Hi,
What would be the best approach to log different items (SQL, Exceptions,
Security, ...)
I have a simple Logging function that adds log string to the end of a text
file.
Is there any application block for that? Should i do the logging into SQL
server table ?
Any help would be apprecited,
Ali

I've always preferred using a DB, like MS SQL, to log to. It allows for
easier retrieval later and better reporting.

Isn't it a heavy load on DB server?

not really, I mean it's better then opening files as the file system level

I use sqlserver, and a background thread to do the logging, this way logging
does not hold up processing. if the logging thread cannot write to
sqlserver, it logs to the event log.

There are many places you can log your errors. My prefrence is to use the windows event logs
You can also have your own text file logging. It can be plain text or an XML file
As Curt mentioned SQL is also another alternative and it is also the easiest to report from if you have a need for that kind of stuff
Each of the above methods has their ups and downs
Logging to the event logs>> Web users have to given rights to write to this log and sys admins sometimes wont like this
Logging to your own text file>> Slower than logging to SQL or Event logs. You have manage the file on your own(i.e. how much can it grow, etc
Logging to SQL server>> Logging credentials might fail
It's up to you to figure out what best fits your application and design the best solution
BTW when you are logging errors to the database it would be better to use different credentials to write to the SQL tables other than the credentials used to access your transactional system. Even that's not fail proof so you have to handle a scenario where the credentials fail
A good place to start might be to look at Microsoft's exception management block http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...tml/emab-rm.as

Hi Ali,
Thanks for posting here. As for the datasource to store logging info, I
think Curt and bruce's suggestions are quite considerable. In addition, I'm
not sure whether you've used the "Log4Net" component, it is a tool to help
the programmer output log statements to a variety of output targets.
log4net is a port of the excellent log4j framework to the .NET runtime. Its
multi-Adaptors have provide the support to many targets such as database
server, xml log files and event log.. etc. You'may get its info via the
following web link:
#log4net - Features http://log4net.sourceforge.net/relea.../features.html
Hope this also helps.
Regards,
Steven Cheng

Hi,
while working on something in my current project I have made several
improvements to the logging package in Python, two of them are worth
mentioning:
1. addition of a logging record field %(function)s, which results in
the name
of the entity which logged the record. My version even deduces the
class name in the case which the logger is a bound method, and assuming
the name of the "self" variable is indeed "self".

I am using EnterpriseLibrary 2.0 Exception and logging block for
logging exceptions to event log. It works fine for sometime. After some
time it stops logging to event log. To make it active again I need to
open the web.config and save without making any changes. It starts to
work again.
Here is the configuration I am using.

I am setting up handlers to log DEBUG and above to a rotating file and
ERROR and above to console. But if any of my code calls a logger
(e.g., logging.error("foo")) before I setup my handlers, the logging
system will create a default logger that *also* emits logs, which I
can't seem to get rid of. Is there a way I can suppress the creation
of this default logger, or remove it when I 'm setting up my handlers?
Thanks.
