Sounds to me like a race-condition in the making. Follow the timeline:
User1 Logs in Set GlobalContext = User1 Configure Log All is good. But what about: User1 Logs in Set GlobalContext = User1 User2 Logs in Set GlobalContext = User2 Configure (from first login) Log something Configure (from second login) Log something else I'll bet both log entries end up in the second file. -Walden -- Walden H Leverich III Tech Software & BEC - IRBManager (516) 627-3800 x3051 wald...@techsoftinc.com <mailto:wald...@techsoftinc.com> http://www.TechSoftInc.com <http://www.techsoftinc.com/> http://www.IRBManager.com <http://www.irbmanager.com/> Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.

At last I got what I wanted. Following were the steps I followed: 1. Set the file name dynamically using GlobalContext [you can ThreadContext as well] property which the user who logged in. 2. Load the config file using XmlConfigurator.Configure(ConfigFile). 3. Now use GetLogger(type()) This working is perfectly as expected. Thanks again. Raj. On Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 8:36 PM, Walden H.

We have a similar requirement to include the client name in our application, and we use a single log file (per day) but every request starts with a NDC.Push(ClientID) step. Then it's a trivial job to grep the log file for the client name. Likewise, when you need to see the log file for JoeUser you could just grep for JoeUser. If you need them maintained then you could just split the files after the fact by user name. -Walden -- Walden H Leverich III Tech Software & BEC - IRBManager (516) 627-3800 x3051 wald...@techsoftinc.com http://www.TechSoftInc.com <http://www.techsoftinc.com/> http://www.IRBManager.com <http://www.irbmanager.com/> Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.

I am using log4net in mhy we application. I am facing issues in configuring log4net to log errors at user level. That is, If user X logs in, I like to create file name X and all error for user X should be written in X.log. Siilarly if Y user logs in the log file should be in name of Y.log and the most important point to note is, they could log in concurrently. I tried the luck by creating log files whose name would be framed dynamically as soon as the user logs in. But issue here, if they are not using the application at the same time, the log files are creeated with correct name and writing as expected, but if both users have active sessions, log file is created only for user who FIRST logged in and error of second user has been recorded in log file that is created for FIRST user. Please help me in this. Thanks much.
