After downloading the 1.2.11 version category is working fine
log4net.ThreadContext.Properties["Category"] = "404"; From: Venkatasamy, Vanitha [mailto:vanitha.venkatas...@xpandcorp.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2011 11:56 AM To: Log4NET User Cc: bode...@apache.org Subject: RE: How to set the category and EventId in EventLog log4net Stefan, Thank you for the reply . I corrected the mistake .I was trying out few things and forgot to switch it back. Yes you are right, it's not going to hit the last block. if ((log.IsErrorEnabled) && ((checkException.GetHttpCode() == 500) || (checkException.GetHttpCode() == 404))) { if(checkException.GetHttpCode() == 500) log4net.ThreadContext.Properties["Category"] = "500"; else log4net.ThreadContext.Properties["Category"] = "404"; log.Error("Error" + sbErrorMessage.ToString() ); } else if (log.IsWarnEnabled) { log.Warn("Warning" + sbErrorMessage.ToString()); } else if (log.IsInfoEnabled) { log.Info("Information" + sbErrorMessage.ToString()); } } 1.The version of log4net.dll I am using is 1.2.10 . 2.I tried setting the category as below, still its logs 'None' in the event Log.Is there any config changes I need to do? log4net.ThreadContext.Properties["Category"] = "500"; See the attachment 3.Yes you are correct ,I want to switch the level on the type of exception raised. The code is in Global.asax and I tried to get the innerExeception See the attachment Since the if (objErr.GetType() == typeof(HttpException)) { checkException = (HttpException)objErr; } checkException.GetHttpCode() =500 ,all the error are going into log.Error in my custom Event log. But if I check the system-application log,its logged as "Application" level.

This is a new feature of 1.2.11, though, the category is fixed in 1.2.10 and earlier. > log4net.ThreadContext.Properties["Category"] = "500"; should work as well as log4net.ThreadContext.Properties["Category"] = 500; > Also how to differentiate the error levels [like i am getting the > error message from Global.asax and logging the message to > Eventlogs.But all the errors are going to log.error as below Not sure I follow you here. > if ((log.IsErrorEnabled) && ((checkException.GetHttpCode() == 500) > || (checkException.GetHttpCode() == 404))) > { > if(checkException.GetHttpCode() == 500) > log4net.ThreadContext.Properties["Category"] = "500"; > else > log4net.ThreadContext.Properties["Category"] = "404"; > log.Error("Error" + sbErrorMessage.ToString() ); > } > else if (log.IsInfoEnabled) > { > log.Warn("Information" + sbErrorMessage.ToString()); > } > else if (log.IsWarnEnabled) > { > log.Info("Warning" + sbErrorMessage.ToString()); > } You have likely swapped IsInfoEnabled and IsWarnEnabled (as you use Warn if IsInfoEnabled and vice versa). Also note that IsWarnEnabled implies IsInfoEnabled so you never hit that last branch. > In addition ,I am not quite clear aout getting the Error,Warning and > Information separately ..Like if i get an "InvalidOperationException" > it's an warning but the httpcode is 500 and it gets logged as > "Error". I tried to get sbErrorMessage.innerExeception but its null. You mean you want to switch the level on the type of exception raised? Where is this code, inside Global.asax Application_Error method? Take a look at Server.GetLastError and maybe unwrap (i.e. look at the InnerException) if it is a HttpUnhandledException.
