I'm trying to setup tracing for a specific endpoint in my WCF application.
I've tried with Filters on the "messageLogging" element in servicemodel, but it doesn't seem to apply on the sources System.Net and System.Net.Sockets.
I can't run tracing on all endpoints in production since it will add up to much storage. Doesnt anyone know how to filter the output to the listener to only include traffic on one specific endpoint?
My web.config looks like this:
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true"/>
<sources>
<source name="System.Net">
<listeners>
<add name="TraceFile"/>
</listeners>
</source>
<source name="System.Net.Sockets">
<listeners>
<add name="TraceFile"/>
</listeners>
</source>
</sources>
<sharedListeners>
<add initializeData="C:\Temp\TracingSystemNet.svclog" type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener" name="TraceFile" />
</sharedListeners>
<switches>
<add name="System.Net" value="Verbose" />
<add name="System.Net.Sockets" value="Verbose" />
</switches>
</system.diagnostics>

I am trying to log the request ad response messages in my client while the client is consuming a thirdparty WebService.
Despite of many attempts the log file - MessageLog.svclog never gets created using the following WCF configuration in the app.config file. Please help.
<system.diagnostics>
<sources>
<source
name="System.ServiceModel.MessageLogging"
switchValue="Information, ActivityTracing" >
<listeners>
<add name="yourTrace"

<filter type="" />
</add>
</listeners>
</source>
</sources>
<trace autoflush="true" />

Thank you !
Try this. Notice the SharedListeners node
<system.diagnostics>
<sources>
<source name="System.ServiceModel.MessageLogging"
switchValue="Warning, ActivityTracing">
<listeners>
<add type="System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener" name="Default">
<filter type="" />
</add>
<add name="ServiceModelMessageLoggingListener">
<filter type="" />
</add>
</listeners>
</source>
</sources>
<sharedListeners>
<add initializeData="C:\Log\MessageLog.svclog"
type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"
name="ServiceModelMessageLoggingListener" traceOutputOptions="Timestamp">
<filter type="" />
</add>
</sharedListeners>
<trace autoflush="true" />
</system.diagnostics>
<system.serviceModel>
<diagnostics>
<messageLogging logEntireMessage="true" logMalformedMessages="true"
logMessagesAtTransportLevel="true" />
</diagnostics>
...
</system.serviceModel>
I had problem with WS Client tracing where App.config and folder permissions were totally ok. The solution in my case was that I renamed it to .exe.config (was built to .dll.config of the WS client dll). So make sure:
That the name in the folder of the config file matches the assembly name
That when you run/debug it, the assembly that config file is for, is really used and not assembly for other location.
If it is built into .dll.config it is maybe ignored cause it should be .exe.config.
-m
My application is using WCF, And I am creating a service log file on server. It is working correctly, It is writing same svclog file and it is increasing in size.
What would I have to do to create a new svclog file when it reaches a fixed file size like I want it to be 50MB, or it creates a new svclog file for each day.
Currently, The source and listeners have been defined in the web.config file as follows:
<system.diagnostics>
<sources>
<source name="System.ServiceModel.MessageLogging" switchValue="Warning, ActivityTracing">
<listeners>
<add name="ServiceModelTraceListener" />
</listeners>
</source>
<source name="System.ServiceModel" switchValue="Verbose,ActivityTracing">
<listeners>
<add name="ServiceModelTraceListener" />
</listeners>
</source>
<source name="System.Runtime.Serialization" switchValue="Verbose,ActivityTracing">
<listeners>
<add name="ServiceModelTraceListener" />
</listeners>
</source>
</sources>
<sharedListeners>
<add initializeData="C:\ServiceLogs\app_tracelog.svclog" type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" name="ServiceModelTraceListener" traceOutputOptions="Timestamp" />
</sharedListeners>
</system.diagnostics>
How can I do this?
You should create a custom trace listener.
There is a perfect sample from MS for this ! This example can not fit exactly with your needs, but it is easy to understand and so to change.

I have looked at a lot of different Azure and Wcf service examples. I have configured a trace listener and much trace information is appearing in the associated log file; however, I don't see the results of my Trace.WriteLine requests. I do see my Trace.WriteLine requests in the Azure debugger output panel.. Where is the output of these requests persisted?
From my Web.config
<system.diagnostics>
<sources>
<source propagateActivity="false" name="System.ServiceModel"
switchValue="Verbose,ActivityTracing">
<listeners>
<add type="System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener" name="Default">
<filter type="" />
</add>
<add name="AzureLocalStorage">
<filter type="" />
</add>
</listeners>
</source>
<source name="System.ServiceModel.MessageLogging" switchValue="Information">
<listeners>
<add type="System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener" name="Default">
<filter type="" />
</add>
<add name="AzureLocalStorage">
<filter type="" />
</add>
</listeners>
</source>
</sources>
<sharedListeners>
<add type="WCFServiceWebRole1.AzureLocalStorageTraceListener, WCFServiceWebRole1"
name="AzureLocalStorage">
<filter type="" />
</add>
</sharedListeners>
<trace autoflush="true" />
From my AzureLocalStorageTraceListener.cs
public class AzureLocalStorageTraceListener : XmlWriterTraceListener
{
public AzureLocalStorageTraceListener()
: base(Path.Combine(AzureLocalStorageTraceListener.GetLogDirectory().Path, "WCFServiceWebRole1.svclog"))
{
}
public static DirectoryConfiguration GetLogDirectory()
{
DirectoryConfiguration directory = new DirectoryConfiguration();
directory.Container = "wad-tracefiles";
directory.DirectoryQuotaInMB = 10;
directory.Path = RoleEnvironment.GetLocalResource("WCFServiceWebRole1.svclog").RootPath;
return directory;
}
}
The AzureLocalStorageTraceListener you created simply logs to a *.svclog file. If you want to output logs to the emulator there are a few things you should take care of:
Add the DevelopmentFabricTraceListener to your shared listeners (this will also work for the 1.7 SDK)
<add type="Microsoft.ServiceHosting.Tools.DevelopmentFabric.Runtime.DevelopmentFabricTraceListener, Microsoft.ServiceHosting.Tools.DevelopmentFabric.Runtime, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" name="Emulator">
<filter type="" />
</add>
Make sure the switch value is correct (you could try the value All to get started)
Change the logging level in the emulator (by right clicking the icon at the top right of the screen).
I'm trying to diagnose a WCF service that is self-hosted in a relatively simple service host process (Service.exe).
I have Service.exe.config configured thus:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration>
<system.diagnostics>
<sources>
<source name="System.ServiceModel"
switchValue="All"
propagateActivity="true">
<listeners>
<add name="traceListener"
type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener"
initializeData= "c:\temp\Service.svclog" />
</listeners>
</source>
</sources>
</system.diagnostics>
<system.serviceModel>
<diagnostics>
<messageLogging maxMessagesToLog="1"
maxSizeOfMessageToLog="2147483647"
logEntireMessage="true"
logMessagesAtServiceLevel="true"
logMalformedMessages="true"
logMessagesAtTransportLevel="true">
</messageLogging>
</diagnostics>
</system.serviceModel>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0"
sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0" />
</startup>
</configuration>
When I look at the resulting svclog file, I see many trace events being logged (I expected only the first message to be logged), and none of the messages being traced show a message body (only headers).
I'm sure I must be missing something simple here, but I don't see it.
UPDATE: When I look at the WCF Config Editor, there are two sections under "Diagnostics": MessageLogging and Tracing. When I click the "EnableMessageLogging" link, my config file gets updated:
<system.diagnostics>
<sources>
<source propagateActivity="true" name="System.ServiceModel" switchValue="All">
<listeners>
<add type="System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener" name="Default">
<filter type="" />
</add>
<add initializeData="c:\temp\MessageBodyTracing.svclog" type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener"
name="traceListener">
<filter type="" />
</add>
</listeners>
</source>
<source name="System.ServiceModel.MessageLogging" switchValue="Warning, ActivityTracing">
<listeners>
<add type="System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener" name="Default">
<filter type="" />
</add>
<add name="ServiceModelMessageLoggingListener">
<filter type="" />
</add>
</listeners>
</source>
</sources>
<sharedListeners>
<add initializeData="c:\users\me\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\messagebodytracing\messagebodytracing\app_messages.svclog"

name="ServiceModelMessageLoggingListener" traceOutputOptions="Timestamp">
<filter type="" />
</add>
</sharedListeners>
</system.diagnostics>
I guess the source named System.ServiceModel.MessageLogging is the key - I hadn't seen that in any documentation of message tracing...
Try to add:
<endToEndTracing propagateActivity="true" activityTracing="true" messageFlowTracing="true" />
in your diagnostics node, under messageLogging.
Set LogEntireMessage to true under Diagnostics->MessageLogging in the Service configuration Editor
How to enable tracing for WCF ajax enabled services? I have the following code:
<system.diagnostics>
<sources>
<source name="System.ServiceModel.MessageLogging">
<listeners>
<add name="messages"
type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="c:\logs\messages.svclog" />
</listeners>
</source>
</sources>
but it doesn't work.
thanks in advance.
Try like this:
<sources>
<source name="System.ServiceModel"
switchValue="Information, ActivityTracing"
propagateActivity="true">
<listeners>
<add name="sdt"
type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="c:\logs\messages.svclog" />
</listeners>
