How to add processid to log4net layout?
I'm gonna use log4net
in my wpf
application. And I need messages in my log looks like this:
11/8/2018 10:49:38 AM 13 (5368) properties disabled.
where 13
is processId
which writes this message. So it's pretty easy. But unfortunately I can't achieve this. So I just need an appropriate pattern layout for my log4net
logger.
I've found the following message in faq section of log4net
official site:
The following example sets the file name for a
FileAppender
to include
the current process id by specifying the%processid
pattern in the
File property.
<appender name="LogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
<file type="log4net.Util.PatternString" value="log-file-[%processid].txt" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout" value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger - %message%newline" />
</appender>
So and it works but only for file name not for layout in my log file. And I need to put this %processid
into my layout. And my current layout is:
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date{dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss,fff tt} %processid (%thread) - %message%newline" />
</layout>
And my log just writes processid
string to my log file.
22/11/2018 16:21:51,863 PM processid (1) - Exiting application.
I've also found a SO answer. And it works. But %processid
property is initialized only once during startup. And in my app the writing proсes is often changes. So this solution is not suitable for me. And I guess it could be achieved by default log4net
layout settings.
The other option is using type="log4net.Util.PatternString"
as a type of my conversionPattern
. But it is not suitable as well(if I use this type - type="log4net.Util.PatternString"
- in conversionPattern
then %threadId
, %level
and even %message
will be printed as string constants).

and %processid

Can you try usingThreadContext

You can implement a custom PatternLayoutConverter
which outputs the process Id.
Doing so, you don't have to have to set and track the Id of the running process.
namespace PFX
{
class ProcessIdPatternLayoutConverter : PatternLayoutConverter
{
protected override void Convert(TextWriter writer, LoggingEvent loggingEvent)
{
Int32 processId = Process.GetCurrentProcess().Id;
writer.Write(processId);
}
}
}
You then reference this PatternLayoutConverter
in your Log4net
config via its fully qualified assembly name as below.
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<converter>
<name value="processid" />
<type value="PFX.ProcessIdPatternLayoutConverter, PFX.Lib" />
</converter>
<conversionPattern value="%date{dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss,fff tt} %processid (%thread) - %message%newline" />
</layout>

@pfx actually it's not a duplicate.My original question had a link to that SO answer as well as explanation why it's not suitable for me. I have a bit different purpose.
%processid
has to be printed in my log file in each line. And it should be printed with the other parameter(%threadId
,%level
etc).Sotype="log4net.Util.PatternString"
is not suitable as well(if I use this type -type="log4net.Util.PatternString"
- inconversionPattern
%threadId
,%level'
will be printed as string constants). So I need both%threadId
