Is there a way for me to inject properties into a LoggingEvent? I'm trying to
accomplish this without the user (of log4net) doing anything special. The only
thing I could think of was wrapping loggers, and while I'm not against doing
that it would have to be done via configuration as I don't want the user to
have to do it programmatically. Is there any way for me to inject a logger
wrapper via configuration?
The reason I'm looking to do this is that I would like to set a property on the
LoggingEvent to use for filtering. This property would be determined based on
the level property. I could simply use the level property for filtering, but I
have other events which I generate which are all logged at the Emergency level
but have a different value for this property so for them I'm using this
property for filtering. I don't have the same issue with these other events
because they are logged via an extension method I provided on the ILog
interface:
public static class Logging
{
public static void LogEvent(this ILog logger, Category category, IEvent
evnt)
{
if ((category != null) && (evnt != null))
{
evnt.SetCategory(category.Name);
LoggingEvent le = new LoggingEvent(null, logger.Logger.Respository,
logger.Logger.Name, Level.Emergency, evnt, null);
le.Properties["category"] = category.Name;
logger.Logger.Log(le);
}
}
}
So for instance when a user does the following:
logger.Error("this is my error message");
or
logger.Warn("this is my warning message");
or
logger.Info("this is my info message");
I would like to set the property "category" on the LoggingEvent to
"criticalDiagnostic". When they do:
logger.Debug("this is my debug message");
or
logger.Trace("this is my trace message");
I would like to set the property "category" on the LoggingEvent to
"noncriticalDiagnostic". Any way for me to do that automagically?
