Maximum Filesize of LogFileAppender in Log4Net

Question

I am using Log4net for a while now and it\'s an amazing logging framework, especially when hooked into Castle.Windsor. However...

I usually use the rolling file app

Answer 1

The LogFileAppender does not support limiting the output file size (at least in the references I can find). To limit the file size, use a RollingFileAppender and roll on Size and set the file size limit.

To limit the number of roll over files use the MaxSizeRollBackups attribute
