how to add configuration for log4net (or any other 3rd party library) in ASP.NET 5.0
Recently I had the same problem with log4net. I managed to do it working as following:
Create log4net.xml file containing the configuration section for log4net
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><log4net>...</log4net>You can put the file in the project root folder.
And in the Startup.Startup() method you can configure the log4net providing the xml as a configuration:
public Startup(IApplicationEnvironment appEnv){ // ... XmlConfigurator.Configure(new FileInfo(Path.Combine(appEnv.ApplicationBasePath, "log4net.xml")));}I hope this helps.
Current versions of log4net don't support Json projects, so the config needs to be in a separate xml file.
