log4net-configuration

I started to play with log4net today and so far, I really like it. In order to preserve our current logging functionality, the app needs to create a new log file whenever the application is started. The log file name has the date and time stamp encoded in it. Currently, I've got log4net configured via an XmlConfigurator , which works great, except that the filename for my RollingFileAppender is hardcoded in the configuration XML file. I'd like to continue to use the XmlConfigurator , but after calling Configure() , I want to get at the RollingFileAppender and, in code, change its file value to

Is it possible to change the name of a logfile for a fileappender while the application is running? It will be done a few times / day. I'll try to elaborate myself a bit more: my app writes firmware on a device. All the devices the user already worked on, are in a grid. The user can start a new writing-wizard or can resume or restart the action on an already started device. What I would like to do is keep a log of all the steps performed by the user for a certain device. For example: when the user works on device AB0124, I want to write to a logfile called AB0124.log. When he ends working on

I'm using log4net in my ASP.NET MVC3 project, but all logging properties such as IsDebugEnabled == false In my AssemblyInfo I have: [assembly: XmlConfigurator(Watch = true)] In my log class I have public Log4NetLogger() { log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(); Logger = LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType); } My related config stuff in Web.Config is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!-- For more information on how to configure your ASP.NET application, please visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=152368 --> <configuration>

Here's my appender configuration from my app.config. This just prints out the literal string instead of translating it to the date (i.e., it literally prints "[START: %date{MM/dd/yy HH:mm} ]"). <appender name="RollingLogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender"> <file value="C:\somelog" /> <appendToFile value="true" /> <rollingStyle value="Date" /> <datePattern value="-yyyy-MM-dd'.txt'" /> <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"> <header value="[START: %date{MM/dd/yy HH:mm} ] " /> <conversionPattern value="%date{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} - %message" /> <footer value="[END] "

So I am trying to set up Log4Net in my Web .NET 4.0 application. I have added the correct .dll to my project and have appended the following to my Web.Config file as starters: <configSections> <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net"/> <root> <level value="DEBUG" /> <appender-ref ref="RollingLogFileAppender" /> </root> </configSections> <log4net debug="true"> <appender name="RollingLogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender"> <file value="C:\\TestProj\\TestLog.txt" /> <appendToFile value="true" /> <rollingStyle value="Size" />

How to create the log file in appData folder. The path is C:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Roaming\Project\My Project\Application. As soon as my project starts, the project folder is created on this path where this path is hard coded. How can I add my log file in this folder using log4net? I have made changes in the config file <?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <configSections> <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net"/> </configSections> <log4net> <appender name="Console" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender"> <layout type="log4net.Layout

I want to implement logging function into a class library, which is itself referenced in a webservice. I tried to add app.config and did everything needed, but it seems that when an exception is thrown, log4net simply does nothing. my app.config <configSections> <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net"/> </configSections> <log4net> <appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender"> <file value="D:\\mylogfile.txt" /> <appendToFile value="true" /> <rollingStyle value="Size" /> <maxSizeRollBackups value="5" />
