EIF or log4net?

Bob
The raging question that is going on currently is about
log4net vs. EIF. I feel that EIF is complex and incomplete
at this point. By incomplete, I mean MS is still fiddling
with it.
log4net is based on log4j which has been around longer
and is less complex.
Other than WMI, log4net accomplishes the same tasks.

The question is, can you do WMI in log4net? If so, how?

thanks,
bob

I consider both to be much too complex in nature for what they do. log4net
is one of the biggest code bases I've ever seen that provides very little
real value to an app(insomuch as logging provides little value to an end
user). And its design smacks of OO purist java, which, IMHO, isn't very
clean in and of itself most of the time(no matter what the purists try to
tell you).

Once I have to spend more time learning my logging solution than I do to
learn my database access solution, I generally rethink the logging solution.
The question is, can you do WMI in log4net? If so, how?


If there is no built in support, I imagine you would be able to extend it to
add WMI support.
I don't see an existing extension to do it, but I do suspect you could write
one.
