I’m using Enterprise Library 4.1 and I’ve configured the Logging Application Block to log my errors in my ASP.NET MVC 3 application. Everything works just fine and my errors are currently written to a log.
I’d like to also email the errors to myself but we use Google Apps and its SMTP server requires a username / password.
Here’s the listener I’ve added for Email logging I’m hoping I just need to add some kind of username=”” and password=”” attributes. Anybody know what they are?
<loggingConfiguration name="Logging Application Block" tracingEnabled="true" defaultCategory="" logWarningsWhenNoCategoriesMatch="true">
<listeners>
<add toAddress="my@email.com" fromAddress="my@email.com"
subjectLineStarter="" subjectLineEnder="" smtpServer="smtp.gmail.com"
smtpPort="587" formatter="" listenerDataType="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Configuration.EmailTraceListenerData, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"
traceOutputOptions="None" filter="All" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.TraceListeners.EmailTraceListener, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"
name="Email" />
</listeners>
I should note that it looks lie EmailTraceListnerData does have a “userName” and “password” property in Enterpise Library 5.0 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee762316(v=PandP.50).aspx. But it doesn’t seem to apply to 4.1. Anybody know a workaround?
Justin, we’ve added authentication to the EmailTraceListener in v5.0. If you must stay on 4.1, see the workarounds here.
