Re: NTEventLogAppender

[Daniel Einspanjer <de...@gmail.com>]

When I had this problem, it turned out to be because
NTEventLogAppender only has the capability to log using an RPC call
and my server was locked down to not accept "remote" event logs.  I
fixed this by patching the 0.9.7 NTEventLogAppender to have better
error logging and to use the local API if the server was an empty
string.

Even if you are not logging to the local host, the error logging might
be beneficial to you for tracking your trouble down.

Attached is a patch for 0.9.7
