Log4Net log into a remote C# App

[xaruman <xa...@gmail.com>]

Hi

I've been looking for a solution during several days but I've not found
anything. The issue is that I have an application which is saving logs by
log4net (a log file) and I need to "capture" this logs into a remote
application. I thought about mapping the log file into my remote
application, but I think that maybe there is a solution to my problem using
directly log4net functionality. 

Is it possible to "subscribe" remotely to a log4net logging? I mean, what I
need is that when A application prints a log into its log file, my B
application in a different computer advices this and display the information
in a win form. Remote append? a Server/client append? I have no idea about
how to fix this problem.

Thanks in advance for your help. Hope having been clear enough.

You certainly can do that.

For example you could use
log4net.GrowlAppender<https://www.nuget.org/packages/log4net.GrowlAppender/>
and
use Growl as a transport medium. If you want to use HTTP or something else
just implement your own appender. You can look at the source
code<https://bitbucket.org/togakangaroo/log4net.growlappender/src/0f1c713ea639892eaa18380cf6b50fba194925cb/log4net.GrowlAppender/GrowlAppender.cs?at=default>for
the growlAppender for reference, it's all of 70 lines of code.
