MongoDbAppender

MongoDbAppender for Log4net.

How to use

• Add MongoDbAppender.dll to your project, as well as MongoDB.Bson.dll and MongoDB.Driver.dll.

• Config as a normal log4net appender. For example

  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <log4net>
    <appender name="MongoDbAppender" type="Log4net.Appender.MongoDb.MongoDbAppender, Log4net.Appender.MongoDb">
      <connectionStringName value="Logging"/>
      <collectionName value="test" />
      <bufferSize value="1" />
    </appender>
    <root>
      <level value="All" />
      <appender-ref ref="MongoDbAppender" />
    </root>
  </log4net>

  • connectionStringName: refers to the connection string name in app.config/web.config

      <connectionStrings>
        <add name="Logging" connectionString="mongodb://192.168.122.1/Logs"/>
      </connectionStrings>

  • collectionName: corresponding collection name in MongoDB. To avoid name duplication, a prefix logs_ will be added. So for the example above, a collection logs_test will be created.

  • bufferSize: Buffer queue length. MongoDbAppender Stores logs in buffer before sending them to MongoDB.
