For my purposes, Log4net is better in every respect. I wish I knew this
two years ago.
I am the architect for a medium-sized distributed project that is
perhaps in the 200-300K lines category. We started with EntLib logging
but never really enjoyed it - the configs and the lack of built-in
LogFilePatternReceiver can preserve all lines of a -message- field which
contains newlines, but doesn't support newline as a delimiter in parsing
a single log entry.
If you were to convert your %n's (except at the end of each entry) to
dashes or something else, you could use something like:

Hi Scott,
I didn't know Chainsaw could parse log files, so thanks for that. I'm
giving it a go now, but the conversion pattern is a little complex:
Here's an example of an entry in the log file using this pattern:

Log4j's Chainsaw can parse files written using a RollingFileAppender - on the
Chainsaw side, use a LogFilePatternReceiver (the Welcome tab in Chainsaw has a
'view example receiver configuration' toolbar button which contains an example
xml configuration). The JavaDoc for LogFilePatternReceiver

Hello Ian,
the current version of Log4View can only parse XML formatted messages.
I am thinking about adding a pattern layout parser in the next version, but I'm
not sure, if it will parse all kind of patterns flawlessly. There are a lot of
conceivable patterns that lead to quite ambiguous log
Hello,
Unfortunately we're not using the XmlLayout in our RollingFileAppender. Here's
the layout we're using:
I know this would be quite difficult to parse, but is Log4View able to read
this pattern layout?
Thanks

Hello Ian,
you can check out Log4View (www.log4view.com).
Besides the genuine UdpAppender and a special TcpAppender, Log4View can also
open log files, which are created by log4net's FileAppender and
RollingFileAppender using the XmlLayout.
Log4View normally show messages sorted by date but c
Hi all,
Does anyone know of an application that is capable of loading a log file
that has been written to using the RollingFileAppender? I know there's
the Log4Net Viewer and Chainsaw, but I think these applications just
listen to UDP packets, and I need to examine historical logs in files.

Hello all,
I have been asked to compare the Log4Net library with the Microsoft patterns

I have searched this forum but can't find anyone who has asked this question

Hello,
I now have different console appenders according to the specific level
I use. I have a problem appender, an info appender and a debug
appender. I use filters and tresholds to limit the levels these
appenders process.
However, the only difference between them is the conversion pattern
