combo2_log.config

This example shows how to log to multiple appenders:

• Log everything to a rolling log file
• For one particular user, log to a different rolling log file

Sample Configuration:

<log4net>

   <appender name="RollingFileAppenderUser" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender" >
      <param name="File" value="C:\TEMP\fcflnet_user.log" />
      <param name="AppendToFile" value="true" />
      <param name="RollingStyle" value="Size" />
      <param name="MaxSizeRollBackups" value="100" />
      <param name="MaximumFileSize" value="1024KB" />
      <param name="StaticLogFileName" value="true" />
      
      <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
         <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d [user: %X{user}] [fcsessionid: %X{session}] [%-5p] [%c]%n	%m%n%n" />
      </layout>
      
      <!-- Only show entries for a particular user -->
      <filter type="log4net.Filter.MDCFilter">
         <param name="StringToMatch" value="user_name_goes_here"/>
         <param name="Key" value="user"/>
      </filter>

      <filter type="log4net.Filter.DenyAllFilter" />
     
   </appender>
   
   <appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender" >
      <param name="File" value="C:\TEMP\fcflnet.log" />
      <param name="AppendToFile" value="true" />
      <param name="RollingStyle" value="Size" />
      <param name="MaxSizeRollBackups" value="100" />
      <param name="MaximumFileSize" value="1024KB" />
      <param name="StaticLogFileName" value="true" />
      
      <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
         <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d [user: %X{user}] [fcsessionid: %X{session}] [%-5p] [%c]%n	%m%n%n" />
      </layout>
   
   </appender>
   
   <root>
      <level value="all" />			
      <appender-ref ref="RollingFileAppender" />
      <appender-ref ref="RollingFileAppenderUser" />
   </root>
      
</log4net>
