log4net-loggly

Custom log4net appenders for importing logging events to loggly. It’s asynchronous and will send logs in the background without blocking your application. Check out Loggly's .Net logging documentation to learn more.

Download log4net-loggly package from NuGet. Use the following command.

Install-Package log4net-loggly

Add the following code in your web.config to configure LogglyAppender in your application

<configSections>
  <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" />
</configSections>
<log4net>
  <root>
    <level value="ALL" />
    <appender-ref ref="LogglyAppender" />
  </root>
  <appender name="LogglyAppender" type="log4net.loggly.LogglyAppender, log4net-loggly">
    <rootUrl value="http://logs-01.loggly.com/" />
    <inputKey value="your-customer-token" />
	<tag value="your-custom-tag" />
  </appender>
</log4net>

Add the following entry in your AssemblyInfo.cs

[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(Watch = true)]

Alternatively, you can add the following code in your Main method or in Global.asax file

log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();

Create an object of the Log class using LogManager

var logger = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(Class));

Send logs to Loggly using the following code

    logger.Info("log message");

For Console Application

You should add the following statement at the end of your Main method as the log4net-loggly library is asynchronous so there needs to be time for the threads the complete logging before the application exits.

Console.ReadKey();
