Sentry.Log4Net 1.0.0-rc

Configuration

Once the log4net integration package is installed on your project, you can modify your configuration file to add the appender. This can be done, for example, via the app.config or web.config in case of ASP.NET.

  <appender name="SentryAppender" type="Sentry.Log4Net.SentryAppender, Sentry.Log4Net">
      <Dsn value="dsn"/>
      
      <SendIdentity value="true" />
      <threshold value="INFO" />
    </appender>

For how it's done in this sample, please refer to sample app.config.

The example above defines the DSN so that the SentryAppender is able to initialize the SDK.

This is only one of the options. If you wish to configure the SDK manually in the app before creating the logging integration, you could leave the DSN out of the log4net configuration file and call:

SentrySdk.Init("DSN");

One of the advantages of this approach is that you can pass multiple configurations via the Init method.

Bottom line is that the SDK needs to be initialized only once so you can choose where the initialization will happen. Other integrations (like ASP.NET) also is able to initialize the SDK. Make sure you pass the DSN to only one of these integrations, or if you are calling Init by yourself, there's no need to pass the DSN to the integration.

Please refer to the sample to see it in action.
