The rolling style. The default rolling style is Composite. When set to Once this appender's AppendToFile property is set to false, otherwise the appender would append to a single file rather than rolling the file each time it is opened. RollingFileAppender Class log4net.Appender Namespace. This content, along with any associated source code and files, is licensed under The Code Project Open License (CPOL). This document presents example configurations for the built-in appenders. These configurations are designed to work with the log4net.Config.DOMConfigurator and the log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Hierarchy. These examples are by no means exhaustive configurations for. I have the following configuration, but I have not able to find any documentation on how to set a maximum backup files on date rolling style. I know that you can do this with size rolling style. Log4Net appends the datepattern onto the file value, so you want the file extension on the former. – Craig Walker Oct 28 '11 at 5:04 Since I want to monitor a predictable log file name for the current day, I use for file value = logs/server.log. Then for datePattern value, I add a period before yyyy. If Date/Time based rolling is enabled then the appender will not roll the log file at the Date/Time boundary but at the point when the next message is logged after the boundary has been crossed. The RollingFileAppender extends the FileAppender and has the same behavior when opening the log file.

When I set the file value to
logslog-file.txt , where exactly will it create this folder? In the /bin directory?
My web.config looks like this:
Is this the correct way to log:

If you want your log file to be place at a specified location which will be decided at run time may be your project output directory then you can configure your
.config file entry in that way
and then in the code before calling
log4net configure , set the new path like below
How simple is it? :)

it will create the file in the root directory of your project/solution.
You can specify a location of choice in the web.config of your app as follows:
the file tag specifies the location.

The file value can either be an absolute path like 'c:logslog.txt' or a relative path which I believe is relative to the bin directory.
As far as implementing it, I usually place the following at the top of any class I plan to log in:
Finally, you can use it like so:

Log4net is saving into your project folder. Something like:
SolutionFolderProjectFolderbinSolutionConfigurationlogslog-file.txt .

Hope this helps!

For the log folder and file stuff, go with @Bens answer.
I will comment on the creating log part, though. Imo there is no correct way. When coding loggers manually I do it the way you're doing it:
because it is short and concise.
That said, I do not create the logger instances inside the classes these days, I let my IoC container inject it for me.

I think your sample is saving to your project folders and unless the default iis, or .NET , user has create permission then it won't be able to create the logs folder.
I'd create the logs folder first and allow the iis user full permission and see if the log file is being created.

if you want to choose dynamically the path to the log file use the method written in this link: method to dynamic choose the log file path.
if you want you can set the path to where your app EXE file exists like this -
and then send this 'logFileLocation' to the method written in the link above like this:
and you are ready to go! :)

I would like to store log4net config data in my application.config file. Based on my understanding of the documentation, I did the following:
However, when I run the application, I get the following error on the console:
No appender named [Consoleappender] could be found.
How can I get log4net to read settings from the config file?
Thanks!

Add a line to your app.config in the configSections element
Then later add the log4Net section, but delegate to the actual log4Net config file elsewhere.. Cars with good visibility for short drivers.

From the config shown in the question there is but one appender configured and it is named 'EventLogAppender'. But in the config for root, the author references an appender named 'ConsoleAppender', hence the error message.

Have you tried adding a KyleMit

I fully support @Charles Bretana's answer. However, if it's not working, please make sure that there is only one
<section> element AND that configSections is the first child of the root element:
configsections must be the first element in your app.Config after configuration:
8,47122 gold badges3535 silver badges6464 bronze badges
All appender names must be reflected in the root section.
In your case the appender name is EventLogAppender but in the <root> <appender-ref . section it is named as ConsoleAppender. They need to match.
You can add multiple appenders to your log config but you need to register each of them in the
<root> section.
You can also refer to the apache documentation on configuring log4net.
