RE: SmtpAppender buffer flush (to mail) on shutdown.

[Adam Jack]

I’ve experienced this even with lossy=”true”, so I don’t believe this is the issues.  Anybody have any insights into how I might stop this buffer flush to mail?   Regards,   Adam From: Adam Jack Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2005 8:29 PM To: 'log4net-user@logging.apache.org' Subject: SmtpAppender buffer flush (to mail) on shutdown.   Howdy folks,   I hope this isn’t an FAQ, but I couldn’t find the answer in mailing list archives or in the documentation.   I have an SmtpAppender pretty much configured as in the example:    http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/config-examples.html#smtpappender   It is running inside my webapp (configured in the web.config) and works wonderfully, e-mailing me when I get a page crash/error event.   The only bummer is sometimes it e-mails me when nothing is wrong, but the webapp has timed out (and is being torn down.) The buffer of non-error log message is sent to me. I’ve attached the config below, and looking at it I see lossy set to false – which is a worry, I’ll set it true again – but I’m pretty certain I only tinkered with that setting when this started happening. Of course, I was preparing this e-mail as I found that setting.   Time will tell if this fixes the problem, but I’d really appreciate insights. Is this a designed in feature, or an unintentional side effect? If intentional can I disable it with some (say) disable statement when I capture the shutdown event?   Thanks for insights, and thanks for this product on this platform.   Regards   Adam -- Adventure Central http://www.AdventureCentral.com "Great Experiences Deserve Great Technology" 303 292 5522 x111 Denver, CO USA                                                     <appender name="SmtpAppender" type="log4net.Appender.SmtpAppender,log4net">                                     <to value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" />                                     <from value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" />                                     <subject value="AdventureWeb Logging." />                                     <bufferSize value="512" />                                     <lossy value="false" />                                     <evaluator type="log4net.Core.LevelEvaluator,log4net">                                                 <threshold value="ERROR" />                                     </evaluator>                                     <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout,log4net">                                                 <conversionPattern value="%property{log4net:HostName} :: %level :: %message %newlineLogger: %logger%newlineThread: %thread%newlineDate: %date%newlineNDC: %property{NDC}%newline%newline" />                                     </layout>                         </appender>
