RE: webapplication logging - one log file per user
I understand it's not your exact requirement, but what about including the user name in each message logged, but pushing it into the NDC? We have a similar requirement to include the client name in our application, and we use a single log file (per day) but every request starts with a NDC.Push(ClientID) step. Then it's a trivial job to grep the log file for the client name. Likewise, when you need to see the log file for JoeUser you could just grep for JoeUser. If you need them maintained then you could just split the files after the fact by user name. -Walden -- Walden H Leverich III Tech Software BEC - IRBManager (516) 627-3800 x3051 wald...@techsoftinc.com http://www.TechSoftInc.com http://www.techsoftinc.com/ http://www.IRBManager.com http://www.irbmanager.com/ Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.

Re: webapplication logging - one log file per user
Well, Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. At last I got what I wanted. Following were the steps I followed: 1. Set the file name dynamically using GlobalContext [you can ThreadContext as well] property which the user who logged in. 2. Load the config file using XmlConfigurator.Configure(ConfigFile). 3. Now use GetLogger(type()) This working is perfectly as expected. Thanks again. Raj. On Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 8:36 PM, Walden H.

RE: webapplication logging - one log file per user
Sounds to me like a race-condition in the making. Follow the timeline: User1 Logs in Set GlobalContext = User1 Configure Log All is good. But what about: User1 Logs in Set GlobalContext = User1 User2 Logs in Set GlobalContext = User2 Configure (from first login) Log something Configure (from second login) Log something else I'll bet both log entries end up in the second file. -Walden -- Walden H Leverich III Tech Software BEC - IRBManager (516) 627-3800 x3051 wald...@techsoftinc.com mailto:wald...@techsoftinc.com http://www.TechSoftInc.com http://www.techsoftinc.com/ http://www.IRBManager.com http://www.irbmanager.com/ Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.
