I was going to use ELMAH for our ultimate automatic error logging but recently realized that ASP.NET Health Monitoring does a same work (perhaps). Now I want to know (please) if they are alternatives of each other just like log4net and entlib?
ELMAH is for error monitoring, pure and simple. Easy to see the errors via a readout, RSS feeds, etc. Health monitoring is more of a full instrumentation solution.
Want the easy answer?
ELMAH is a very quick pluggable solution for error monitoring it has a very specific task (that is does beautifully). Health Monitoring is more of the shotgun see/monitor everything approach and involves much more setup work. Oh yeah, need to make a change? It’s open source, grab it, change it as you like.
