Hi, is it possible to confige a RollingFileAppender in the configfile and specify the output file programatically? My usecase is that I want to log in different files (e.g. agent.5.out, agent.4.out, ...) but the appender which will be used should be configured in the config file. Any Suggentions? Thanks. Bernhard See all the ways you can stay connected to friends and family

A quick google search yielded this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/571876/best-way-to-dynamically-set-an-appender-file-path You can leverage the %property{} part of log4net to accomplish what you're asking. Unfortunately, if you have multiple appenders all using that property, it will be changed for all of them as it's a global property. If that's a limitation, let me know. Hope this helps, Ross
