RE: Email alert from log4net

Hi ,
 I tried it with BufferingForwardingAppender , it has the buffersize but no time limit. My requirement is sending mail if  20 errors are logged within  5 min.


<appender name="BufferingForwardingAppender" type="log4net.Appender.BufferingForwardingAppender" >
    <bufferSize value="20" />
    <lossy value="true" />
    <evaluator type="log4net.Core.LevelEvaluator">
        <threshold value="Error"/>
    </evaluator>
    <appender-ref ref="EventLogAppender" />
</appender>

<appender name="EventLogAppender" type="log4net.Appender.EventLogAppender">
      <param name="LogName" value="PWebLogs" />
      <param name="ApplicationName" value="Test" />
      <filter type="log4net.Filter.LevelRangeFilter">
        <acceptOnMatch value="true" />
        <levelMin value="INFO" />
        <levelMax value="FATAL" />
      </filter>
      <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
        <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%property{NDC}] - %message%newline" />
      </layout>
    </appender>

Thanks,

You could extend BufferingForwardingAppender to wrap your original appender and add logic for sending mail when there's too much traffic after inspecting the buffer and to stop messages from forwarding until a certain timeout period has passed.

Hi ,

I need some idea to implement the following requirement in the web application .

I am using log4net in a custom dll to log the errors. I completed the log4net implementation and its working fine.[aspx errors are logged in Event Log and the asp errors are logged in FileAppender] .All the  .loggerError() methods are in the custom dll.

Now I want to monitor the logging, suppose if there is a situation like the .loggerError() method is called more than 10 times in just 15 mins  because of Fatal error or if database is down, then I want to track that and send email to admin. Is anybody implemented similar requirement or is there any solution in Log4net.
