Log4Net - Issues

Enable internal debugging

FAQ: How do I enable log4net internal debugging?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="log4net.Internal.Debug" value="true"/>
  </appSettings>
</configuration>

This setting is read immediately on startup an will cause all internal debugging messages to be emitted.

Note: Add these settings to the end of the configuration file i.e. after </configSections> and after the final </log4net> tag.

No Logging

• Have you set-up the assembly configuration in AssemblyInfo.cs? For more information see log4net - Getting Started, Configuration, Assembly…

• I had a situation where my main application did not do any logging, but one of the references did. I added logging to the main application, and everything burst into life.
