Detailed Description

NTEventLogAppender is an Appender that sends LoggingEvents to the Windows event log.

Building log4cpp.dsp/log4cppDLL.dsp creates the resource DLL NTEventLogAppender.dll. Do not forget to place this DLL in a directory that is on the PATH of the Windows system. Otherwise, the category and message will not display correctly in Event Viewer.
NB: This class is only available on Win32 platforms.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

log4cpp::NTEventLogAppender::NTEventLogAppender (const std::string & name, const std::string & sourceName)

Instantiate an NTEventLogAppender with given name and source.

Parameters

name The name of the Appender
sourceName The source name to log

log4cpp::NTEventLogAppender::~NTEventLogAppender () [virtual]

Member Function Documentation

void log4cpp::NTEventLogAppender::_append (const LoggingEvent & event) [protected], [virtual]

Sends a LoggingEvent to NT Event log.

Parameters

event the LoggingEvent to log.

Implements log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

void log4cpp::NTEventLogAppender::addRegistryInfo (const char * source) [protected]

void log4cpp::NTEventLogAppender::close () [virtual]

Release any resources allocated within the appender such as file handles, network connections, etc.

Implements log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

WORD log4cpp::NTEventLogAppender::getCategory (Priority::Value priority) [protected]

Convert log4cpp Priority to an EventLog category. Each category is backed by a message resource so that proper category names will be displayed in the NT Event Viewer.

WORD log4cpp::NTEventLogAppender::getType (Priority::Value priority) [protected]

Convert log4cpp Priority to an EventLog type. The log4cpp package supports 8 defined priorites, but the NT EventLog only knows 3 event types of interest to us: ERROR, WARNING, and INFO.

void log4cpp::NTEventLogAppender::open () [protected], [virtual]

HKEY log4cpp::NTEventLogAppender::regGetKey (TCHAR * subkey, DWORD * disposition) [protected]

void log4cpp::NTEventLogAppender::regSetDword (HKEY hkey, TCHAR * name, DWORD value) [protected]

void log4cpp::NTEventLogAppender::regSetString (HKEY hkey, TCHAR * name, TCHAR * value) [protected]

bool log4cpp::NTEventLogAppender::reopen () [virtual]

Calls open() and close()

Reimplemented from log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

bool log4cpp::NTEventLogAppender::requiresLayout () const [virtual]

The NTEventLogAppender does its own Layout.

Returns

false

Implements log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.

void log4cpp::NTEventLogAppender::setLayout (Layout * layout) [virtual]

Set the Layout for this appender.

Parameters
