Log4net 将在哪里创建这个日志文件？

当我将文件值设置为 logs\log-file.txt时，它将在哪里创建这个文件夹? 在 /bin目录中？

我的 web.config 看起来像这样:

<log4net>
<appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
<file value="logs\log-file.txt" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<lockingModel type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender+MinimalLock" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%property{NDC}] - %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
</log4net>

这是记录的正确方式吗:

ILog logger = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(CCController));
logger.Error("Some Page", ex);  // where ex is the exception instance

The file value can either be an absolute path like "c:\logs\log.txt" or a relative path which I believe is relative to the bin directory.

As far as implementing it, I usually place the following at the top of any class I plan to log in:

private static readonly ILog Log = LogManager.GetLogger(
MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);

Finally, you can use it like so:

Log.Debug("This is a DEBUG level message.");

I think your sample is saving to your project folders and unless the default iis, or .NET , user has create permission then it won't be able to create the logs folder.

I'd create the logs folder first and allow the iis user full permission and see if the log file is being created.

For the log folder and file stuff, go with @Bens answer.

I will comment on the creating log part, though. Imo there is no correct way. When coding loggers manually I do it the way you're doing it:

ILog logger = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(CCController));

because it is short and concise.

That said, I do not create the logger instances inside the classes these days, I let my IoC container inject it for me.

Log4net is saving into your project folder. Something like: \SolutionFolder\ProjectFolder\bin\SolutionConfiguration\logs\log-file.txt.

Where:

  • SolutionFolder is where you save your solution
  • ProjectFolder is the folder where your project lives into the solution and
  • SolutionConfiguration is the folder that contais all the binaries of your project (the default is Debug or Release)

Hope this helps!

If you want your log file to be place at a specified location which will be decided at run time may be your project output directory then you can configure your .config file entry in that way 

<file type="log4net.Util.PatternString" value="%property{LogFileName}.txt" />

and then in the code before calling log4net configure, set the new path like below

 log4net.GlobalContext.Properties["LogFileName"] = @"E:\\file1"; //log file path
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();

How simple is it? :)

it will create the file in the root directory of your project/solution.

You can specify a location of choice in the web.config of your app as follows:

   <appender name="RollingLogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value="c:/ServiceLogs/Olympus.Core.log" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<rollingStyle value="Date" />
<datePattern value=".yyyyMMdd.log" />
<maximumFileSize value="5MB" />
<staticLogFileName value="true" />
<lockingModel type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender+MinimalLock" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="-1" />
<countDirection value="1" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date %-5level [%thread] %logger - %message%newline%exception" />
</layout>
</appender>

the file tag specifies the location.

FileAppender appender = repository.GetAppenders().OfType<FileAppender>().FirstOrDefault();
if (appender != null)
logger.DebugFormat("log file located at : {0}", appender.File);
else
logger.Error("Could not locate fileAppender");

if you want to choose dynamically the path to the log file use the method written in this link: method to dynamic choose the log file path.

if you want you can set the path to where your app EXE file exists like this - 

var logFileLocation = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName
(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);

and then send this 'logFileLocation' to the method written in the link above like this:

Initialize(logFileLocation);

and you are ready to go! :)

I was developing for .NET core 2.1 using log4net 2.0.8 and found NealWalters code moans about 0 arguments for XmlConfigurator.Configure(). I found a solution by Matt Watson here

        log4net.GlobalContext.Properties["LogFileName"] = @"E:\\file1"; //log file path
var logRepository = LogManager.GetRepository(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly());
XmlConfigurator.Configure(logRepository, new FileInfo("log4net.config"));

In your case, the log file will be in bin\Debug\netcoreapp3.1\ folder and this may depends on your framework too.

I used Asp.Net core 3.1 so the folder path is bin\Debug\netcoreapp3.1\
