So I'm using log4net to write log output to the trace. Show sql is specified in the configuration file. I seem to have to set the log output level to DEBUG to get the SQL output, but DEBUG also produces pages and pages of other guff I have to scroll past.
Can I get the SQL without the guff?
Thanks
David
You can add a logger for NHibernate.SQL in the log4net config block, like so:
<logger name="NHibernate.SQL" additivity="false">
<level value="DEBUG" />
<appender-ref ref="ConsoleAppender" />
</logger>
With the appender-config
<appender name="ConsoleAppender" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender">
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date - %message%newline"/>
</layout>
</appender>
(replace this with whatever you prefer, like rollingFileAppender)
Another option is using a tool like NHibernate Profiler.

We are using the RollingFileAppender in a web-applicfation running behind a load-balaner on multiple nodes.
We noticed that logs of previous days often are very small, only a few lines, while the current log is large. It is not 100% consistent, about 1 in 5 previous logs apear to be a full log (using 2 nodes).
We figured that both nodes must be renaming log.log to the previous date with a minimal timespan between them. The last node to do so will actually overwrite the previous log with the new logfile created moments earlier by the first node.
This is our curated config:
<log4net>
<appender name="RollingLogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<lockingModel type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender+MinimalLock"/>
<file value="\\shared-path\log.log" />
<datePattern value="yyyy-MM-dd.'txt'"/>
<staticLogFileName value="true"/>
<appendToFile value="true"/>
<rollingStyle value="Date"/>
<maxSizeRollBackups value="10"/>
<maximumFileSize value="20MB"/>
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %message%newline"/>
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="ALL"/>
<appender-ref ref="RollingLogFileAppender"/>
</root>
</log4net>
Is there any simple way to prevent this from hapening?
The problem can be solved by setting <staticLogFileName value="false"/>.
In that case it will not rename log.log to the formatted archive name, but simply create a new file for the new log.
A disadvantage of this solution is that any Tail or monitoring tool will now have to check the directory for the newest file instead of just going for the static log.log.
Edit:
This is not a viable solution. We are missing chunks of logs, the time sometimes goes back 1 minute so log4net seems to be caching before flushing to the file...

We have an issue where whenever our Gatling performance tests are run the .log file that should generate at the root of the folder is not there.
This is my whole logback file if anyone able to help please.
<contextListener class="ch.qos.logback.classic.jul.LevelChangePropagator">
<resetJUL>true</resetJUL>
</contextListener>
<appender name="CONSOLE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<!-- <filter class="ch.qos.logback.classic.filter.ThresholdFilter">
<level>INFO</level>
</filter> -->
<encoder>
<pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%-5level] %logger{15} - %msg%n%rEx</pattern>
<immediateFlush>true</immediateFlush>
</encoder>
</appender>
<appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">
<file>testFile.log</file>
<append>false</append>
<!-- encoders are assigned the type
ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder by default -->
<encoder>
<pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%-5level] %logger{15} - %msg%n%rEx</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<!-- uncomment and set to DEBUG to log all failing HTTP requests -->
<!-- uncomment and set to TRACE to log all HTTP requests -->
<logger name="io.gatling.http.engine.response" level="TRACE" />
<root level="WARN">
<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" />
<appender-ref ref="FILE" />
</root>
Thank you very much.
Update
It seems the issue may be with IntelliJ itself as noticed we can see the file when going directly to the finder.
Disabling custom plugins should help. Seems one of configuration was corrupted.
There's a good chance the file is simply not generated where you expect it. Try setting an absolute path instead to verify.
I am writing an application that will require 2 different loggers, each logging in a totally different way. When I create each instance of the log4net logger how can I get it to read from its own config section within the same app.config file. Is this possible as all I have seen so far is it taking the default
You can log two or more things independently without using separate config files.
LogManager.GetLogger("Log1")
LogManager.GetLogger("Log2")
Then in your config file you can create them like this
<logger name="Log1" additivity="false">
<level value="INFO" />
<appender-ref ref="LogFileAppender1" />
</logger>
<logger name="LOg2" additivity="false">
<level value="INFO" />
<appender-ref ref="LogFileAppender2" />
</logger>
By selecting additivity as false then they will log separately. You can then populate their appenders to write the info as needed.
I use in my application nhibernate and qurtz and I would like the log4net to write the logs to different files. the nhibernate logs to "nhibernate.log" and the qurtz logs to "quartz.log".
How do I need to cinfigure the log4net config file to get this result??
Thanks, Avi.
You can configure which appender the nhibernate logger has to use:
<logger name="NHibernate">
<level value="ERROR" />
<appender-ref ref="NHibernateAppender"/>
</logger>
<logger name="NHibernate.SQL">
<level value="ERROR" />
<appender-ref ref="NHibernateAppender"/>
</logger>
Configure a different appender for your other loggers and you have sepparate log files.
We have .NET 4 application that does some logging.
When the application is launched from Studio, there's no output in the Debug view.
When the application is launched from WinDbg, the logging is shown as expected.
I've read that there was a change in .NET 4 preventing the logging from showing up in both Studio and WinDbg, but it doesn't seem to show up in Studio at all now. Before the solution was upgraded, it did log as expected in VS2008.
Why is the Debug output showing up correctly when launched from WinDbg but not when launched from VS2010?
This was due to a misconfigured log4net.config file.
Added the <appender> block and <appender-ref> block to reference said appender.
<log4net>
...
<appender name="ConsoleAppender" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender" >
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<param name="Header" value="[Header]\r\n" />
<param name="Footer" value="[Footer]\r\n" />
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d [%t] %-5p %m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
...
<appender-ref ref="ConsoleAppender" />
</root>
</log4net>
