Question

I have class MyLogger, where I use log4net. How can I modify my appender to save log in specific logname (I want to set it by parameter logName).

public void AddEntry(string source, string logName, string contextInfo, string message, EventLogEntryType eventType)
        {

             log4net.ILog Log = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(source);

             Log.Error(String.Format("Context Info: {0}{1}{2}{3}", contextInfo, Environment.NewLine, Environment.NewLine, message));

        }

<log4net>
  <root>
    <priority value="ALL" />
     <appender-ref ref="EventLogAppender" />
  </root>

This is myAppender. Now it writes in common logtype Application.

  <appender name="EventLogAppender" type="log4net.Appender.EventLogAppender" >

    <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
      <conversionPattern value="%logger (%property{myContext}) [%level]- %message%newline" />
    </layout>
  </appender>
</log4net>

Answer 1

this works:

<param name="LogName" type="log4net.Util.PatternString" value="%property{LogName}" />
