Has anyone integrated ELMAH into their SharePoint environment?
I suppose it's possible as it's all ASP.net, but I just wondered if anyone had done it and if there's a walk through on how to achieve it?

How to use ELMAH? Create a new MVC application. On the File menu, click New >> Project. In the New Project dialog box, under Project types, expand "Visual C#", and then click "Web" and in the Name box, type "DemoELMAH".
The easiest way of setting up ELMAH is through NuGet. Run the following command: ... Or add ELMAH by right-clicking on References: Click Install and ELMAH is installed in your project. A lot of configuration has been setup in your web.config, but for now just start your web project.
Unlike other logging frameworks ELMAH will, when configured in its most simple form, log every exception automatically. Sure, there’s an API you can use to log custom errors, but most people only use the automatic part.
ELMAH shows the most important variables in the table, but if you want the full picture, you can click the Details… link at the end of the error message. This will show ELMAH’s details view:
One thing that IS important when setting up ELMAH, or most HTTPModules in Sharepoint is that they need to be at the beginning of the httpModules section. Otherwise SharePoint will essentially swallow the exception and ELMAH functionality will not be invoked

We use ELMAH in our MOSS 2007 environment. Since ELMAH uses HttpHandlers and is set up via the web.config, activating it was a cinch. Just add the ELMAH stuff to the web.config for the application that you're running inside SharePoint.
If you want ELMAH to report errors at a level higher than your custom application, then add it to the SharePoint web.config.
