i have a asp.net web application written about 2 years ago .It does not have any logging mechanism in it. Ideally I would like to log any errors that happen especially at the database level. I cannot afford to break the application however, and I have limited time.

I have heard about ELMAH. Is it possible to have something that doesn’t talk to my code directly and just does its own thing by monitoring the server?

  • It was made in ASP.NET 3.5.
  • It has AJAX as well as heavy use of ViewState.
  • The application also communicates with Excel.
  • It is built in Visual Studio 2008 w/ SQL Server 2005 on the backend.

How do I go about deploying this website with above requirements?

    Yes.

    Added ELAMH to your application – it will log the errors. It’s non-invasive.

    Once ELMAH is added to your application it hooks into the OnError Event and captures all errors throw by your application. This is assuming that your application does not swallow the errors.

    The documentation around ELMAH is through and easy to follow.
