Throttling/Rollup feature in EventLogAppender
Is there a Throttling feature available or planned in EventLogAppender. If we log to event log a message that could potentially be logged at frequency of one per incoming request to my web application, it could flood the event log with millions of messages if/when things go wrong. If there was a = way to roll them up every x seconds into a single event log message (with a count of how many messages where rolledup), it would be useful to me. Is there any such feature? Or workaround? Regards Pranav

It looks like someone has done something similar with the SmtpAppender: http://marc.info/?l=log4net-user&m=120887073724259&w=2 You could use the BufferingForwardingAppender to capture the messages then send aggregate information when its time to flush the buffer. - Original Message From: Pranav Varia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "log4net-user@logging.apache.org" Sent: Friday, May 2, 2008 5:00:08 PM Subject: Throttling/Rollup feature in EventLogAppender Is there a Throttling feature available or planned in EventLogAppender.

Hi Pranav, James Wilkinson and I worked up some code to do this. See http://markmail.org/message/pahnqti7yq4xoz7m I am currently the bottleneck on this having not responded to James' last message :(. I'll get moving and hopefully we can contribute this code to the community soon.
