Limit number of XML errors stored in App_Data directory - possible?

[Grzegorz Wołoszyn]

Hello,

is there any possibility to set limit number of XML error files stored
in App_Data directory in web.config file?

No,. Your best option is to setup a scheduled task in Windows to archive and/or purge the directory on a regular basis.

Alternatively, you can inherit from the XmlFileErrorLog and override the Log method in your implementation to, for example, enjoy full control over your own purge policy.

Ok. Thank you. I think this could be a very nice feature.

Greetings,

I had the same desire and I put some code like this in
application_start

Sub DeleteElmahLogs()

Try
Dim fi As System.IO.FileInfo
Dim files() As String =
IO.Directory.GetFiles(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/
App_Data/"), "*.xml")

For Each myfile In files
fi = New System.IO.FileInfo(myfile)
' In my environment the 30 comes from my.settings
If fi.CreationTime < Today.AddDays(0 - 30) Then
fi.Delete()
End If
Next
Catch ex As Exception
ErrorSignal.FromCurrentContext().Raise(ex)
End Try
End Sub

Works OK, but would I would really want, and I would be happy to * try
to develop, is a purge log feature that could be configured like
this:

<errorLog type="Elmah.XmlFileErrorLog, Elmah" logPath="~/app_data"
purgeLogsBy="DayCreated" purgeLogsThreshold="30"/>

* I am kind of a new developer.... spent years as a tester.
