Log4Net Loggr Agent

A log4net "appender" for logging to Loggr. You should be able to drop in the binaries and configure the appender and log4net will automatically log to your Loggr log.

NOTICE: This agent requires the full version of the .Net Framework, client profiles will not work

Installation

• Drop the binaries in the /bin folder of your app (if you already have the log4net.dll, you don't need to copy that)
• Add lines to your web.config or app.config

Sample lines for your *.config file

<configuration>
  <configSections>
	<sectionGroup name="loggr">
	  <section name="log" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler"/>
	</sectionGroup>
  </configSections>
  
  ...
  
  <loggr>
	<log>
	  <add key="logKey" value="#####"/>
	  <add key="apiKey" value="#####"/>

	  <!-- OPTIONAL
	    -- tags: allows you to specify additional tags to add for each event (space delimited)
		-- source: allows you to specify a default source if event is missing one 
	  <add key="tags" value="#####"/>
	  <add key="source" value="######"/>
	  -->
	</log>
  </loggr>
  
  ...
  
</configuration>

Sample log4net config to use the Appender (add to log4net section)

<log4net>
  <appender name="LoggrAppender" type="Loggr.Log4Net.Appender,loggr-log4net"></appender>

  ...

  <root>

    ...

    <appender-ref ref="LoggrAppender" />
  </root>
</log4net>

How To Use

When properly configured you shouldn't have to change your logging code. This Appender includes the loggr-dotnet agent, so you can add a reference to that and make better use of the Loggr posting API.
