    How to log directly to UmbracoTraceLog.txt

    Hi guys,

    I'm slightly confused about how error logging works in umbraco, I am assuming there is not a huge difference between V6 and V7?

    If I have a problem on an umbraco website the first place I usually look is UmbracoTraceLog.txt, 9 out of 10 times I will usally find out what the problem is.

    The other place to look is in the umbracoLog db table.

    I have got some complex code running in a gathering node data event, if I get an exception, I want to log this.

    My first instinct is to store this in the UmbracoTraceLog.txt file , its easy to get to, open in txt editor, etc etc.

    After a bit of googling, I still don't quite understand when something is logged to the db and when something is logged to the UmbracoTraceLog.txt file.

    For my scenario I just want to log to UmbracoTraceLog.txt and not the db, can someone please explain how I can do this.

    Thanks Ayo

    Hi Ayo,

    In your view you can put 

    @using Umbraco.Core.Logging; 
@{
        LogHelper.Info(this.GetType(), "My Custom Message);  
 }

    And that will be logged in UmbracoTraceLog.txt.

    Hope it helps
