PostLog

PostLog is an appender for log4net designed to submit log messages via HTTP.

Configuration

PostLog's HttpAppender is configured in the log4net app.config section. Several options are available.

• uri The location to send the HTTP Request
• method The HTTP method to be used (defaults to POST)
• useragent The value of the useragent header
• formatterType The IBodyFormatter implementation to serialize logs

Also, you must add parameter tags for each value that is sent.

Example

    <log4net>
      <appender name="HttpAppender" type="PostLog.HttpAppender">
        <uri value="http://localhost:34343/log" />
        <formatterType value="PostLog.JsonBodyFormatter, PostLog"/>
