Just like there is a command to flush IIS7 logs:
netsh http flush logbuffer
I'm wondering is there a similar command to flush WCF trace log on demand.
One way is to do an IIS reset, but this is only really an option when debugging on a developmnet box.
Setting the autoflush="true"
in your .config
file ensures that the trace sources flush to disk after each trace.
The following is a sample configuration file with autoflush="true"
:
<configuration>
<system.diagnostics>
<sources>
<source name="System.ServiceModel" switchValue="Warning, ActivityTracing"
propagateActivity="true">
<listeners>
<add name="xml" type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="e2eTraceTest.xml" />
</listeners>
</source>
</sources>
<trace autoflush="true" />
</system.diagnostics>
</configuration>
In addition, if by any chance you are willing to store your WCF trace in a database, you might want to check out this post:
This would allow you to view your WCF trace in real-time, without flushing it.
