Omatase,
What you want would be something like the following (I'm guessing):
<log4net debug="false" threshold="ALL" >
<appender name="WarningAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender">
<threshold value="WARN"/>
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="[WarningAppender] - %message%newline"
/>
</layout>
</appender>
<appender name="InfoAppender" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender">
<threshold value="INFO"/>
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="[InfoAppender] - %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<appender-ref ref="WarningAppender" />
<appender-ref ref="InfoAppender"/>
</root>
</log4net>
This way, if you log to the same logger, you'll get two separate messages in
(potentially) two separate places.
It sounds like you want to tackle a fairly common scenario: When your
application encounters a fatal error, you want to receive a notification
about it. You could set up your SNMP appender to have a threshold of
FATAL. You would also receive that error in the other appenders you have
set up. Typically, I would think you wouldn't care if you get the fatal
error logged multiple times, especially so you could figure out (from the
DEBUG log, for example) what your application was trying to do when the
error occurred.
Does that make sense?
