log4net-configuration

I've looked hard for duplicates but have to ask the following, no matter how basic it may seem, to get it clear once and for all! In a fresh Console app using log4net version 1.2.10.0 on VS28KSP1 on 64 bit W7, I have the following code:- using log4net; using log4net.Config; namespace ConsoleApplication1 { class Program { static readonly ILog _log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(Program)); static void Main(string[] args) { _log.Info("Ran"); } } } In my app.config , I have: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <configSections> <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config

I am struggling to write an AND conditional filter in log4net. Had it been nLog, I could have written it this way: <logger name="*" minlevel="Info" xsi:type="NLogLoggerRule" writeTo="FooLogger" > <filters> <when condition="equals('${event-context:item=UserID}', 'TESTUSER') and equals('${event-context:item=URL}','/foo/foobar.aspx')" action="Ignore" /> </filters> </logger> I am not sure how to write the same filter in log4net. I have been so far successful, in writing a single condition: <appender> .... <filter type="log4net.Filter.PropertyFilter"> <key value="URL" /> <stringToMatch value="/foo

I currently have multiple log files in my application using log4net. I have a top level log file which contains every type of message. I also have an error log file which contains only error information. I am trying to configure it so the specific exception details and stack trace only appear in the error log file. The call i am using is Log.Error(myMessage, myException); My config can be seen below: <configuration> <log4net> <root> <level value="ALL"/> <appender-ref ref="GeneralTextLog"/> <appender-ref ref="ErrorTextLog"/> </root> <!-- The general appender rolls by date --> <appender name=

I have the following file Log4net.config in my bin directory: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <log4net xmlns="urn:log4net"> <appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender"> <param name="file" value="MyLogFile.log"/> <param name="appendToFile" value="false"/> <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%date (%logger) [%5level] - %message" /> </layout> </appender> <appender name="ConsoleAppender" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender"> <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%date (

I have configured log4net in my app successfully but one thing is a little bit annoying for me. The log file is created (empty) after my app start even if no error occurs. I would like to log file be created only after some error. I actually found a way to do this in this thread: http://www.l4ndash.com/Log4NetMailArchive/tabid/70/forumid/1/postid/18271/view/topic/Default.aspx I've tested the first method and it works. Just in case that link is not longer good I'll reproduce the code here. Basically the author states that there are two ways of doing this. First way: Create a new locking model
