own web.config-file:
I have a SQL trace I run on a database which I would like to be able to monitor more easily. How can I access a trace in real time with an ASP.NET page?
Currently we are saving files (PDF, DOC) into the database as BLOB fields. I would like to be able to retrieve the raw text of the file to be able to manipulate it for hit-highlighting and other functions.Does anyone know of a simple way to either parse out the files and save the raw text on save, either via SQL or .net code. I have found that Adobe has a filtdump utility that will convert the PDF to text. Filtdump seems to be a command line tool, and i don't see a way to use a file stream. And what would the extractor be for Office documents and other file types?-or-Is there a way to pull out the raw text from the SQL Full text index, without using 3rd party filters?Note i am trying to build a .net & MSSql solution without having to use a third party tool such as Lucene
I want to know how do you extract values (after the equals sign "=") from a txt file like this, then put the values into a table residing in a database.
channel num = 0 channel State = Active Working mode = Active Startup Key = 123456 DTMF = 0118374683 CallerID = 123456 Call direction = Outgoing call Call Started = 2009/12/22 12:38:45 Call Ended = 2009/12/22 12:38:58 Call Duration = 00:00:12.5000000
i am having a issue i.e i am saving my files in a folder. Now i am having 2 files such as one.txt and two.txt now i would like add the content that was in the two.text to one.text .
I want to read a text file and separate the data and write it back to another text file. So the input file content is like 07090000079011110225000 00001000100010118832 032111050111205011110501111022500000FL .... I know that first 3 characters are for CompanyID, next 2 are for Symbol etc. How Can I put it together? I used to write in VB code like this below using a Type and define the width there.(easy to maintain) How can I do that in VB.Net or c#?
[Code]....
So the output will be like CompanyID : 070 Symbol :90 .
i have done a small code like if i enter some value in my text box i will pop up a new form corresponding to the value entered i will take the values from the pop up form and click on save and i am redirecting to the previous page and will click on save now i would like to save the data along with the data that is entered in the pop up form
Ex : My first form is like
Name ABC
Address XYZ
Value 3 Here when i enter 3 i will get a pop up if i click on save it will take input 3 times from the user. That data should be carried to the prev form and wiil fill the remaining values in that form and click on save
We are writing a portal and like every portal we store html data in Db fro Modules. So I thought that I can cache each module in files. I use OnLoad event to check if there is a cache file for this Module, use that and else create cache file:
if (!IsPostBack) { string Path = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "CacheModules" + ModuleId + ".dat"; if (File.Exists(Path)) { Controls.Clear();
[Code]....
what do you think? retrieving data from file can slow server more than retrieving data from DB?
I have an input type, so a text box which has a browse button next to it. When it is clicked, the file that is selected has it's full path placed into the text box.
Where is the event! Now that I have the path to the file in the textbox of the input type, I want to load each line of this file into a textbox that is able to handle multiline text. I don't want the file to be uploaded to the website. I just want to contents of the file read and placed in a textbox all with one click on the browse button.
