Shahar,

I don't think there are any design constraints. If you already have an implementation, just wrap it in an appender, and reference it from your logback.xml.

Thanks David. Actually we already have some sort of implementation in-house, but we're considering migrating to logback and I was wondering if there are any design constraints on using logback for NT event logging.

Shahar,

I wrote an NT event logger once, about ten years ago. It wasn't that hard, but it's got some weird constraints. For example you must define a finite number of event types in DLL that you register. Each event type has a template message and points for values to be inserted. Then log events just specify the type and the data points.

This doesn't map that well to logback, but it's not a big problem.

Also if you DLL gets deleted then you can read those messages that are of the types that the DLL registered.

I may have got the detail wrong, as it was a long time ago I looked at it. I'm sure it's all well documented in MSDN.

Is it by design? Is there a problem with writing an appender of this sort?

Hello Shahar,

No, there is not.

Hi,

Is there an appender which writes log event to the NT event log?
