Create your log4net configuration file something like:
<log4net debug="true">
<appender name="MyAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RemotingAppender"
>
<param name="Sink"
value="tcp://localhost:11000/AppenderSink" />
<param name="Lossy" value="false" />
<param name="BufferSize" value="20" />
<param name="OnlyFixPartialEventData" value="true" />
</appender>
<root>
<level value="ALL" />
<appender-ref ref="MyAppender" />
</root>
</log4net>
Setup the remoting configuration application as follows:
<system.runtime.remoting>
<customErrors mode="off" />
<application>
<channels>
<channel name="MySink" displayName="Server Channel" ref="tcp server"
port="11000" />
</channels>
</application>
</system.runtime.remoting>
Here is the code to do your remoting:
// Configuration
RemotingConfiguration.Configure(
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ConfigurationFile );
// Marshal the remoteable object
_remotedType = new RemoteType();
_remoteHandler = new RemoteEventHandler(RemoteTypeRemoted);
RemotingServices.Marshal( _remotedType,
"AppenderSink",
typeof(IRemoteLoggingSink) );
_remotedType.Remoted += _remoteHandler;
// Delegate to receive events
private void RemoteTypeRemoted(object sender, RemoteEventArgs remoteArgs)
{
// Do Something with the event arguments here
}
// Remoteable object
[Serializable]
public class RemoteEventArgs : EventArgs
{
private string _message = null;
private string _context = null;
/// <summary>
///
/// </summary>
/// <param name="messageIn"></param>
/// <param name="contextIn"></param>
public RemoteEventArgs( string messageIn, string contextIn )
{
this._message = messageIn;
this._context = contextIn;
}
/// <summary>
///
/// </summary>
public string Message
{
get { return _message; }
}
/// <summary>
///
/// </summary>
public string Context
{
get { return _context; }
}
}
/// <summary>
///
/// </summary>
public delegate void RemoteEventHandler( object sender,
RemoteEventArgs remoteArgs );
/// <summary>
///
/// </summary>
public class RemoteType : MarshalByRefObject,
log4net.Appender.RemotingAppender.IRemoteLoggingSink
{
/// <summary>
///
/// </summary>
public RemoteType()
{
}
/// <summary>
///
/// </summary>
/// <returns></returns>
public override object InitializeLifetimeService()
{
return null;
}
/// <summary>
///
/// </summary>
/// <param name="events"></param>
public void LogEvents( log4net.Core.LoggingEvent[] events )
{
if( Remoted != null )
{
RemoteEventArgs args;
foreach( log4net.Core.LoggingEvent le in events )
{
args = new RemoteEventArgs(
le.RenderedMessage, le.NestedContext );
Remoted( this, args );
}
}
}
/// <summary>
///
/// </summary>
public event RemoteEventHandler Remoted;
}

Subject: RemoteLoggingServerPlugin Info/Example
I want to create a remoting server to capture log information to file from
different processes using log4net with the remoting appender. Does anyone
have a quick example or any helpful information on how use the
RemoteLoggingServerPlugin to do this? The documentation mentions the
plugin, but I don't understand what to do with it -- any information would
be helpful.
Thanks,
Mike
