Log4Net configuring log level

Tags:

log4net

How do I make Log4net only log Info level logs? Is that even possible? Can you only set a threshold?

This is what I have, and it logs Info and above as I would expect. Is there anything i can do to make it only log info?

<logger name="BrokerCollection.Model.XmlDocumentCreationTask">   <appender-ref ref="SubmissionAppender"/>   <level value="Info" /> </logger>

What is level value in log4net?

log4net offers the following log levels, in increasing order of priority: ALL, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL, OFF. The ALL level logs everything and the OFF level logs nothing. You can assign these log levels to each logger in your configuration file.

Is log4net structured logging?

log4net doesn't support the concept of structured logging. Like shown in the conversionPattern element in the XML configuration, you have some variables to play with when writing to the storage. But including properties like FirstName in the Serilog example isn't available.

The log4net configuration can be configured using assembly-level attributes rather than specified programmatically. If specified, this is the filename of the configuration file to use with the XmlConfigurator. This file path is relative to the application base directory (AppDomain. CurrentDomain.

Use threshold.

For example:

   <appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">         <threshold value="WARN"/>         <param name="File" value="File.log" />         <param name="AppendToFile" value="true" />         <param name="RollingStyle" value="Size" />         <param name="MaxSizeRollBackups" value="10" />         <param name="MaximumFileSize" value="1024KB" />         <param name="StaticLogFileName" value="true" />         <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">             <param name="Header" value="[Server startup]&#13;&#10;" />             <param name="Footer" value="[Server shutdown]&#13;&#10;" />             <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %m%n" />         </layout>     </appender>     <appender name="EventLogAppender" type="log4net.Appender.EventLogAppender" >         <threshold value="ERROR"/>         <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">             <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread]- %message%newline" />         </layout>     </appender>     <appender name="ConsoleAppender" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender">         <threshold value="INFO"/>         <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">             <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d [%thread] %m%n" />         </layout>     </appender> 

In this example all INFO and above are sent to Console, all WARN are sent to file and ERRORs are sent to the Event-Log.

Within the definition of the appender, I believe you can do something like this:

<appender name="AdoNetAppender" type="log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppender">     <filter type="log4net.Filter.LevelRangeFilter">         <param name="LevelMin" value="INFO"/>         <param name="LevelMax" value="INFO"/>     </filter>     ... </appender>
