Infrastructure decision: Which Log Framework you would prefer to work in your .NET application?

Hi All,

I want to hear your opinion on which log framework you would prefer? log4net, Enterprise Library log or maybe different log framework.

I already have an opinion but it would be great to see your comments on this issue.

Thanks,

Rotem

Hi Rotem,

Both Log4Net and Logging application block (enterprise library) are good frameworks. I prefer to use the logging application block because of few things - config tool, extensibility, easy to use, the integration with the other application blocks. Even so the Log4Net framework is good and can be very useful in a lot of situations. So I suggest to choose the framework that you are comfortable with.

i recommend nlog which has the same API as log4net.

i wouldn't recommend using application blocks if your about to work with multi threads and\or process

I strongly recommend using built-in healthmonitoring for Web Based Apps - ASP.NET, Web Services, and WCF

Hi All,

Thanks for your comments. I agree with Alik comment regards the built-in healthmonitoring that ASP.NET offers. This is really great solution for logging but if you still want to work with one of the logging framework out there. I prefer the log4net that is much faster and has better performance then MS Enterprise Library log application block (At least on 3.1 version).

I would glad to see more comments on this issue, Bye Rotem.
