Hi Simon.

The logging should be asynchronous, so it should not affect your request threads performance.

If you do want to disable it, just to be sure, I think you can do so in the log4net.config file. I can't remember the exact way of doing it, but maybe you can just comment out the rolling file appende target in there?

Thanks - you're right on both counts it is asynchronous and can be disabled by commenting out the following:

<root>
    <!--
    <priority value="INFO"/>
    <appender-ref ref="AsynchronousLog4NetAppender" />
    -->
</root>

It has led me towards an error in the log file though after changing the priority level to ERROR I see the following error occurring each page load:

At least that gives me another lead to follow!

Thanks Morten :)

In the umbracosettings.config you can also disable logging per type. For example:

<disabledLogTypes>
  <logTypeAlias>debug</logTypeAlias>
  <logTypeAlias>notfound</logTypeAlias>
  <logTypeAlias>open</logTypeAlias>
  <logTypeAlias>packagerinstall</logTypeAlias>
  <logTypeAlias>packageruninstall</logTypeAlias>
  <logTypeAlias>ping</logTypeAlias>
  <logTypeAlias>custom</logTypeAlias>
</disabledLogTypes>

Hi Jeroen,

I mentioned in my OP that the setting you mention may not be applicable as the following comment exists before it?

Now that we have Log4Net logging enabled, this section is only used for what gets logged to the umbracoLog table which currently logs items used in the audit trail and roll back scenarios.

I don't think you need to explicitly disable all of the log types like that now?

Thanks, Simon
