Manipulating the configuration programmatically

[Ofri Sela <of...@prolify.com>]

Hi,

 

I would like to write a simple UI tool above the log4net configuration that
will basically allow me to control the level of logging per a given logger
or the root itself.

The thing is that I would like to allow this manipulation to take place
while my application is up and running. 

 

I'm aware that I can change the file itself and use the "ConfigureAndWatch"
API from my application but I wonder if there is a programmatic way to do it
as well. 

 

So if for example my configuration is as follows:

                        <root>

                                    <level value="WARN" />

                                    <appender-ref ref="MyDBAppender" />

                                    <appender-ref
ref="MyRollingFileAppender" />

                                    <appender-ref ref="MyAlertsAppender" />

                        </root>

                        <logger name="SomeLogger" additivity="false">

                                    <level value="ERROR" />

                                    <appender-ref ref="MyDBAppender" />

                                    <appender-ref
ref="MyRollingFileAppender" />

                                    <appender-ref ref="MyAlertsAppender" />

                        </logger>

 

 

I would like to be able to change the root level from "WARN" to "DEBUG" and
change the logger called "SomeLogger" level from "ERROR" to "INFO".

 

Please advice

 

 

 

 

Regards

The programmatic way is to use ConfigureAndWatch, or set Watch=true in
your assembly attributes. Why bother to re-invent the wheel?
