What's wrong with my log4net config file -

i have config file 2 appenders, 1 file appender , 1 database appender. want log file appender, , log exceptions database appender. when setting both appenders in section logs fine log events sent both appenders, not want.

i changed configuration current configuration, exceptions logged database, , nothing getting written file appender. can tell me why not getting written file appender?

<log4net debug="true">     <appender name="rollinglogfileappender" type="log4net.appender.rollingfileappender">       <file value="c:\log4net\workflow\testlog.txt" />       <threshold value="all" />       <appendtofile value="true" />       <rollingstyle value="size" />       <maxsizerollbackups value="10" />       <maximumfilesize value="10kb" />       <staticlogfilename value="true" />       <layout type="log4net.layout.patternlayout">         <conversionpattern value="%-5p {%logger} %d %5rms %-22.22c{1} %-18.18m - %m%n" />       </layout>     </appender>     <appender name="adonetappender" type="log4net.appender.adonetappender">       <!-- removed keep snippet simple-->     </appender>     <root>       <level value="error" />       <appender-ref ref="adonetappender" />     </root>     <logger name="alllogs">         <level value="all" />         <appender-ref ref="rollinglogfileappender" />           </logger>    </log4net> 

what have here following:

• all logs events level error or more go adonetappender
• all logs events originating logger name based on alllogs go rollinglogfileappender

from understand want logs default file, , error ones go database. add both appenders root logger both events, , add filters let filters you're interested in pass through: level range filter on database appender work

<log4net debug="true">      <appender name="rollinglogfileappender" type="log4net.appender.rollingfileappender">         <!-- rest of config snipped save space -->     </appender>     <appender name="adonetappender" type="log4net.appender.adonetappender">         <filter type="log4net.filter.levelrangefilter">             <levelmin value="error" />             <levelmax value="fatal" />         </filter>         <!-- rest of config snipped save space -->     </appender>      <root>         <appender-ref ref="adonetappender" />         <appender-ref ref="rollinglogfileappender" />        </root> </log4net> 

of course if don't want duplicate filter errors , above in rolling file appender
