log4net filling memory in prod

["Edward Williams (Icertis Inc)" <v-...@microsoft.com>]

Is there a way using log4net to limit the memory usage for logs?  The thread and private byte could goes out the window.  Also if trying to log to a path that the system doesn't have rights it holds onto the events.  Is there a setting for simply dropping log entries that can't be saved?

Thank you!

Async appenders can be configured lossy, by the means that they will loose
events once their buffer is full:

Please excuse my typos.  Nearly cut off my hand in November, still trying to type/work with it.  :)  Corrected below.

Is there a way using log4net to limit the memory usage for logs?  The thread and private byte count goes out the window.  Also if trying to log to a path that the system doesn't have rights to it holds onto the events.  Is there a setting for simply dropping log entries that can't be saved?
