Hello Nitin, There are two ways to do that. The first is using filters on the main log appender. The filter would redirect messages to a different converter and it will all be done within the configuration. *This option requires that the special data text will have an identifying property* such as a log level or a unique string in the text. Read about log4net filters to find out more.
If you do not have a special property or text you can use to filter the messages, you can use the second approach, where you create a separate logger and appender for the data: <appender type="...FileAppender" name="SpecialDataAppender"> <file value="specialdatafile"/> <layout> <conversionPattern value=" special pattern for data "/> ..... </appender> <logger name="specialDataLogger"> *<additivity value="false"/>* <appender-ref ref="SpecialDataAppender"/> </logger> Then, use this logger in a method that would dump the data to the log file: DumpData: log = log4net.....GetLogger("specialDataLogger"); foreach (var item in specialData) log.Info(item); This will give you a separate log file for the special data. However, I assume that you want it incorporated into the main log file, right? If so, you will have to change both appenders: that of the main file and that of the special data file, to use "minimal lock". Here's an example: <appender name="MainLogFile" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender"> <file value="*myapplog.log*" /> <appendToFile value="false" /> *<lockingModel type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender+MinimalLock" />* <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"> <conversionPattern value="..."/> </layout> </appender> <appender name="*SpecialDataAppender*" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender"> <file value="*myapplog.log*" /> <appendToFile value="true" /> *<lockingModel type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender+MinimalLock" />* <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"> <conversionPattern value=" special data pattern "/> </layout> </appender> This will incorporate the special data text into the main log file. Hope this answers your question. Ronen Mashal.
