Log4net RollingFileAppender stops to roll over

Hello,

I'm using log4net v1.2.10 and encountered the following problem:
I'm using a rolling file appender and everything worked quite fine for a
while. But suddenly (after some weeks) the RollingFileAppender stops to
roll over for no obvious reason (at least I can see no reason) and now I
have a really very big log file.
Can you help me?

The application runs on a Windows 2003 system. Here comes my config file:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<log4net>

      <appender name="RollingLogFileAppender"
      type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
      <param name="File" value="C:\\Documents and Settings\\All
      Users\\Application Data\\CWS\\log\\CWSServer.log"/>
      <param name="AppendToFile" value="true"/>
      <param name="MaxSizeRollBackups" value="50"/>
      <param name="RollingStyle" value="Date"/>
      <param name="DatePattern" value="yyyyMMdd"/>
      <param name="StaticLogFileName" value="true"/>
      <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
      <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss} [%t]
      %-5p %c{1} - %m%n"/>

</layout>

RE: Log4net RollingFileAppender stops to roll over

I am not an expert on log4net .. But the first thing I would check is how many log files you actually have? If = 50
then I would suspect that  MaxsizeRollBackups is not doing what the doc says it should do (ie erasing old
files) after 7 weeks one day. If != 50 then there is some other problem.

I already erased all old files but no effect.
There must be some other problem...

GetLastWriteTime in RollingFileAppender.RollOverIfDateBoundaryCrossing seems to return wrong date

Hello,

it seems that the Method of  System.IO.File GetLastWriteTime sometimes
returns the current time insted of the time the log file or directory was
last written to.
What i've don was this: I activated log4net internal logging and checked
the RollingFileAppender.cs file. It seems that everey time, log4net calls
GetLastWriteTime (in RollingFileAppender.RollOverIfDateBoundaryCrossing,
line 781 it gets the current time. If it then compares this result with the
current time (to decide if a new file should be created) theses times are
the same and therefore no new file is created for that reason.
Is this a known bug? (My system is a Win2003 server.)

Possible to test log4net filters on certain logevent?

Hi,

Is this "old" forum the only for log4net? Anyways - suppose I have a certain
logevent, is it possible to investigate up front IF that particular logevent
would pass all filters? I can't seem to find a Filters collection that I can
use for this?

RE: Custom Event Log source

I think you have to create the event log yourself, outside of log4net.

Re: Possible to test log4net filters on certain logevent?

Noone knows? Perhaps I could rephrase: I need a programmatic way to determine
if a certain logentry would be filtered or not.

Example: I have the following logentry: 
logger.Warn("This might be logged but I dont know. I want to test it in
code.");

Now I want to find out - at runtime - if that specific line in my code will
produce a log. Some programmatic way to test one or all configured filters
against the data in my log-line (Logger, Level, text etc). 

Hope my meaning here is more clearer?

Thanks.
