setting global, thread and event context properties

[Romanowski Tomasz]

Hi !

 

 

I would like to log values set on different levels of context.

For global and thread context I managed to use Properties of these.

Then I wanted to log a value on event level.

The only way I figured out (I'm log4net beginner) was to use LoggingEvent:

 

This is how I log information:

 

        // global context

        const string AgentVersionKey = "AgentVersion";
        const string AgentIDKey = "AgentID";
        const string MACKey = "MAC";
        const string VolumeIDKey = "VolumeID";
        const string BIOSIDKey = "BIOSID";

        // thread context
        const string TTUserIDKey = "TTUserID";
        const string TTClientIDKey = "TTClientID";

        // event context
        const string CallOperKey = "CallOper";

        public static void LogInformation(string callingOperation, string info, params object[] args)
        {
            string message;

 

            message = String.Format(info, args);

            LoggingEvent logEvent;
            LoggingEventData logData;

 

            logData = new LoggingEventData();
            logData.TimeStamp = DateTime.Now;
           
            logData.Level = Level.Info;
            logData.Properties = new log4net.Util.PropertiesDictionary();
            logData.Properties[CallOperKey] = callingOperation;
            logData.Message = message;

 

            logEvent = new LoggingEvent(ThisDeclaringType, log.Logger.Repository, logData);

 

            log.Logger.Log(logEvent);
        }

 

while layout pattern is like this:

      <conversionPattern value=">>%date [%3thread] %-5level BIOSID:%property{BIOSID} VolumeID:%property{VolumeID} MAC:%property{MAC} Agent Ver.:%property{AgentVersion} Agent ID:%property{AgentID} User:%username TTUser:%-15property{TTUserID} TTClient:%-15property{TTClientID}%newline%property{CallOper} - %message%newline" />

 

My problem is, that when I'm logging code created event, I have null values for all non-event set properties, like BIOSID, MAC etc.

CallOper, which is the only property set on event, has right value.

Initially I just used log.Info to log information, and then all then BIOSID, MAC were present in logs.

 

What I'm doing wrong ?

 

BTW.

If I create loggingevent, then am I responsible for setting its call properties ? (I've noticed, that Timestamp was empty, that's why now I assign it in my code).

(in case someone will need it)

 

it worked when I used other constructor of LoggingEvent:

 

            logEvent = new LoggingEvent(ThisDeclaringType, log.Logger.Repository,
                                        log.Logger.Name, Level.Info, message, null);

            logEvent.Properties[propertyName] = propertyValue;

 

            log.Logger.Log(logEvent);
