I am currently running a windows service that creates multiple instances of a class.
At the top of the service class and every other class in my solution, I have something like this:
private static readonly ILog _log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(SomeClassTypeHere));
In my App.config, I have Log4Net configured for a single file:
<log4net debug="true">
<appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value="LogsSomeLogFileName.xml" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<rollingStyle value="Size" />
<countDirection value="1" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="30" />
<maximumFileSize value="10MB" />
<staticLogFileName value="true" />
<lockingModel type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender+MinimalLock" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.XmlLayoutSchemaLog4j">
<locationInfo value="true" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="INFO" />
<appender-ref ref="RollingFileAppender" />
</root>
</log4net>
This works great in most respects, and everything logs to a single file. However, I'd really like to create a separate log file for each instance of a particular class that my service creates.
This is a class that we often need to monitor for support and we can have a handful of instances running at the same time.
We don't know which instances will be running at a given time, so it makes creating static files in the configuration kinda painful.
I tried taking off the readonly modifier and setting the following in the class constructor:
_log = LogManager.GetLogger("DataCollectionClass_" + deviceName + "_" + DateTime.Now.ToString("MMddyyyy"), typeof(SomeClassTypeHere));
But that requires that I define an appender manually in the configuration, which would be cumbersome and tough to keep up with.
Any thoughts on doing this in L4N? I have seen links here but don't really know if that much frameworking is necessary.
