Sorry for the abiguity. I want the messages to go to a file.
To reiterate, I want the log to contain all info messages and above.
When an error occurs, I want additional information, all the way down to
the debug level. So if an error occurs, I will have the last 500 log
messages that will tell me what led up to that event.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Here is what I have so far:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<log4net>
<!-- Define our output appender(s) -->
<appender name="RollingFiles"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<param name="File" value="Log.txt" />
<param name="AppendToFile" value="true" />
<param name="MaxSizeRollBackups" value="20" />
<param name="MaximumFileSize" value="10MB" />
<param name="RollingStyle" value="Size" />
<param name="StaticLogFileName" value="true" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<param name="Header" value="***** Log Started *****\r\n"/>
<param name="Footer" value="***** Log Ended *****\r\n"/>
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d [%t] %-5p %c [%x]
- %m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>
<appender name="BFA"
type="log4net.Appender.BufferingForwardingAppender" >
<bufferSize value="512" />
<lossy value="true" />
<evaluator type="log4net.Core.LevelEvaluator">
<threshold value="ERROR"/>
</evaluator>
<appender-ref ref="RollingFiles" />
</appender>
<!-- Setup the root category, add the appenders and set the default
level -->
<root>
<level value="INFO" />
<appender-ref ref="RollingFiles" />
</root>
<!--
Send all messages to the Buffering Forwarding
Appender so that it can
log the debug messages when it encounters an
ERROR level message.
-->
<logger name="root">
<level value="DEBUG" />
<appender-ref ref="BFA" />
</logger>
</log4net>

When you say last x messages, do you mean of only Info and above?
If so then just set the logger level to Info.
<root>
<level value="Info" />
<appender-ref ...>
</root>

Where do you want the log messages to go? file, email etc...

If you want to trigger sending the buffer on Warn events then you need
to specify a threshold value on the Evaluator of the
BufferingForwardingAppender.
<evaluator type="log4net.Core.LevelEvaluator">
<threshold value="Warn" />
</evaluator>

Why don't you post the log4net configuration you currently have.
