webapplication logging - one log file per user
Hi,
Please help me with this query in using log4net.
I am using log4net in mhy we application. I am facing issues in configuring
log4net to log errors at user level.
That is, If user X logs in, I like to create file name X and all error for
user X should be written in X.log. Siilarly if Y user logs in the log file
should be in name of Y.log and the most important point to note is, they
could log in concurrently.
I tried the luck by creating log files whose name would be framed
dynamically as soon as the user logs in. But issue here, if they are not
using the application at the same time, the log files are creeated with
correct name and writing as expected, but if both users have active
sessions, log file is created only for user who FIRST logged in and error of
second user has been recorded in log file that is created for FIRST user.
Please help me in this.
Thanks much.

if I hv understood it correct, By using log thread context, we should capture each user in the application.
A new appender can be added for each user to capture the log.

No Karim,
My requirement is like that. We need to maintain user level logging rather
than at application level. Pls try to help me out. I am desperate.

Hi Raj,
surely there wouldnt be a new log created for each user interaction? Wouldnt it be better for you to just record each interaction on one log?

Thanks Karim.
I don't have any other logging.
There is only one type of logging - log all the errors per user in a log whose name would be the person who logged in. If 10 users are goign to use the application 10 seperate logs should be there.
Help me out.

Does your web app already store this information in a seperate log, or at a different level? If it does, it may be easy to create a new appender to get the information out of this source rather than shoehorning it all into log4net.

Sounds to me like a race-condition in the making. Follow the timeline:
User1 Logs in
Set GlobalContext = User1
Configure
Log
All is good. But what about:
User1 Logs in
Set GlobalContext = User1
User2 Logs in
Set GlobalContext = User2
Configure (from first login)
Log something
Configure (from second login)
Log something else
I'll bet both log entries end up in the second file.

I understand it's not your exact requirement, but what about including
the user name in each message logged, but pushing it into the NDC? We
have a similar requirement to include the client name in our
application, and we use a single log file (per day) but every request
starts with a NDC.Push(ClientID) step. Then it's a trivial job to grep
the log file for the client name. Likewise, when you need to see the log
file for JoeUser you could just grep for JoeUser.
If you need them maintained then you could just split the files after
the fact by user name.

Subject: webapplication logging - one log file per user
Hi,
Please help me with this query in using log4net.
I am using log4net in mhy we application. I am facing issues in
configuring log4net to log errors at user level.
That is, If user X logs in, I like to create file name X and all error
for user X should be written in X.log. Siilarly if Y user logs in the
log file should be in name of Y.log and the most important point to note
is, they could log in concurrently.
I tried the luck by creating log files whose name would be framed
dynamically as soon as the user logs in. But issue here, if they are not
using the application at the same time, the log files are creeated with
correct name and writing as expected, but if both users have active
sessions, log file is created only for user who FIRST logged in and
error of second user has been recorded in log file that is created for
FIRST user.
Please help me in this.
Thanks much.
