log4net under Windows 10

[Dan Winsor]

Hi all,

Apologies if this has already been answered, but I poked around and wasn't able to find anything.  I'm building out a new CCNet machine running Windows 10.  I ported my config files from a prior Win7 based machine, so they should be sane, but when I start up the console, I get the following error:

log4net:ERROR XmlHierarchyConfigurator: Could not create Appender [EventLogAppender] of type [log4net.Appender.EventLogAppender]. Reported error follows.

System.Security.SecurityException: The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched.  Inaccessible logs: Security.

   at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.FindSourceRegistration(String source, String machineName, Boolean readOnly)

   at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.SourceExists(String source, String machineName)

   at log4net.Appender.EventLogAppender.ActivateOptions()

   at log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.XmlHierarchyConfigurator.ParseAppender(XmlElement appenderElement)

The Zone of the assembly that failed was:

MyComputer

log4net:ERROR XmlHierarchyConfigurator: Appender named [EventLogAppender] not found.

I'm not sure if this has to do with execution permissions by the user that owns the console or exactly what that means.  Any pointers would be appreciated.

Hi

this has to do with security on the eventlog.

If you google for The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched.  Inaccessible logs: Security

you'll find the answer

basically is means that the current user does not have the right to create a new source name in the eventlog.

running the service as an admin user, or as local system should solve it.

with kind regards

Spot on, thanks.  We prefer to run it as a console, so logs are quick to view.  A quick setting to run as administrator for the shortcut fixed it.  Thanks for the thought.
