Log4NetCMTraceCore 1.0.0.2

1. Create an instance of the log4net.ILog class by copy/pastin the line on line 3 at the beginning of your class or program

static log4net.ILog log = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);

2. load the logging.config file that configures the different logging options, more information in regards to the logging.config is specified below. To do so copy/paste line 8 to be one of the first lines of the entry point of your program.

log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(new System.IO.FileInfo("Logging.config"));

3. Start logging using the comments log.Warn("Generated Warning message"); log.WarnFormat("Generated Warning message {0}","Using format string"); log.Info("Generated info message"); log.InfoFormat("Generated info message {0}","Using format string"); log.Error("Generated Error message"); log.ErrorFormat("Generated Error message {0}","Using format string"); log.Info("Generated info message"); log.InfoFormat("Generated info message {0}","Using format string"); log.Debug("Generated debug message"); log.DebugFormat("Generated debug message {0}","Using format string");

This Nuget package contains a sample logging.Config that logs in CMtrace format. There are a couple of variables you can use in the logging.config file regarding the location where the logfile will be saved. The location

The conversion pattern line <conversionPattern value="%adminuilog%programname.log" /> contains the location where the logfile will be generated.

This line accepts 3 variables that are prepended with the % character %ccmlog = contains the folder where the SCCM client writes its logfiles, typically windows\ccm\logs, but different on an mp, and potentially different if you chose to install the client elsewhere than windows\ccm %adminuilog = folder containing smsadminui.log provided you have the Configuration Manager admin ui installed.

%programname = Name of your program to be used as the dynamic file name of the log
