RollingFileAppender Stops logging in Web Service

[Fahad Sarwar]

Hi, I am using Log4Net within a WebService.  I have been successfully logging to a file using the RollingFileAppender, however recently the webservice stops logging completly to the file for no apparant reason.  The WebService continues to work successfully but no logs are generated.  I have read in other threads that by touching the web.config file, this will cause the webservice to start logging again.  This works fine, but again, sometimes a week later or a month later, the WebService stops logging.

 

Has anyone come across this problem in the past as i have not seen anything on the forum.

 

Below is a sample of the web.config used.

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
 <configSections>
  <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" />
 </configSections>
<appSettings>

....

</appSettings>

 

 

<log4net>
  <appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
   <param name="File" value="C:\\logs\\NGSPublicMobilePrePayProvisioningService\\NGSPublicMobilePrePayLog" />
   <param name="AppendToFile" value="true" />
   <param name="RollingStyle" value="Date" />
   <!--<param name="MaxSizeRollBackups" value="10" />-->
   <param name="DatePattern" value="yyyyMMdd" />
   <param name="StaticLogFileName" value="false" />
   <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
    <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d - %m%n" />
   </layout>
  </appender>

 

  
  <appender name="OpalLoggingAppender" type="log4net.Appender.OpalLoggingAppender" >
   <param name="threshold" value="FATAL" />
  </appender>
  
  <root>
            <level value="INFO" />
            <appender-ref ref="OpalLoggingAppender" />
            <appender-ref ref="RollingFileAppender" />
        </root>
  </log4net>
   
</configuration>

 

Within my Global.asax file i use the following line of code, which basically tells the log4net where to find the web.config:

 

protected void Application_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e)

{ Opal.Logging.LogEntry.SetConfigurator(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ConfigurationFile); }
