RussianBy Design Log4Net is
fail-stop, we mean that log4net will not throw unexpected exceptions at run-time potentially causing your application to crash
So it is very difficult to figure out what is causing the issue .
How do I enable log4net internal debugging?
FROM FAQ - http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/faq.html
- Internal debugging can also be enabled by setting a value in the application's configuration file (not the log4net configuration file, unless the log4net config data is embedded in the application's config file). The log4net.Internal.Debug application setting must be set to the value true. For example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <appSettings> <add key="log4net.Internal.Debug" value="true"/> </appSettings> </configuration>
This setting is read immediately on startup an will cause all internal debugging messages to be emitted.
- . To enable log4net's internal debug programmatically you need to set the log4net.Util.LogLog.InternalDebugging property to true. Obviously the sooner this is set the more debug will be produced.
So here is a custom class i created for log4Net - because config file was very confusing I created this helper class
- you can initiate as many appender you need across the applications so if one dll call other dll both can initiate appenders and both appends will work.
- also you can close the appender and ( as in case of file appender) then send it as a email
