Which log utility is good for .NET application in C# (ASP.NET, WinForms)? [closed]

Answer 1

I've used Logstash (https://www.elastic.co/products/logstash) & this is pretty good & open source.

Answer 2

elmah is the best. elmah rocks!

Answer 3

Enterprise Library is the only formal edition I have experience with, and our team found it too cumbersome and lacking in versatility for prime-time. You can safely avoid it and would likely end up better off coding your own solution instead.

I haven't had the opportunity to use either Log4Net or Elmah.

Answer 4

log4net for Windows Forms, log4net and ELMAH for ASP.NET.

ELMAH and log4net have different purposes. ELMAH captures data regarding unhandled exceptions whereas log4net provides a logging framework at configurable levels (INFO, WARN, DEBUG, FATAL). log4net requires that you actively write logging statements in your code; ELMAH works automatically once properly configured.
