Hi

Is there a config setting that enables log4net to put “port” and “hostname” information in the log messages when running in a ASP.NET Webservice (or website) ?

 I see conversion pattern in the FAQ and wonder if I there is a %port available?

<conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%ndc] - %message%newline" />

My use case is that I have multiple instances of a webservice running on the multiple boxes. Having port and hostname would really help distinguish which instance of the service generated the message.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Regards

You need to set properties in the Thread context before logging, then modify your conversion pattern to output those properties.

log4net.ThreadContext.Properties[“Port”] = port;

log4net.ThreadContext.Properties[“Host”] = host;

<conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%ndc] - %P{Host}:%P{Port} - %message%newline" />

See http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/manual/contexts.html for more information.

Cool. That was more elegant  and extensible than I had imagined.

Thanks.
