Logging based on userID

["Burger, Erik" <Er...@Gpxs.net>]

Hi,
 
I know I have asked this question before in a long distant past and saved
the response for when I had more time. Now that I have, I cannot find the
response. Typical.
 
Anyway, I have written an extension to the log4net framework to add a
'userID' field. This works great. What I would like to do now (or, to be
precise, what my Support team would like to do now) is be able to switch
logging levels based on userID. That is, I would like to be able to have
Info as my standard logging level for all users but be able to turn on the
Debug level for particular users in response to Support calls.
 
How would I go about doing that? Is there something I can do using Filters
or do I need to extend my extension in some way??
 
Thanks in advance,
Erik

RE: how can i add my custom infomaition

[Georg Jansen <Ge...@FaktNet.com>]

Hi,

One approach to this issue is to takes advantage of Log4net's
Thread.Context.Properties

For example 
log4net.ThreadContext.Properties["UserName"] = UserName
                   
And then use the PatternLayout:
  <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
     <conversionPattern value="%thread User=%property{UserName}"/>
  </layout>

I have written a short article about this method on:
