We have a couple of long lived objects each of the same class in the system. There are only about 5 or 6 and they are connections to outside systems. I want each of those instances to have their own file that they can log to.
What is the best way to do this? I can only see adding loggers programatically as the answer right now.
UPDATE: I want to avoid using the configuration file because if I add a new connection to a different remote host then i want its log output to go to file named after the connection without having to first hack around in a config file. It would be nice if it was done automagically. I don't know maybe this can be achieved in a config file once off and that you don't need to edit it everytime.

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.
Log4net has three main components: loggers, appenders and layouts. These three types of components work together to enable developers to log messages according to message type and level, and to control at runtime how these messages are formatted and where they are reported.
Log4net is a logging utility for . NET applications. It's based on log4j, which is for Java applications. Log4net is highly configurable, so you can use it in many scenarios.
The best answer IS programatical logging, i went through the same problem and found it as the only solution.
For more help check this question (mine) StackOverFlow Question posted by me
and i thing yours and my problem are the same, dynamic loggers, re create loggers, dispose loggers and all that stuff at runtime :)
if any more questions, do ask, will be glad to help since i have gone through all that :)
