In mule CE version 3.3.0, I have a mule project, and the URL for calling it is http://localhost:8086/mule?msg=Hello-World!!!.
Every time that I call it, in a log file in mule server that it has as a default some lines added as a log.
Now I want to change type of logs in mule? I want to instead the file that mule create it for logs, as a default mule create a table into Database and save important info into it.
Actually I want to have a table log for my projects, and in this table I want to have customers' information such as IP and ...
Is it possible?
How can I do it?
You can use Log4j database appender to insert Mule ESB logs into database. Below code snippet is used to do the same.
<appender name="DB" class="org.apache.log4j.jdbc.JDBCAppender">
<param name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/DBNAME"/>
<param name="driver" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
<param name="user" value="user_id"/>
<param name="password" value="password"/>
<param name="sql" value="INSERT INTO LOGS VALUES('%level','%message','%X{muleMessage}','%X{payload}')"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
</layout>
</appender>
<logger name="log4j.rootLogger" additivity="false">
<level value="DEBUG"/>
<appender-ref ref="DB"/>
</logger>

I would like to utilize Log4Net on a Dynamics 365 solution (plugins, etc.)
Is this possible somehow - I cannot just deploy a config file I guess, but are there a feasible way to do it anyhow?
The dream of mine is to unify logging, to place logging in one place, no matter if it is plug-ins, integrations or other functionality...
Besides using a configuration file, Log4net can accept its configuration from other sources using eg. a Stream or XmlElement.
To do so, you'll have to use the Log4net api via XmlConfigurator.Configure.
It is important not to apply the XmlConfiguratorAttribute; it's either one or the other.
The example below shows how to apply a configuration via an XmlElement.
The content of this XmlElement can be retrieved from anywhere; hardcoded, an embedded resource file, a record from a dabase, etc.
In the xml configuration, you declare any loggers that can be used within your Dynamics 365 environment.
string xml = #"
<log4net>
<appender name='consoleAppender' type='log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender' >
<layout type='log4net.Layout.PatternLayout'>
<conversionPattern value='%date | %logger | %level | %message | %exception%n' />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value='ALL' />
<appender-ref ref='consoleAppender' />
</root>
</log4net>";
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(xml);
XmlElement config = doc.DocumentElement;
ILoggerRepository repository = log4net.LogManager.GetRepository(Assembly.GetCallingAssembly());
XmlConfigurator.Configure(repository, config);
ILog logger = LogManager.GetLogger("somelog");
logger.Debug("foobar");
I am trying out a scenario where in I am able to generate the JSON logs and store them in database.
I have to use log4net as logging mechanism. So far I am able to achieve the log4net Json using the json formater as below.
<appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<param name="File" value="C:\\TestProj\\jsonlog.txt" />
<param name="AppendToFile" value="true" />
<param name="DatePattern" value="_yyyyMMddHH".log"" />
<param name="RollingStyle" value="Date" />
<param name="StaticLogFileName" value="false" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.SerializedLayout, log4net.Ext.Json">
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="ALL" />
<appender-ref ref="FileAppender" />
</root>
I also know how to insert the log4net logs into SQL using adonetappender.
However I am not able to figure out these two questions:
How to insert the json logs into sql server database.
How to insert the json logs into a no-sql database.
I think I got it. I use regular ado.net appender and then use json layout for one of the parameters. –
I think you are not storing your logs in to the actual json file, you are using jsonlog.txt which is a text file. If you want to store the jsonlogs to database you can configure log4net to do it for you. Take a look at this.
https://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/config-examples.html
Inserting into no-sql was the primary reason for SerializedLayout to happen. There's multiple ways this can be achieved, but you'll most likely want some intermediate processor for the logs. I can recommend logstash and nxlog. Logstash can easily store your files in elastic search then.
They can both retrieve logs from:
Files
Network
TCP
UDP
Syslog
Other options would be queues, like RabbitMQ or AMQP. I haven't played with those. It's up to your needs and resources with regards to availability and resilience.
With regards to formatting the JSON bunch, see the answer on another question of yours - https://stackoverflow.com/a/36169213/481812
I have attempted to use a log4net webserviceappender from within a crm 2011 plugin (sandboxed), log4net apparently gets installed along with the plugin correctly (exception if log4net config file is malformed), but apparently the appender doesn't get called. I can call the webservice directly from within the plugin, so that part is working, but can't figure out what might be wrong with log4net.
Does anyone know of a step by step for using log4net with crm and/or have a good idea as to why the webserviceappender doesn't get called?
Thanks
EDIT: Including log4net.config file upon request.

It looks like you have deployed the configuration file on disk. This is not the ideal place as you have to deal with different requirements for the different modules.
To simplify the deployment of plugins, which need additional configuration, you have the possibility to pass configuration values to the plugin constructor. You should pass the configuration and configure log4net at runtime. See how to write the plugin constructor.
Another option is to use the webressources of Dynamics CRM 2011. See this blog article which describes all available options.
I'm implementing a logging solution with Log4Net for a Windows NT Service. I can flip a switch in a configuration file to start logging information to the file system. So far I've been able to accomplish this by having a rolling file appender and having log4net "Watch" the configuration file.
What I've notice is that Log4Net will create empty log files as soon as the service starts, even if all logging is turned off and I don't intend to log.
I can't find much information on this topic other than this post:
How to disable creation of empty log file on app start?
My concern is that someone could set up the service with a very low level set of permissions that wouldn't even have access to create the log files on the file system. I don't want to incur the performance penalty of having exceptions thrown every time I hit a logging statement even if I didn't intend to log.
I've wrapped each logging statement with check to see if the logging level is enabled before attempting to log, but I'm still not sure if in the inner workings of log4net whether or not exceptions are going to still be thrown if the file configured in the appender wasn't created.
if (logger.IsDebugEnabled)
{
logger.DebugFormat(format, traceMessage);
}
Does anyone know what log4net will do if it can't create the log files initially?
Here is a little information about my configuration. Logging works fine when it is turned on, I'm just worried about permissions issues.
Attribute on my logging class to watch for config changes:
[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile = "Logging.config", Watch = true)]
Appender:
<appender name="Test" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file type="log4net.Util.PatternString" value=".\\AppLogs\\_test.%appdomain.log" />
<filter type="log4net.Filter.LevelRangeFilter">
<levelMin value="ALL" />
<levelMax value="FATAL" />
<acceptOnMatch value="false"/>
</filter>
<filter type="log4net.Filter.LoggerMatchFilter">
<loggerToMatch value="Test" />
</filter>
<appendToFile value="true" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
<maximumFileSize value="6MB" />
<rollingStyle value="Size" />
<staticLogFileName value="true" />
<filter type="log4net.Filter.DenyAllFilter" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level - %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
"My concern is that someone could set up the service with a very low level set of permissions that wouldn't even have access to create the log files on the file system. " - on service start up detect your minimum set of permisions required is present and throw an exception (or otherwise handle) if they are not.
I don't think this is a logging issue per se; it's more an issue of whether or not your service has its required permissions.
I'm using the automatic log rolling and compression facilitated by the TimeBasedRollingPolicy provided in Log4J Extras (see config below).
It is normal for the application which is doing this logging to be constantly stopping/starting and I've noticed that the automatic compression does not occur if the application is stopped during a rollover triggering event (hourly rollover in this case). I find this strange as the rolling itself (without compression) still occurs and seems to work fine.
Is it not possible to have log compression work for an application that does not run continuously?
Does anyone know how to get this working with Log4J?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">

The rollover process is only triggered by logging two messages that are in different time units (hours in the example) while the app is running. Past time units aren't scanned-for on app startup.
One thing you can do is use a separate "active" file name to be where all log messages go before they're rolled/zipped. If you do that, any existing active log file will be appended-to until another hour has gone by and then rolled into a gzipped, timestamped file. Unfortunately, this file's timestamp isn't checked on startup (at least in apache-log4j-extras 1.1), so the old hour's logs and new hour's logs will be together in the rolled file. But at least it'll be zipped!
<appender name="ROLL" class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<param name="File" value="/var/batchproc/logs/log4j_roll_active.log"/>
