Bill,
Long pattern names like %property require version 1.2.9. Can you retest this
using 1.2.9?
There are a number of permission restrictions that may prevent log4net from
finding the machine name, however that is unlikely to be the case.
If you are using 1.2.9 and you want to expose your own machine identifier you
can set the value of a property programmatically during your application
startup. Something like this:
log4net.GlobalContext.Properties["host"] = Environment.MachineName; /* Or your
own value here */
Then you should be able to log the value to the database as follows:
<parameter>
<parameterName value="@machine_name" />
<dbType value="String" />
<size value="50" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout" value="%property{host}" />
</parameter>
