Try this;

        private void GetLogger()
        {
            if (_log != null) return;

Sincerely,

Ogden Nash  - "The trouble with a kitten is that when it grows up,
it's always a cat." -
http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/o/ogden_nash.html

I have implemented log4net for a windows service, but I get a partial
logging.

Here is the code for my windows service:

private ILog _log;

protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
  GetLogger();
  _log.Info("Starting Services");
  _log.Info("Loading configuration file");
  //Additional code here...
  _log.Info("Service is running...");
}

protected override void OnStop()
{
  GetLogger();
  _log.Info("Stopping Services");
  //Additional code here
  _log.Info("Services Stopped");
}

 private void GetLogger()
 {
   if (_log == null)
   {
     _log = LogManager.GetLogger("MyWindowsServices");
   }
 }

My adapter is:
  <log4net>
    <!-- Levels  (from lowest to highest):  ALL | DEBUG | INFO | WARN |
ERROR | FATAL | OFF | -->
    <root>
      <level value="ALL" />
      <appender-ref ref="RollingFileAppender" />
    </root>

    <logger name="MyWindowsServices">
      <level value="ALL"/>
    </logger>

    <appender name="RollingFileAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
      <file value="My.Windows.Services.log" />
      <appendToFile value="true" />
      <rollingStyle value="Composite" />
      <datePattern value="yyyyMMdd" />
      <maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
      <maximumFileSize value="3MB" />
      <staticLogFileName value="true" />
      <immediateFlush value="true" />
      <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
        <header value="[Session Start]&#13;&#10;"/>
        <footer value="[Session End]&#13;&#10;"/>
        <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger
[%property{NDC}] - %message%newline" />
      </layout>
    </appender>
  </log4net>

The result of my log file contains only the log information from the Start
method of the windows service, but nothing for the stop:
[Session Start]
2009-12-09 10:39:13,986 [4] INFO  MyWindowsServices [(null)] - Starting
Services
2009-12-09 10:39:14,018 [4] INFO  MyWindowsServices [(null)] - Loading
configuration file
2009-12-09 10:39:14,033 [4] INFO  MyWindowsServices [(null)] - Service is
running...
[Session End]

What's wrong?

Thanks for your help!

Hello,
I am using log4net for a web project and would like to make customized mail
subjects my email appender. I already tried something like :

*          <subject type="log4net.Util.PatternString" value="CovCake LOG
INFO : %property{mailsubject}" />*

* public static void MailInfo(string msg, string subjectDetails)*

*            {*
*                log4net.ThreadContext.Properties["mailsubject"] =
subjectDetails;*
*                Log.Mail.Info(msg);*
*                log4net.ThreadContext.Properties.Clear();*
*            }*
*
*
But it renders CovCake LOG INFO : (null).
*
*
Is there a way to customize mail subject natively (i mean without overriding
existing classes or extending the SmtpAppender)?

*T*hank you very much. Sorry for my english.

How do I make it only keep a certain number of files when using the
rollingstyle = date? I've looked on the website and have not been able to
find an example of anything talking about it. This is what I have now:

 

    <appender name="Communications"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">

                <file value="c:/log/register/gis/communications.txt" />

                <appendToFile value="true" />

                 <maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />

<rollingStyle value="Date" />

                 <datePattern value="yyyyMMdd-HHmm" /> 

                <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">

                                <header value="[Header]&#xD;&#xA;" />

                                <footer value="[Footer]&#xD;&#xA;" />

                                <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread]
%-5level %logger (%file:%line) - %message%newline" />

                </layout>

    </appender>

 

It doesn't delete the files when I get to 10.

I am trying to use the compiled dll from the website in a .net 4.0 app and
on build its fails... will play around a bit more and try get screen
shots...

Hello,
I am using log4net for a web project and would like to make customized mail
subjects my email appender. I already tried something like :

*          <subject type="log4net.Util.PatternString" value="CovCake LOG
INFO : %property{mailsubject}" />*

* public static void MailInfo(string msg, string subjectDetails)*

*            {*
*                log4net.ThreadContext.Properties["mailsubject"] =
subjectDetails;*
*                Log.Mail.Info(msg);*
*                log4net.ThreadContext.Properties.Clear();*
*            }*
*
*
But it renders CovCake LOG INFO : (null).
*
*
Is there a way to customize mail subject natively (i mean without overriding
existing classes or extending the SmtpAppender)?
*
*
*Thank you very much. Sorry for my english.*

Best *regards*

Sounds to me like a race-condition in the making. Follow the timeline:

 

User1 Logs in

Set GlobalContext = User1

Configure

Log

 

All is good. But what about:

 

User1 Logs in

Set GlobalContext = User1

User2 Logs in

Set GlobalContext = User2

Configure (from first login)

Log something

Configure (from second login)

Log something else

 

I'll bet both log entries end up in the second file.

Well, Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.

 

At last I got what I wanted. Following were the steps I followed:

 

1. Set the file name dynamically using GlobalContext [you can
ThreadContext as well] property which the user who logged in.

 

2. Load the config file using XmlConfigurator.Configure(ConfigFile).

 

3. Now use GetLogger(type())

This working is perfectly as expected.

Thanks again.

I understand it's not your exact requirement, but what about including
the user name in each message logged, but pushing it into the NDC? We
have a similar requirement to include the client name in our
application, and we use a single log file (per day) but every request
starts with a NDC.Push(ClientID) step. Then it's a trivial job to grep
the log file for the client name. Likewise, when you need to see the log
file for JoeUser you could just grep for JoeUser. 

 

If you need them maintained then you could just split the files after
the fact by user name.

Subject: webapplication logging - one log file per user

 

Hi,

 

Please help me with this query in using log4net.

 

I am using log4net in mhy we application. I am facing issues in
configuring log4net to log errors at user level. 

 

That is, If user X logs in, I like to create file name X and all error
for user X should be written in X.log. Siilarly if Y user logs in the
log file should be in name of Y.log and the most important point to note
is, they could log in concurrently.

 

I tried the luck by creating log files whose name would be framed
dynamically as soon as the user logs in. But issue here, if they are not
using the application at the same time, the log files are creeated with
correct name and writing as expected, but if both users have active
sessions, log file is created only for user who FIRST logged in and
error of second user has been recorded in log file that is created for
FIRST user.

 

Please help me in this.

 

Thanks much.

 

 

No. It has passed my initial test ie., POC. Let me test it thoroughly after
integration and update you.

Raj.

Be careful about using the global context...  In a scenario where you
have two users logged in simultaneously wouldn't you have problems?

Well, Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.

 

At last I got what I wanted. Following were the steps I followed:

 

1. Set the file name dynamically using GlobalContext [you can
ThreadContext as well] property which the user who logged in.

 

2. Load the config file using XmlConfigurator.Configure(ConfigFile).

 

3. Now use GetLogger(type())

This working is perfectly as expected.

I understand it's not your exact requirement, but what about including
the user name in each message logged, but pushing it into the NDC? We
have a similar requirement to include the client name in our
application, and we use a single log file (per day) but every request
starts with a NDC.Push(ClientID) step. Then it's a trivial job to grep
the log file for the client name. Likewise, when you need to see the log
file for JoeUser you could just grep for JoeUser. 

 

If you need them maintained then you could just split the files after
the fact by user name.

if I hv understood it correct, By using log thread context, we should capture each user in
the application.

 A new appender can be added for each user to capture the log.

Hi Raj,

 

surely there wouldnt be a new log created for each user interaction? Wouldnt it be better
for you to just record each interaction on one log?

Does your web app already store this information in a seperate log, or at a different level?
If it does, it may be easy to create a new appender to get the information out of this source
rather than shoehorning it all into log4net.

Hello

  In my company we are using an AsyncAppender for asynchronous logging 
that we have implemented ourselves and we are quite happy with it. From 
the start we had prepared a FixFields property on this appender so that  
user can decide which fields has to be fixed by the appender before  
passing it to nested appenders. The default value for this property is 
Partial.

  I recently try to use it so that most of the logging event formatting 
is done in the logging thread rather than in the thread that generate 
the log event. So I change the FixFields value to ThreadName and 
discovered that it has an impact on the job performed by nested 
appenders. For instance when I log an exception through a 
ConsoleAppender nested in a AsyncAppender I have normally the following 
result:

ERROR Exception raised
System.ApplicationException: FOO
 à AsyncAppenderTest.Program.ThrowException() dans 
C:\Dev\AsyncAppenderTest\AsyncAppenderTest\Program.cs:ligne 69
 à AsyncAppenderTest.Program.Main(String[] args) dans 
C:\Dev\AsyncAppenderTest\AsyncAppenderTest\Program.cs:ligne 40

Once I changed the FixFields to simply ThreadName I had:

ERROR Exception raised

As you can see the log of the exception has disappeared. This is so with 
or without the %exception in the PatternLayout.

  The problem is in the LoggingEvent class. It looks like you cannot 
partially fix a LoggingEvent. Once you fix some fields using the Fix 
property m_cacheUpdatable is set to false and when the LoggingEvent  
reference is pass to the ConsoleAppender which call GetExceptionString 
this method return an empty string because m_cacheUpdatable is false. 
What is m_cacheUpdatable for exactly ? It looks like the intention is to 
avoid the same field to be fixed several time but as all fields default 
value in LoggingEventData is null and is not null anymore once fixed it 
seems enough to avoid the multiple fixes situation. Couldn't be 
LoggingEvent.m_cacheUpdatable simply removed ?

Thanks

Do you want to control how the time is displayed in the log file or fundamentally alter how
log4net tracks time?

If you want to use a custom DateTime.Now to record when the event created you could start
up by defining your own IDateTime:

// untested
public interface IDateTime
{
    DateTime Now { get; }
}

then make it easy to get an instance of IDateTime:

// untested
public class DateTimeProvider : IDateTime
{
    public static readonly DateTimeProvider DateTimeNow = new DateTimeProvider(() => DateTime.Now);
    public static readonly DateTimeProvider DateTimeUtcNow = new DateTimeProvider(() =>
DateTime.UtcNow);

    private Func<DateTime> _dateTimeGetter;

    public DateTimeProvider(Func<DateTime> dateTimeGetter)
    {
        _dateTimeGetter = dateTimeGetter;
    }

    public DateTime Now
    {
        get { return _dateTimeGetter(); }
    }

    public void SetDateTimeFunc(Func<DateTime> dateTimeGetter)
    {
        _dateTimeGetter = dateTimeGetter;
    }
}

then you could tweak how the LoggingEventData object is created:

// untested
class DateTimeProviderLogger : LogImpl
{
    private readonly static Type declaringType = typeof(DateTimeProviderLogger);
    
    private readonly IDateTime dateTimeProvider;

    public DateTimeProviderLogger(ILogger logger, IDateTime dateTimeProvider) : base(logger)
    {
        this.dateTimeProvider = dateTimeProvider;
    }

    public override void Debug(object message)
    {
        Logger.Log(createLoggingEvnet(Level.Debug, message));
    }

    private LoggingEvent createLoggingEvnet(Level level, object message)
    {
        return new LoggingEvent(
            declaringType, 
            Logger.Repository,
            createLoggingEventData(level, message));
    }

    private LoggingEventData createLoggingEventData(Level level, object message)
    {
        return new LoggingEventData
                   {
                       Level = level,
                       LoggerName = Logger.Name,
                       Message = message.ToString(),
                       TimeStamp = dateTimeProvider.Now
                   };
    }
}

The calling code might look something like this:

// untested
public static class LogManager2
{
    public static ILog GetLogger<T>()
    {
        return new DateTimeProviderLogger(LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(T)).Logger, DateTimeProvider.DateTimeNow);
    }
}

// untested
class Program
{
    public static readonly ILog log = LogManager2.GetLogger<Program>();
}

Subject: precise time stamp


Hi, there

I need to log events with precise time stamps (more precise than 15 ms System.DateTime). 

But it seems to be impossible to do it with log4net. 
It is impossible to change default timer neither to implement special appender that will set
precise value to TimeStamp.
The only solution I see is to write precise time to the event message body.

Any ideas, colleagues?

-- 
Sincerely, 
Ayrat Khalimov.

I have never thought about the granularity of the time source being
used, but I have log entries as often as 1 ms apart.

Now that I think about this, why do you believe that your are limited to
15ms resolution.  The documentation for System.DateTime says it uses 100
nanosecond ticks.

I simply place the time stamp in the log entry with the following
conversion pattern
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{dd HH:mm:ss.fff} [%4t]
%P{instance}::%M - %m%n" />

This yields the following entries
20 10:28:12.214 [ServiceThread] GSNT(17)::.ctor - Constructed -
Id/Base/Count/Type:
f4119ba3-ce74-4729-bac9-ccfe5a9b300e/o2203/6/NumericOnly
20 10:28:12.215 [ServiceThread] FCICMSD::.ctor - Constructed OpenId -
Name/VDest/Pool: FCICMSD/FCICMS/GSNT(17)

Since this is a service, I put the day in and then the time.

Hi,
I would like my RollingFileAppender to log the last 10 messages at any level
when there is a message at the error level.

I am trying to use the BufferingForwardingAppender for this purpose, but
can't figure out the right levels/thresholds to have it behave properly. 
Is this even possible? Do I need to have a separate RollingFileAppender 
separate from my main log?
 
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,

In the ASP.NET app I use Application_Error to log unhanded exceptions. I
usually use log.Fatal("bla", exception).
But I want the log to include the information about the request (URL, HTTP
headers, source IP and so on).

So the question is if log4net has out of the box functionality for that with
some kind of renderers or similar?

Or is it the only way to do it is to assemble all the info I want to log
into a string manually and log it?

Cheers,
Dmitriy.

Hi Team,

 

I've a customer issue which is going to address in the version 1.2.11 of
Log4Net.DLL. Is there any tentative release date for the same?

 

Regards, Purna.

 

Perhaps database logging would be better.

I think you can also instruct the logger to try to acquire the lock of the
file and release it as soon as possible.

Anyway, for multiple process logging, a file is not the best way. Maiby an
event log (windows) or syslog (nix) or a network sink might work better.

Hi,

 

I have got a problem with the settings of log4net about multi access on a
file.

My context : I'v got a dll wich log into a trace.log. That dll is used by 2
different programs. When the first create the instance of log4net, the 2nd
one can't write into the trace.log.

I can't find the right settings to do that. The best behavior would be to
create a new file with YYYYMMdd-HH_mm_ss when the instance can't write into
the file.

 

For now, I did, following the config-exemple from the apache site : 

 


        <log4net>

               <root>

                       <level value="ALL" />

                       <appender-ref ref="FileAppender" />

               </root>

               <appender name="FileAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">

                       <file value="E:\\Log\\Trace.log" />

                       <appendToFile value="True" />

                       <rollingStyle value="Date" />

                       <staticLogFileName value="false" />

                       <lockingModel
type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender+MinimalLock " />

                       <datePattern value="yyyyMMdd-HHmm" />

                       <maxSizeRollBackups value="-1" />

                       <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">

                               <conversionPattern value="%date [%-5level] :
%message%newline" />

                       </layout>

               </appender>

               

        </log4net>

 

But I'm having an error with the 2nd instance wich is :
System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type
[log4net.Appender.FileAppender+MinimalLock ]. Tried assembly [log4net,
Version=1.2.10.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1b44e1d426115821] and all
loaded assemblies.

 

Is there a solution to that ? 

 

Thanks.

 

Yep, i did it, it works, but now i'v got an other problem, i can't use an appendFile with the
rolling on size or by date.

Here is what I've done : 

<appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender"> 

                                 <file value="E:\\Log\\ArlSQL_Log\\ArlSql.log" /> 

                                 <lockingModel type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender+MinimalLock"
/> 

                                 <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout" value="%d
[%t] %-5p %c - %m%n" /> 

                </appender>

 

But for example, <maximumFileSize value="1MB" /> isn't usable with a type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">

You're absolutely correct. I didn't think that one through. I was
thinking of the SN signing for the GAC, and not of the Authenticode
requirement. I concur, just build/sign your own version.

You're probably mixing signing the dll for GAC (strong name), and
Authenticode as offered by Verisign and others which Michael asks for.

 

Log4net is distributed as a strong name assembly signed by a key held by
Apache. If you recompile log4net from source and want it strong named,
you'll have to sign it with your own key. Keeping the original Apache
key private allows an end-user to verify the binary has been built from
original apache source (pgp is just an extra insurance).

 

Authenticode works on existing binaries (signtool.exe), and the process
is described here:
https://knowledge.verisign.com/support/code-signing-support/index?page=c
ontent&id=AR190

 

Since the Apache license allows you to change and distribute your own
versions of log4net (with some conditions, see 4. Redistribution at
http://logging.apache.org/log4net/license.html), you should be free to
digitally sign the binaries too.

Unfortunatly not. Maybe you mean the PGP signature but I need a digital
signature for Windows DLLs. For instance Verisign issues such
signatures. I doubt the Apache foundation has such signatures because
they cost money. 

 

If I interpret the Apache license correctly it is okay to sign the DLL
with my own signature but I am not sure.

you'll have to sign it with your own key. Keeping the original Apache
key private allows an end-user to verify the binary has been built from
original apache source (pgp is just an extra insurance).

 

Authenticode works on existing binaries (signtool.exe), and the process
is described here:
https://knowledge.verisign.com/support/code-signing-support/index?page=c
ontent&id=AR190

 

Since the Apache license allows you to change and distribute your own
versions of log4net (with some conditions, see 4. Redistribution at
http://logging.apache.org/log4net/license.html), you should be free to
digitally sign the binaries too.

 

Regards,

Unfortunatly not. Maybe you mean the PGP signature but I need a digital
signature for Windows DLLs. For instance Verisign issues such
signatures. I doubt the Apache foundation has such signatures because
they cost money. 

 

If I interpret the Apache license correctly it is okay to sign the DLL
with my own signature but I am not sure.

But isn't there a signed version of l4n that you can download and use?
Why sign your own?

One prerequisite for Windows certification (for the software) is having
all deployed DLLs digitally signed wheter from the original developer or
the deployer.

I would say yes, it is. But I am not sure as to why you would want to do
this?

Hello,

 

is it allowed to sign the log4net.dll with my own digital signature?

 

Thanks in advance,

Michael
