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: layout  The layout to use. Implements log4cpp::AppenderSkeleton.
