I assume that your reports are based on the logging statements in the DB.
How do you accomodate for the different information needed for different
reports? Do you log all the logging data as XML to a single database
column? If so, how do you take advantage of the query capabilities in the
DB, wouldn't you need to get all the records and then parse the XML for each
record to determine it's type / information?
Also, are there any tools / third-party products out there for generating
reports based on Log4Net logs?
Thanks for the help,

Hi,
I know the primary purpose of Log4Net is logging capability in your
application. However, I'm wondering if it's also used/recommended for
Reporting?
I've heard talk of people using Log4Net to generate logging information
that they intend to use for creating reports. Is this a recommended
strategy? Or should application reporting be kept separate from Log4Net
entries?
From what I understand, it's common for Log4Net to be turned off in a
production application and only turned on when required to debug a problem.
If this is the typical usage, then clearly reporting based on Log4Net
would not be recommended.
If you could clear this for me, it would avoid steering several projects in
the wrong direction.
Thanks.
