I have a project in my solution that runs several different background jobs using Hangfire. I would like to be able to specify a different log file to be created using Log4Net based on the background job that is running.
For example; job 1 does validation checks across a database and job 2 synchronizes data from a 3rd party app into another database
I have several appenders specified in the config file but all log files get created when I run job 1 or job 2. I want a log file only to be created per job e.g. when I run Job 1 log file job1.xml gets created and not job2.xml and vice versa
Is there any way of specifying the appender only? In the below example I want the file c:\logging\testing\jobs3-%date{ddMMMyyyy-hhmmss}.xml to be created only not the others
XmlConfigurator.Configure();
log4net.ILog log = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger("xmlFile2");
