Question

I am using Elmah for logging in a ASP.NET MVC project and I am recieving lots of 404 errors for a path /prx2.php which in turn is passing a hash as a querystring param.

I assume this is a scanner trying to find vulnerabilities. Because I am not running PHP I am safe! However I would like to stop ELmah reporting this error.

Whats the best way to exclude these types of errors from being reporting without actually creating a /prx2.php page. I also would like to do this in a config file rather than doing it progmatically.

Any ideas?

Elmah supports error filtering – Error Filtering link

This should solve the issue for you. You can either define your filter through code – in the Global.asx file, or within the xml config for elmah itself
