We have a situation where the server is in Germany and we're based in the UK. We want the log4net logs to show a timestamp that is GMT, but I can't work out how or if it's possible to add an hour to the time being written to the log file.
This is our current config:
<log4net>
<root>
<level value="DEBUG" />
<appender-ref ref="LogFileAppender" />
</root>
<appender name="LogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<lockingModel type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender+MinimalLock" />
<file value="logs\\" />
<datePattern value="dd.MM.yyyy'.log'" />
<staticLogFileName value="false" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<rollingStyle value="Composite" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="50" />
<maximumFileSize value="5MB" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{yyyy-dd-MM HH:mm:ss.fff} %-5level - %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
I found some references online to an "hourOffset", but this doesn't seem to work and never appears in the log4net documentation.
Any advise here would be welcome.
Use utcdate instead of d (or date). See also the documentation.
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%utcdate{yyyy-dd-MM HH:mm:ss.fff} %-5level - %message%newline" />
</layout>

I am not interested in printing logs to console, only to file.
my current Log4j2.xml configuration doesn't support this unless I am configuring 'level=" OFF"' but then it doesn't write to both, file and console.
how do I configure the logger to write only to file?
already tried to comment out the tag and to comment out the "appenderRef" tag inside the "Logger" tag
the log4j2.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Configuration>
<Appenders>
<RollingFile name="vertx_file" append="true"

<Root level="INFO">
<AppenderRef ref="vertx_socket" />
<!--<AppenderRef ref="STDOUT" />-->
<AppenderRef ref="vertx_file" />
</Root>
</Loggers>
</Configuration>
the log:
Apr 03, 2019 2:02:35 PM com.service.vertex.dao.UsersCollection

still printing to console
Comment the below in the config and try
<Console name="STDOUT" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
<!-- <LogStashJSONLayout/> -->
<PatternLayout pattern="%d{ISO8601} %-5p %c:%L - %m%n" />
</Console>
and the appenders
<AppenderRef ref="STDOUT" />
I need to print each level logs in a seperate file. For example, Debug msg alone should print in debug file and not other level logs should print in debug file..
I am new to logs , so can you correct the code.

There are at least 2 different ways you could achieve what you want. One way is to use the LevelRangeFilter (see log4j2 javadoc) as shown in the following example configuration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="WARN">
<Properties>
<Property name="LOG_PATTERN">%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n</Property>
</Properties>
<Appenders>
<File name="TraceFile" fileName="logs/Trace.log" immediateFlush="true"
append="true">
<PatternLayout pattern="${LOG_PATTERN}" />
<LevelRangeFilter minLevel="TRACE" maxLevel="TRACE" onMatch="ACCEPT" onMismatch="DENY"/>
</File>
<File name="DebugFile" fileName="logs/Debug.log" immediateFlush="true"
append="true">
<PatternLayout pattern="${LOG_PATTERN}" />
<LevelRangeFilter minLevel="DEBUG" maxLevel="DEBUG" onMatch="ACCEPT" onMismatch="DENY"/>
</File>
<File name="InfoFile" fileName="logs/Info.log" immediateFlush="true"
append="true">
<PatternLayout pattern="${LOG_PATTERN}" />
<LevelRangeFilter minLevel="INFO" maxLevel="INFO" onMatch="ACCEPT" onMismatch="DENY"/>
</File>
<File name="WarnFile" fileName="logs/Warn.log" immediateFlush="true"
append="true">
<PatternLayout pattern="${LOG_PATTERN}" />
<LevelRangeFilter minLevel="WARN" maxLevel="WARN" onMatch="ACCEPT" onMismatch="DENY"/>
</File>
<File name="ErrorFile" fileName="logs/Error.log" immediateFlush="true"
append="true">
<PatternLayout pattern="${LOG_PATTERN}" />
<LevelRangeFilter minLevel="ERROR" maxLevel="ERROR" onMatch="ACCEPT" onMismatch="DENY"/>
</File>
<File name="FatalFile" fileName="logs/Fatal.log" immediateFlush="true"
append="true">
<PatternLayout pattern="${LOG_PATTERN}" />
<LevelRangeFilter minLevel="FATAL" maxLevel="FATAL" onMatch="ACCEPT" onMismatch="DENY"/>
</File>
</Appenders>
<Loggers>
<Root level="TRACE">
<AppenderRef ref="TraceFile" />
<AppenderRef ref="DebugFile" />
<AppenderRef ref="InfoFile" />
<AppenderRef ref="WarnFile" />
<AppenderRef ref="ErrorFile" />
<AppenderRef ref="FatalFile" />
</Root>
</Loggers>
</Configuration>
The above configuration ensures that each appender accepts log events of exactly one level only.
Another option is to use the RoutingAppender (see log4j2 manual) as demonstrated in the following configuration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="WARN">
<Properties>
<Property name="LOG_PATTERN">%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n</Property>
</Properties>
<Appenders>
<File name="TraceFile" fileName="logs/Trace.log" immediateFlush="true"
append="true">
<PatternLayout pattern="${LOG_PATTERN}" />
</File>
<File name="DebugFile" fileName="logs/Debug.log" immediateFlush="true"
append="true">
<PatternLayout pattern="${LOG_PATTERN}" />
</File>
<File name="InfoFile" fileName="logs/Info.log" immediateFlush="true"
append="true">
<PatternLayout pattern="${LOG_PATTERN}" />
</File>
<File name="WarnFile" fileName="logs/Warn.log" immediateFlush="true"
append="true">
<PatternLayout pattern="${LOG_PATTERN}" />
</File>
<File name="ErrorFile" fileName="logs/Error.log" immediateFlush="true"
append="true">
<PatternLayout pattern="${LOG_PATTERN}" />
</File>
<File name="FatalFile" fileName="logs/Fatal.log" immediateFlush="true"
append="true">
<PatternLayout pattern="${LOG_PATTERN}" />
</File>
<Routing name="Routing">
<Routes>
<Script name="RoutingInit" language="JavaScript"><![CDATA[
logEvent.getLevel();]]>
</Script>
<Route ref="TraceFile" key="TRACE" />
<Route ref="DebugFile" key="DEBUG" />
<Route ref="InfoFile" key="INFO" />
<Route ref="WarnFile" key="WARN" />
<Route ref="ErrorFile" key="ERROR" />
<Route ref="FatalFile" key="FATAL" />
</Routes>
</Routing>
</Appenders>
<Loggers>
<Root level="TRACE">
<AppenderRef ref="Routing" />
</Root>
</Loggers>
</Configuration>
In this configuration the appenders are indifferent toward the level of the log event. The RoutingAppender is the decision maker with regard to which events go to which appender. I tend to prefer using RoutingAppender because it can be made more compact by taking advantage of the log4j2 plugin system. If you add your own lookup which returns the name of the level associated with the log event you can use that lookup to dynamically create appenders on the fly. The code for the lookup and the revised configuration are shown below:
import org.apache.logging.log4j.core.LogEvent;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.plugins.Plugin;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.core.lookup.StrLookup;
#Plugin(name = "level", category = "Lookup")
public class LevelLookup implements StrLookup{
/**
* Lookup the value for the key.
* #param key the key to be looked up, may be null
* #return The value for the key.
*/
public String lookup(String key) {
return null;
}
/**
* Lookup the value for the key using the data in the LogEvent.
* #param event The current LogEvent.
* #param key the key to be looked up, may be null
* #return The value associated with the key.
*/
public String lookup(LogEvent event, String key) {
return event.getLevel().name();
}
}
Here is the revised configuration that takes advantage of the new lookup:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="WARN">
<Properties>
<Property name="LOG_PATTERN">%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n</Property>
</Properties>
<Appenders>
<Routing name="Routing">
<Routes pattern="$${level:}">
<Route>
<File name="${level:}File" fileName="logs/${level:}.log" immediateFlush="true"
append="true">
<PatternLayout pattern="${LOG_PATTERN}" />
</File>
</Route>
</Routes>
</Routing>
</Appenders>
<Loggers>
<Root level="TRACE">
<AppenderRef ref="Routing" />
</Root>
</Loggers>
</Configuration>
As with the other configurations this will send log messages to a file based on the log level of the log event. For example INFO level events will be logged to logs/INFO.log
I hope this helps you.

I have the above config for my windows service when it's installed, and I'm initializing my logger like so in the Progam.cs file on the service that I'm installing:
static void Main()
{
XmlConfigurator.Configure();
_logger.Debug("ProxyServerService Started.");
ServiceBase[] ServicesToRun;
ServicesToRun = new ServiceBase[]
{
new ProxyServerService()
};
ServiceBase.Run(ServicesToRun);
_logger.Debug("ProxyServerService Terminated.");
}
When I use pretty much the same configuration in an application that communicates with this service it creates a log directory and writes logs to that directory. But when I run the service nothing happens.
Turns out that the reason I couldn't see the logs is because I'd configured the logger the log in the active directory, which is Windows\system32 and windows wouldn't let me do that.
I changed the following line:
<file value="logs\" />
To:
<file value="C:\AppName\logs\" />
And it works fine.
I use Log4Net for logging. When the application starts, I call
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();
But this line takes 15 seconds to finish. Am I doing something wrong? Or is it normal?
I am developing with ASP.NET MVC, an use Unity for dependency injection.
At the application start, I call a Bootstrapper Initialise function
protected void Application_Start()
{
IUnityContainer container = Bootstrapper.Initialise();
...
...
}
In the Bootstrapper Initialize function, I register the type ILog.
private static IUnityContainer BuildUnityContainer()
{
var container = new UnityContainer();
...
...
container.RegisterType<ILog>("", new ContainerControlledLifetimeManager(),
new InjectionFactory(factory =>
LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(HomeController).Assembly, connectionString)));
...
...
}
At the beginning of GetLogger function I call the configure function
public static ILog GetLogger(Assembly assembly, string connectionString)
{
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(); //<----- it takes 15 seconds to finish
...
...
}

15 Seconds sounds like a (connection) timeout, I believe the default timeout is 15 seconds.
I had a similar problem once and it turned out to be The CLR tried to verify the authenticode signature at load time to create publisher evidence for an assembly.
I am not sure about the details but there is a configuration element named "generatePublisherEvidence" in the assembly section where it can be turned off. You should check if you want to do this though. And what the implications for this are.
If you are using .Net 4 (or greater) this should have no impact on load time.
For web applications this setting cannot be set in the applications web.config. It should be set in the aspnet.config in the .Net framework directory.
When you try to call the following statement
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();
The system will try to validate the given database connection string. Here the problem is, your given connection string might be not connecting and it is trying to connect until it's given a time out.
Please verify is your given connection string is valid or not.

Why log4net doesn't log NHibernate information (info, debug ....)
Aren't the versions of these dlls compatible?
I have create an empty ASP.Net MVC3 project. and loss much time trying to fix this issue.
And I find VS2010 bug. Visual Studio 2010 don't copy dll's in bin when you refer it in project.
I put log4net.dll manual in my bin folder and work fine. (Interesting thing is that Logger.Error("fake error") work fine without log4net.dll in bin folder ...)
First off: you speak of "log4net.config", but you don't include that anywhere. The way you configure it in web.config, you should actually include a section called <log4net> inside your web.config, not as a separate file.
If you don't want it in your web.config, you can remove the log4net related sections altogether and add the following line to yur global.asax.cs:
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(
New FileInfo(Server.MapPath("~/yourreleativepath/log4net.config")))
Also, possibly you miss the priority setting, not entirely sure this helps, but give it a try:
<root>
<priority value="DEBUG"/>
<appender-ref ref="Console"/>
<appender-ref ref="FileAppender"/>
<appender-ref ref="AdoNetAppender"/>
</root>
Also, to finetune (because you'll get a lot messages), use something like this:
<logger name="NHibernate.SQL">
<level value="DEBUG"/>
</logger>
<logger name="NHibernate">
<level value="WARN"/>
</logger>
On nhibernate.info you'll find a full example.
