Re: Error destroying my productivity Please Help!: log4net:ERROR [] Attempted to append to closed appender named []
Hallo again ...
I was not able to reproduce your problem. The config runs without
errors on my system.
But I had some time to study the log4net sources and can tell you,
that there is totaly no way to configure 2 Loggers with the same
name.
The reason: The Repository stores all Logers in a Hashtable; the
logger name is used as the key for this table, so it's impossible to
store two loggers with the same name. What happens in XmlConfig is
like this:
It loops through root xml elements. For every Logger element, it calls
getLogger(Name) to get the logger (wich will create a new logger or
return the allready created if exists). Level is set/overriden,
AppenderRefs are erased, and recreated.
In the end, your Logger is allways configured like the last definition
in configfile.
You can profe this very simple for yourself:
[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFileExtension = log4net)]
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
foreach (log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Logger curLog in
log4net.LogManager.GetRepository().GetCurrentLoggers())
{
Console.WriteLine(logger {0} - level {1} ,
curLog.Name,curLog.Level);
foreach (log4net.Appender.IAppender curAppender in
curLog.Appenders )
{
Console.WriteLine({0} - {1}, curAppender.Name,
curAppender.GetType().FullName);
}
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
Hard to say why your FileAppender crashes. Are you using the target
file in other processes? Perhaps log4net is not able to open the
FileHandle and runs into the 'cannot write to closed appender'
exception?
Re: Error destroying my productivity Please Help!: log4net:ERROR [] Attempted to append to closed appender named []
Ross' writeup is correct. This is not the correct way to define a logger: logger name=Invoicing level value=DEBUG / appender-ref ref=AdoNetAppender / /logger !-- WRONG -- logger name=Invoicing level value=FATAL / appender-ref ref=FileAppender / /logger That's the not the documented way to define loggers so I'd say that behavior is undefined...in this case it throws an exception that can probably be guarded against fairly easily.

Re: Error destroying my productivity Please Help!: log4net:ERROR [] Attempted to append to closed appender named []
You can specify a threshold value in the appender. That would allow you to log messages from a given level and higher. For example, as a child to the appender node: threshold value=INFO would log Info messages, Warning messages, and so on. From there, you can use Ron's suggestion for controlling what you want to see overall and to manage multiple appenders. If I understand your question, Omatase, it sounds like you want to log one log level per file, maybe? I'm not certain you can specify an upper threshold to an appender. I've never used log4net in such a fashion. Does anyone know if you can set an upper limit on an appender?

And you can set the Level per Logger. Perhaps you want to define another one: logger name=Invoicing level value=ALL / appender-ref ref=consoleTestAppender / /logger now you have also the root logger (Invoicing). So you can configure global settings for all Invoicing loggers or for every single one ... have fun! Daniel

Re: Error destroying my productivity Please Help!: log4net:ERROR [] Attempted to append to closed appender named []
I did some research about this
I checked the log4net sources. The error is thrown in
AppenderSkelleton (the base class of all appenders).
public void DoAppend(LoggingEvent[] loggingEvents) {
..
if (m_closed)
{
ErrorHandler.Error(Attempted to append to closed appender named
[+m_name+].);
return;
}
}
m_closed in only set in
public void Close()
it reads in code docu:
It is a programming error to append to a closed appender.
Perhaps this is really a bug in one of the log4net appenders.
Can you post a simple as possible config, that reproduces the error on
your system? I will try to reproduce this and debug into log4net to
see whats going wrong with the appender.

Thanks for your help. Following is a minimalist example of one that fails.
The error it causes is log4net:ERROR [FileAppender] Attempted to append to
closed appender named [FileAppender]. and can be seen in the Visual Studio
Output window.

You'll see that although the example *may* not be practical, it should be
possible. It's not super realistic for someone to want a FileAppender only
for FATAL messages although it *could* happen. I replaced the
AdoNetAppender
with the FileAppenderFatal in the interest of making the smallest possible
reproducible configuration.
Interestingly, this configuration does *not* reproduce the error:
log4net

The only difference between the two was I swapped the positioning of the
two
loggers.

RE: Error destroying my productivity Please Help!: log4net:ERROR [] Attempted to append to closed appender named []
PMFBI but that would log to both appenders using the same level. Omatase seems to want to log to each appender using different levels to control each.

I have been tasked by my team to create a logging service so that we can all have convenient logging without having to integrate it into our individual projects. I decided to do this I would just build a wrapper around log4net that makes it even simpler to use than it already is. After not too much work I got it up and running and (seemingly) working. I had it running on a development web server here for people to begin using with no issues initially. Now I am getting this really really really crappy error whenever I try to write a log no matter the loglevel or the logger being used. I have narrowed it down to config file changes but cannot find an answer. The changes I narrowed it down to are: If I have the following configuration in my log4net xml section everything is fine root level value=DEBUG / appender-ref ref=AdoNetAppender / /root And if I add an additional logger suchas: logger name=Invoicing level value=DEBUG / appender-ref ref=AdoNetAppender / /logger we're still in good shape. But! When I add another logger with the same name as another existing logger suchas: logger name=Invoicing level value=FATAL / appender-ref ref=FileAppender / /logger all hell breaks loose and I get the following error: log4net:ERROR [] Attempted to append to closed appender named [] I am certain log4net is supposed to support a log strategy such as this so that I can have fatal messages logged differently for the same logger name. Can someone help me understand what's going on? I can post any and all code I have if it will help diagnose the problem.
