Log4Net API to get appender config properties

[Dan Johnston <da...@symantec.com>]

Is it possible to access  appender properties via the log4Net API.  For 
instance, I am interested in discovering the name of a rollingfileAppender 
logfile name and path, but because it is dynamically created with respect 
to time, parsing the log4net config file proves futile.

It would appear that I should gain access to the Appenders Collection 
object, but am uncertain as to how I go about doing this.  Any help on 
this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
dan

log4net Serialization

[Dru Sellers <ds...@chinaleads.net>]

Is there anyway I can use log4net in an application that requires
serialization?
 
I have seen people with issues in the past, and I don't really want to
serialize the whole Object Graph but are there any good ideas out there?

Sure, here's a quick code snippet . . 

 

This will get you the appenders that have been appended to the root of the
hierarchy.

 

IAppender fileApp = null;

IAppender consoleApp = null;

log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Hierarchy hierarchy =
LogManager.GetLoggerRepository() as log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Hierarchy;

foreach( IAppender app in hierarchy.Root.Appenders )

{

            if (app is ConsoleAppender)

                        consoleApp = app;

            else if (app is RollingFileAppender)

            {

                        fileApp = app;

                        //Update the appender's schedule

                        RollingFileAppender ap = ( RollingFileAppender )app;

                        ap.DatePattern = sCfg.LogFileRollSchedule ;

            }

}
