Hi everyone,

I’m currently testing log4net and I can’t seem to be able to make the remoting part work properly. I am using the example remoting server app that’s provided with the log4net download and I implemented the remoting client part, mostly extracted from the remoting client example, in our project. All that running locally.

Our project is an ASP.Net web application and the part that needs to use log4net is one of our custom dlls for that application. For the sake of readability let’s call it the utility.dll. So I added an app.config to the utility.dll where I copied all the xml from the config file provided with the remoting client example app. Since my asp.net project runs locally, I just wanted to hit the remoting server running locally also.

I did a couple changes to the remoting server config file actually, but mostly to reformat the messages.

To make sure I wasn’t waiting for buffered logs on the client side I changed the “BufferSize” variable to 1. Here is an extract of my client side config file:

<log4net debug="false">

            <!-- Define some output appenders -->

            <!-- Use the remoting appender -->

            <appender name="RemotingAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RemotingAppender" >

                  <!-- The remoting URL to the remoting server object -->

                  <sink value="tcp://localhost:8085/LoggingSink" />

                  <!-- Send all events, do not discard events when the buffer is full -->

                  <lossy value="false" />

                  <!-- The number of events to buffer before sending -->

                  <bufferSize value="1" />

                  <!-- Do not store event data that is slow to generate -->

                  <onlyFixPartialEventData value="true" />

                  <!-- Specify an evaluator to send the events immediatly under

                       certain conditions, e.g. when an error event ocurrs -->

                  <evaluator type="log4net.Core.LevelEvaluator">

                        <threshold value="INFO"/>

                  </evaluator>

            </appender>

            <!-- Setup the root category, add the appenders and set the default priority -->

            <root>

                  <level value="DEBUG" />

                  <appender-ref ref="RemotingAppender" />

            </root>

      </log4net>

Anyway as you can imagine the reason for my email is that the logs aren’t making it to the server side… Even though they do when I just use the remoting client example application.

Any idea on why this is not happening?

Thanks,

Yann
