Multiple Loggers Stepping on Toes

I'm working with a 3rd party component that is using
Log4net.  Their logger
is configured programatically.

My homegrown components use Log4Net as well and are
configured using a
seperate XML file.  As soon as I access a certain line of
code in the 3rd
party component, my logger gets its Debug and Info logging
disabled.

I'm confused how this is happening.  I'm getting a log by
totally different
name.  Anyone ever see this or know how to fix it?

Currently I have RollingLogFileAppender configured to hold a
max of 20 files PER HOUR as follows:
    <appender name="RollingLogFileAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
      <file value="c:logsMyService.log"
/>
      <appendToFile value="true" />
      <rollingStyle value="Composite" />
      <maxSizeRollBackups value="20" />
      <maximumFileSize value="100KB" />
      <datePattern value="yyyyMMdd-HH" />
        ....
    </appender>
This configuration keeps last 20 files FOR EACH HOUR and
hence the number of files add up indefinitely over time.
Is there a way to configure a absolute max number of total
files (without regards to the rolling intervals)? I am
looking to setup log4net to basically keep a max of last X
number of files at any given point in time in the year or
years.

You can receive UDP events generated by log4net using
log4j's Chainsaw.

You can also search, colorize, sort and filter events with
Chainsaw.

You do need to change your log4net configuration to specify
the log4j schema layout, and specify a UDPReceiver on the
Chainsaw side.

Hi,
 
I'm in awe of log4net, nice one!   One of
the reasons I digg this
utility is because I discovered yesterday that we can
monitor logging
remotely via UDP. I configured a UDP appender for our app
and I'm
watching production for one of the users on my machine.
Neat. 
 
Right now I'm running with an evaluation version of
log4view. I like the
colour (ah the simple things in life) and I like the udp
support.
However its going to expire in the future and I have
limited
functionality. Can anybody tell me a completely free
equivalent. Again,
the colour is important.I don't think the log4net from 
apache supports
colour. sounds silly but our 3rd party dlls spew an awful
lot of stuff
out and I need to see it all... can't filter out certain
level messages.
 
thanks much and have a nice day
 
Graham
 

Nice one ,

Thanks Scott.
