Log4Net doesn't send e-mail - log4net-configuration

This is configuration
<log4net debug="true">
<appender name="RFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender, log4net">
<File value="logs/file.txt" />
<AppendToFile value="true" />
<DatePattern value="_yyyyMMdd" />
<RollingStyle value="Date" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%level %date ==> %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="ALL" />
<appender-ref ref="RFileAppender" />
</root>
<appender name="SmtpAppender" type="log4net.Appender.SmtpAppender">
<to value="mail" />
<from value="mail" />
<subject value="Service Error Log" />
<smtpHost value="SMTPServer.domain.com" />
<bufferSize value="512" />
<lossy value="true" />
<evaluator type="log4net.Core.LevelEvaluator">
<threshold value="ERROR"/>
</evaluator>
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%newline%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%property{NDC}] - %message%newline%newline%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="Error" />
<appender-ref ref="SmtpAppender" />
</root>
</log4net>
This is the method I use to send the email
private void SendErrorLogByMail(string error)
{
mailLogger.Error(error);
}
I think it is the configuration, maybe something is missing or some wrong data but I don't know what, what did I do wrong? I put two appenders because the info and warning log levels must be written in the file, while the error levels in both the file and the mail
UPDATE
<log4net debug="true">
<appender name="RFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender, log4net">
<File value="log.txt"/>
<AppendToFile value="true"/>
<DatePattern value="_yyyyMMdd"/>
<RollingStyle value="Date"/>
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%level %date ==> %message%newline"/>
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="ALL"/>
<appender-ref ref="RFileAppender"/>
</root>
<appender name="SmtpAppender" type="log4net.Appender.SmtpAppender">
<to value="from" />
<from value="to" />
<subject value="Error Log" />
<bufferSize value="512" />
<smtpHost value="smtp.gmail.com" />
<port value="587" />
<authentication value="Basic" />
<username value="***" />
<password value="***" />
<lossy value="true" />
<evaluator type="log4net.Core.LevelEvaluator">
<threshold value="ERROR"/>
</evaluator>
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%newline%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%property{NDC}] - %message%newline%newline%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="Error" />
<appender-ref ref="SmtpAppender" />
</root>
</log4net>
Now when log4net is configured this error is returned:
log4net: ERROR [SmtpAppender] ErrorCode: GenericFailure. Error occurred while sending e-mail notification.
System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client has not been authenticated. Server response: 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. v18sm36645763edx.30 - gsmtp
in System.Net.Mail.MailCommand.CheckResponse (SmtpStatusCode statusCode, String response)
in System.Net.Mail.MailCommand.Send (SmtpConnection conn, Byte [] command, String from)
in System.Net.Mail.SmtpTransport.SendMail (MailAddress sender, MailAddressCollection recipients, String deliveryNotify, SmtpFailedRecipientException & exception)
in System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send (MailMessage message)
in log4net.Appender.SmtpAppender.SendEmail (String messageBody)
in log4net.Appender.SmtpAppender.SendBuffer (LoggingEvent [] events)

Look. I'm just seeing your configuration and did you try to change tag value for another host, like Gmail?
I don't have experience with log4net but sometimes when something is wrong to send an email, probably can be the SMTP host, port.
Make senses ?

Filter Asp.netcore logs in Log4Net

I am using ASP.NET Core and have created a Log4net logging provider.
My current log4net.config file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<log4net debug="true">

</root>
<logger additivity="false" name="Hangfire">
<level value="INFO" />
<appender-ref ref="HangfireLoggerAppender" />
</logger>
</log4net>
The log is showing A LOT of asp.net core junk. SQL Logs ect.
I would like to filter out :
Microsoft.AspNetCore.*
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.*
How do I do this with Log4net?
you need to configure logging on your WebHostBuilder as follows :
[Program.cs -> BuildWebHost(string[] args) ]
return WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
.UseStartup<Startup>()
ConfigureLogging((hostingContext, logging) =>
{ logging.AddConfiguration(hostingContext.Configuration.GetSection("Logging"));
logging.AddFilter("Microsoft.AspNetCore", LogLevel.Information);
logging.AddFilter(" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore", LogLevel.Information);
logging.AddConsole();
logging.AddDebug();
})
.Build();
You call the logging.AddFilter method specifying the namespace as first parameter and LogLevel as the second parameter.
This can be also done using configuration in appsettings.json file if you don't want to do in code. You can read more here

NHibernate Doesn't Log Errors

I'm getting an NHibernate exception that I want to try to get more info on, but it doesn't seem to be logging errors. I was actually looking to get more granular error info, but discovered the initial problem of not logging errors at all.
Here's my log4net sectionf rom config file:
<log4net>
<appender name="NHibernateAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value=".\\Logs\\NHibernate.log" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
<maximumFileSize value="10000KB" />
<rollingStyle value="Size" />
<staticLogFileName value="true" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<header value="[Header]
" />
<footer value="[Footer]
" />
<conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger - %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<appender name="NHibernateSQLAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value=".\\Logs\\NHibernate.Sql.log" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
<maximumFileSize value="10000KB" />
<rollingStyle value="Size" />
<staticLogFileName value="true" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<header value="[Header]
" />
<footer value="[Footer]
" />
<conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger - %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<logger name="NHibernate" additivity="false">
<level value="ERROR" />
<appender-ref ref="NHibernateAppender" />
</logger>
<logger name="NHibernate.SQL" additivity="false">
<level value="ERROR" />
<appender-ref ref="NHibernateSQLAppender" />
</logger>
</log4net>
I've tried "ALL" as well; it writes "DEBUG" and "INFO", but no "ERROR" entries. Any suggestions? Thanks!
If you add this into your web.config:
<appSettings>
...
<add key="log4net.Internal.Debug" value="true"/>
</appSettings>
And:
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true">
<listeners>
<add name="textWriterTraceListener"
type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="log.txt" />
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
This will show up any problems log4net may be having itself, e.g. trying to configure your appenders.

Nhibernate show_sql=false not working

This is how I create Session Factory using Fluent Nhibernate
public static ISessionFactory CreateSessionFactory()
{
FluentNHibernate.Cfg.FluentConfiguration fconfig;
fconfig = FluentNHibernate.Cfg.Fluently.Configure()
.Cache(c=>c.UseQueryCache())
.Database(FluentNHibernate.Cfg.Db.MsSqlConfiguration.MsSql2008
.ConnectionString(c => c.FromConnectionStringWithKey("Database"))
.ProxyFactoryFactory<NHibernate.ByteCode.LinFu.ProxyFactoryFactory>()
.Mappings(
m => m.FluentMappings
.AddFromAssemblyOf<NHibernateRepositoryRegistry>()
.Conventions.Add<Conventions.PrimaryKeyConvention>()
.Conventions.Add<Conventions.IdForeignKeyConvention>()
.Conventions.Add<Conventions.ReferenceForeignKeyConstraintNameConvention>()
)
// i have tried this but it did not work
//.ExposeConfiguration(config=>{config.SetProperty("show_sql", "false");});
return fconfig.BuildSessionFactory();
}
This is my log4net config inside Web.config

I had ShowSql() setup perviously
and I was trying to set it via web.config appsettings so i can turn on or off based on configuration
so I removed ShowSql() and tried following ( right now i am just passing "false" value )
.ExposeConfiguration(config=>{config.SetProperty("show_sql", "false");});
also tried
.ExposeConfiguration(config=>{config.SetProperty("hibernate.show_sql", "false");});
but I am still getting sql generated in nhibernatesql.log file
I am using NHibernate v3.1.0.4000 and FluentNHibernate v1.2.0.712 and ASP.NET MVC3
does anyone know why sql is still generating?
does show_sql or ShowSql() is only meant for Console.output purpose and sql is sent to log4net regardless ?
my main concern is slow performance if ShowSQL is set to true
not sure whether I am setting ShowSql somewhere else
ok I think I got the answer
based on http://www.davesquared.net/2008/01/viewing-sql-generated-by-nhibernate.html
show_sql is used of Console.out purpose only and sql is sent to log4net regardless.. and that is why I am seeing sql in the logs

How to suppress logging message for nHibernate

I am using log4Net in my application which also uses nHibernate. Now my eventlogger is flooded with nHibernate messages which I want to suppress.
I have tried this but it did not work.
<log4net>
<appender name="EventLogAppender" type="log4net.Appender.EventLogAppender">
<param name="LogName" value="App Log" />
<param name="ApplicationName" value="DataService" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%property{NDC}] - %message%newline" />
</layout>
<filter type="log4net.Filter.LoggerMatchFilter">
<loggerToMatch value="NHibernate*" />
<acceptOnMatch value="false" />
</filter>
</appender>
<root>
<priority value="ALL"/>
<appender-ref ref="EventLogAppender"/>
</root>
</log4net>
You can add a logger for nHibernate and set up a different level:
<logger name="NHibernate" additivity="false">
<level value="WARN"/>
<appender-ref ref="RollingFileAppender"/>
</logger>
you should use
<loggerToMatch value="NHibernate.*" /> or <loggerToMatch value="NHibernate" />
not
<loggerToMatch value="NHibernate*" />
you can find details in regex rules

nHibernate disables my log4net logs

So, we had a little ETL app that had some issues with updates. Which were nicely solved in an afternoon sprint with nHibernate. But this app relied upon log4net to push logging output to a few different destinations based upon command line switches. Once we got nHibernate wrapped into the app, it ETL'd flawlessly. But the logging functions failed completely. From the debugger's point of view, any of our loggers have all log4net's levels disabled.
Here's the log4net config:
<log4net>
<appender name="RollingFile" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value="import-" />
<staticLogFileName value="false" />
<appendToFile value="false" />
<rollingStyle value="Date" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="5" />
<datePattern value="yyyyMMdd-HHmm".log"" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date %-5level - %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<appender name="Console" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender">
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%-5level : %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<appender name="Email" type="log4net.Appender.SmtpAppender">
<to value="wwb#example.com" />
<from value="PeepsImporter#example.com" />
<subject value="Cte Importer Error" />
<smtpHost value="smtp.example.com" />
<bufferSize value="512" />
<lossy value="false" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%newline%date %-5level : %message%newline%newline%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="ALL" />
</root>
<logger name="Console">
<level value="INFO" />
<appender-ref ref="Console" />
</logger>
<logger name="File">
<level value="INFO" />
<appender-ref ref="RollingFile" />
</logger>
<logger name="DebugConsole">
<level value="DEBUG" />
<appender-ref ref="Console" />
</logger>
<logger name="DebugFile">
<level value="DEBUG" />
<appender-ref ref="RollingFile" />
</logger>
<logger name="EmailErrors">
<level value="ERROR" />
<appender-ref ref="Email" />
</logger>
</log4net>
Not sure what other code would help, but I'm happy to post anything else from this app.
What version of NHibernate are you using? Builds older than 1.0-RC1 turned logging on internally. In 1.0-RC1 they changed this so you have to manually call log4net.XmlConfigurator.Configure(). This was done to give developers more control over logging.
You could try turning on the internal debugging in log4net: See this section in the following link:
"How do I enable log4net internal debugging?"
