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.
