Allow to inherit appenders in config file
-----------------------------------------
Key: LOG4NET-139
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-139
Project: Log4net
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Appenders
Reporter: Steve Wagner
Priority: Minor
In my log4net configuration file i use several rolling file appenders like this:
<appender name="RootLogFileAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value="logs\rolling-log.txt" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
<maximumFileSize value="5MB" />
<rollingStyle value="Size" />
<staticLogFileName value="true" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level
%logger [%ndc] - %message%newline" />
</layout>
<filter type="log4net.Filter.LoggerMatchFilter">
<LoggerToMatch value="Foo" />
<AcceptOnMatch value="False" />
</filter>
<filter type="log4net.Filter.LoggerMatchFilter">
<LoggerToMatch value="Bar" />
<AcceptOnMatch value="False" />
</filter>
</appender>
But for each log file i have to define the full RollingFileAppender again and
again and again. So it would be good if i defined the base appender once,
inherit all other from it and set only the new filename. This could look like
this:
<appender name="FooFileAppender" BasedOn="RootLogFileAppender">
<file value="logs\foo-log.txt" />
</appender>
<appender name="BarFileAppender" BasedOn="RootLogFileAppender">
<file value="logs\bar-log.txt" />
</appender>
