------------------------------------

Can you provide the output from setting status="debug" on the configuration

> We are supposed to log to a network share - but sometimes it is not 
> available. I created a Failover appender with a RollingFile appender to the 
> network share as the primary, and a RollingFile appender to a local drive as 
> a failover. If the network share is not available when my application starts, 
> the Failover appender fails in its entirety and nothing is logged anywhere.
>       <Failover name="MyFile" primary="ShareFile">
