First, thanks for the assistance.

Okay so I took out %logger from the configuration

    <appender name="DebugAppender" type="log4net.Appender.DebugAppender">
        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
            <conversionPattern value="%date %-5level [%thread] - 
%message%newline" />
        </layout>
    </appender>
    <appender name="RollingFileAppender" 
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
        <file value="c:\app.log" />
        <appendToFile value="true" />
        <rollingStyle value="Size" />
        <maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
        <maximumFileSize value="100KB" />
        <staticLogFileName value="true" />
        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
            <conversionPattern value="%date %-5level [%thread] %logger - 
%message%newline" />
        </layout>
    </appender>

and this is what I got 

        com.pf.util.implementation.AppConfigurationImpl: 2010-05-11 
12:50:05,466 DEBUG [9] - handling sessionStart event

I am grabbing the logger by Type using

        protected static new readonly ILog log = 
LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);

and my current configuration only has the root logger defined

    <root>
        <level value="DEBUG" />
        <appender-ref ref="DebugAppender" />
        <appender-ref ref="RollingFileAppender" />
    </root>

Interesting enough the entries in my RollingFileAppender are coming out exactly 
as I expected.

        2010-05-11 13:33:54,150 DEBUG [13] 
com.purefacts.util.reports.implementation.ReportingApplicationConfigurationImpl 
- handling sessionStart event

Won't %logger contain the logger name?  How are you retrieving the logger from 
the log manager?  If you're using it by type, and are using the root logger, I 
believe the log name defaults to the namespace of your binary.

This should be controllable via the conversionPattern.  Something like the 
following in your appender, maybe?

<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
     <conversionPattern value="%date %-5level - %message%newline" />
</layout>

Good morning,

I would like to be able to control the format of the message, removing the 
initial prefix

As an example if the format of my message is:

       com.pf.util.implementation.AppConfigurationImpl: 2010-05-11 12:50:05,466 
DEBUG [9] com.pf.util.implementation.AppConfigurationImpl - handling 
sessionStart event

I would like to remove the initial 
"com.pf.util.implementation.AppConfigurationImpl" part resulting in:

2010-05-11 12:50:05,466 DEBUG [9] 
com.pf.util.implementation.AppConfigurationImpl - handling sessionStart event

I have tried it through configuration but can't seem to control the prefix

I took a quick look through the code and as far as I can tell this is not 
configurable.

Am I correct?

Whatty
