  • Log4net create new custom eventlog "MyLogs", but log into the Application log with Source "MyService.exe".

How I can to say log4net log into my new custom eventlog "MyLogs" ?

Solution

  • Problem is in config in key 

    <applicationName value="MyService.exe" />

    there should be like

     <applicationName value="MyLogs/MyService.exe" />

    - and all working well !

    By default log4net log into the Application log - so we need add path for our custom log.
