I am using Common.Logging.Log4Net.Universal for writting logs in xml format, so that I can read it using YALV! However, I can not see the logs are getting generated for this. I have used this technique for normal log4net library and works without any issues. Here is the relevant configuration in my 'web.config' file:
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="common">
<section name="logging" type="Common.Logging.ConfigurationSectionHandler, Common.Logging" />
</sectionGroup>
<section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net"/>
</configSections>
<common>
<logging>
<factoryAdapter type="Common.Logging.Log4Net.Universal.Log4NetFactoryAdapter, Common.Logging.Log4Net.Universal" >
<arg key="configType" value="FILE"/>
<arg key="configFile" value="~/log4net.config" />
</factoryAdapter>
</logging>
</common>
And here goes my 'log4net.config' file:
<configuration>
<log4net>
<appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
<file value="C://Logs//mylogfile.xml" type="log4net.Util.PatternString"/>
<appendToFile value="true" />
<lockingModel type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender+MinimalLock" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.XmlLayoutSchemaLog4j">
<locationInfo value="true"/>
</layout>
<filter type="log4net.Filter.LevelRangeFilter">
<levelMin value="INFO" />
<levelMax value="FATAL" />
</filter>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="ALL"/>
<appender-ref ref="FileAppender"/>
</root>
</log4net>
</configuration>
Now below is the code for actually generating the logs:
[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(Watch = true)]
namespace MyNamespace
{
public class HomeController : Controller
{
private static readonly ILog Log = new Log4NetFactoryAdapter().GetLogger(MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);
public ActionResult Index()
{
Log.Error(m=>m("My First Logs"));
return View();
}
}
}
Upon executing, code execute without any error, however the above mentioned "mylogfile.xml" never gets generated.
Please advice, in case somebody have tried the same.
