How can I enable logging for an NServiceBus Generic Host - log4net

Question

I didn't want to make the title too long but this question specifically refers to running an NServiceBus Generic Host as a Windows Service (thanks to TopShelf) configured to run as Local System (on a Vista machine)
In a previous question I explain why I decided to adapt the PubSub sample to run as a Windows Service so that I can easily stop and start the service to fully prove to myself that NServiceBus was doing what it was supposed to do.
For some reason I can't get Log4Net to log anything to disk, so this could well just be a Log4Net (newbie) configuration problem?
Below is my brute-force attempt to get some sort of tracing going - all I'm getting so far is files writen as follows:
C:\logs\<-GUID->log4net.log
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="MsmqTransportConfig" type="NServiceBus.Config.MsmqTransportConfig, NServiceBus.Core" />
<section name="UnicastBusConfig" type="NServiceBus.Config.UnicastBusConfig, NServiceBus.Core" />
<sectionGroup name="common">
<section name="logging" type="Common.Logging.ConfigurationSectionHandler, NServiceBus.Core"/>
</sectionGroup>
<section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler,log4net"/>
</configSections>
<!-- in order to configure remote endpoints use the format: "queue#machine"
input queue must be on the same machine as the process feeding off of it.
error queue can (and often should) be on a different machine.

Answer 1

NSB will not pick up log settings from config files as default. To do this implement IConfigureLogging in your endpoint config class.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

It looks as if your other two appenders are throwing exceptions while trying to log. I suspect the %property{NDC} in your patterns - remove them from the pattern and try again.
If your pattern contains %property{X} then you need to set a property with key "X" using code such as
ABC.Properties["X"] = /* some value */
where ABC is either a LoggingEvent instance or ThreadContext or GlobalContext.
I don't know if you've set properties with key "NDC", but I suspect not...
