Writing large Strings (> 4000Byte) to Oracle database

BushTacker — 2008-07-24T12:04:44

How can I write large text strings (larger then 4000Byte) to a log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppender. Up to 4000Byte it works fine with the dbType:String. But how can I write larger Strings. (Mostly used for writing stack trace to a database) Can I do it over a CLOB? ... ... ...

FW: AdoNetAppender: can not read custom properties from LoggingEvent using configuration file

Andrei Leca — 2008-07-23T12:06:04

I used a extended log using example: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/logging/log4net/trunk/extensions/net/1.0/log4ne t.Ext.EventID/cs/src/EventIDLogImpl.cs?view=co . I have properties InstanceId that is setted in extended log: LoggingEvent loggingEvent = new LoggingEvent(ThisDeclaringType, Logger.Repository, Logger.Name, Level.Info, message, exc); loggingEvent.Properties["InstanceId"] = logData.DCSInstanceId; Logger.Log(loggingEvent); I received error: [6108] log4net:ERROR XmlHierarchyConfigurator: Cannot find Property [conversionPattern] to set object on [log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppenderParameter] Where it is the problem? Do you can help me? The logs works correctly if uses other appender: "log4net.Appender.OutputDebugStringAppender" I used log4net 1.2.10.0(windows) with following configuration for log4net:

Re: how to configure a "deny stringmatch filter"

Alexander Wolff — 2008-07-21T18:27:30

I tried but... To be concrete, which I need is not to record in the log file (Im using FileAppender in this case) messages which contain string "ORA-00001" Then I tried with the following filter: But..errors messages with "ORA-00001" are logged :( Peculiarly, with the following filter: Only messages that contain the string "ORA-00001" are logged (OK, it's the behavior that I would hope) And with the following filter: No message is recorded in log (OK, it's the behavior that I would hope) Some Idea? 2008/7/20 Daniel Williams gmail.com>:

I believe this will work: If not this exactly, then search for acceptOnMatch and see what the right settings are. Cheers, Daniel Williams On Sat, Jul 19, 2008 at 10:55 PM, Alexander Wolff concepto.com.uy> wrote:

Alexander Wolff — 2008-07-20T04:55:55

the following filter: Look for the substring 'database' in the message text of the event, in the case that text is found the filter is ACCEPTED and the message is logged. OK I want to configure a filter that DENY the substring 'database' (don't log the message) how can I configure that? thanks in advance, Alexander Wolff

This is a wild guess, but could it be related to changed security rights and permissions to the location of the log files relative to the Windows account that the program is running under?

As you can see I have set up a size based rolling over. Recently, this seems to have broken. I turned on internal debugging and got this error, log4net:ERROR RollingFileAppenderOutput stream for appender named [LogFileAppender] has been closed. Rolling over is no longer happening and logging is off until I manually roll the file over. Also, the count direction (although not set in the config) is less than 0 as I see the last rolled over file having the highest number. Any thoughts? Thanks Srini

RE: XML configuration, windows service

Rennie Petersen — 2008-07-17T14:00:34

Two suggestions: 1. The right way: In your service's admin program (I'm assuming it has one?) include support for cranking logging up and down using a drop-down box on the GUI, and sending the info to the service program which modifies the XML config file. This requires support in the admin program and the service program, but makes things very user-friendly - the customer does not even need to copy a settings file, they just crank logging up, wait a while, crank logging down and send you the log file. 2. A possible quick-and-dirty solution: Send your customers two XML config files, one to start logging and one to stop it. Rennie

XML configuration, windows service

Aleš Vojáček — 2008-07-17T12:11:17

Hi all, I'm using [assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFileExtension = "conflog", Watch = true)] in AssemblyInfo.cs Almost everything works fine. When I started service without config file there is no problem, simply service does not generate log. Then I add config file into service directory, again everything works fine, it starts logging. If I change config file then the configuration change and again everything is ok. But when I delete config file then service still loging, I hoped that it stops logging. How to do that, I know that it can be done using change config file instead of deleting it, but I need some more simple solution, because it wil be used by our customers which has no knowledge about editing files. I hoped that I will send them config file, which they simply copy into app directory, then they send me log file back and then delete config file. All without restarting service. Can you someone help me with that? A.

AdoNetAppender.ActivateOptions not using correct connection string?

Daniel Williams — 2008-07-10T17:05:24

I am using an adonetappender. THe appender is defined an a separate config file, and I use assembly attributes to load it. In my code, early on, I get the appender and set its connection string. But when I call ActivateOptions, I get an error - it seems the appender is trying to use the old, dummy, connection string that I defined in the config file. This is not what it should do. Any ideas? Is it not possible to set the connection string at runtime? I saw posts explaining how to to exactly this, and no one mentioend this issue. Cheers, Daniel

Re: Must declare a logger in the exe?

Piers Williams — 2008-07-04T03:54:31

You need to make a logging call in the exe too (or at least define a logger, as you say): "It is necessary that the first call to LogManager.GetLogger made during the process (or AppDomain) is made from the assembly that has the configuration attributes" http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/faq.html#When%20should%20I%20log%20my%20first%20message? 2008/7/2 Daniel Williams gmail.com>:

Must declare a logger in the exe?

Daniel Williams — 2008-07-01T23:40:48

I have a dll that I recently put log4net logging into. It is called by many different executables. So I wanted to find out what is the minimum I must do so that an exe will cause the logging to happen in the dll. Add reference to log4net Add [assembly:log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile="log4net.config", Watch=true)] to the exe's assemblyInfo.cs That should be it, right? We've referenced the dll, and called configure using the assembly attribute. However, this does not cause my dll to log. I find that only if I declare a logger in the exe, only then will the logging in my dll start. Does this make sense? Am I missing something? I would like to know the very minimum of code changes required to get logging to work. Cheers, Daniel

EventLog Appender on Win2k3 with ASP.net

Pattenaude, Jerry — 2008-07-01T16:20:47

I haven't seen this addressed, so here's my problem and solution for anyone that may be interested. I developed an app on XP and all my logs would make it into the EventLog without any issues. I was using a new Eventlog "mylog" and the application name is "myapp". I knew that I had to create the log and source because asp.net didn't have rights to create the new log. System.Diagnostics.EventLog.CreateEventSource("myapp", "mylog"); This worked and everything was good. Then I went to Win2k3 where registry security has been locked down, and my log messages no longer showed up. After a day of searching I finally found http://www.jameskovacs.com/blog/CommentView.aspx?guid=cd6e5f6e-7107-48bc -8563-f5669706fcdc which had the solution to my problem. I needed to go to the registry and modify the CustomSD value under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\mylog\ I had to add (A;;0x3;;;AU) to the end since I was using a non default user to run my asp.net app. Now my log messages are showing up under Win3k2.

Message encoding

Yann Luppo — 2008-06-27T22:49:55

Hi everyone, I have a remoting appender in place, but it looks like the encoding of the message isn't unicode or at least it doesn't support the equivalent of (char)172 because that special characters gets all weird on the server side. Is there anyway to set which encoding the logger/appender are using, specially in the case of remoting. Thanks, Yann

Default PatternLayout date format is not ISO8601

Eric Chamberlain — 2008-06-27T22:33:41

I could find no FAQ on this so I am reporting this here. Everyone repeats that %date{ISO8601} will produce ISO8601 format for dates. Beyond that, the documentation says that the default form of the %date in PatternLayout is ISO8601. This appears to be wrong based on the statement of the ISO8601 standard at http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime. An example should illustrate the difference easily. Sample output of %date{ISO8601}: 2008-06-27 15:24:27,421 But if the above elements (down to the fractional second) are to be displayed, the ISO8601 standard says it should be (assuming Pacific Time in this sample) 2008-06-27T15:24:27.421-07:00 The ISO8601 correct format is *possible* in log4net, of course, but it is not the default. I don't know whether this is a bug in log4net or whether the documentation is just out of date or what. I will leave that for others to sort out but there is a mismatch between the documentation and the behavior.

Parsing a log generated by a RollingFileAppender with LINQ to XML

José (bluemail — 2008-06-27T22:03:10

Hello, This post is not directly related to log4net. However, I have a parsing issue with one of the generated log file. I'm currently trying to parse (with LINQ to XML) a log file generated by a RollingFileAppender. It has the format as shown at the end of this post (XML fragment, undeclared namespace). I tried to load it using the XElement.Load() method. However, it throws an exception telling me that the "log4j" namespace is undeclared. Has anyone already tried to load such a file using linq? Thanks for any feedback! José completed registering new logger for category AFCLOGGING completed registering new logger for category InternalLog .....
