My Favorite System.Net trace configuration file dumps Process ID and Date Time Information
Often you need to correlate a .NET trace with a Netmon trace. To do that you need the date and time of the call from the System.Net trace. This will do it!
NOTE: This section is configures where the log file is and where it should be written: initializeData="System.Net.trace.log"
Specify the path and file name and make sure the process running has permissions to write that file in the location you specify!
<configuration>
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true" />
<sources>
<source name="System.Net">
<listeners>
<add name="System.Net"/>
</listeners>
</source>
<source name="System.Net.HttpListener">
<listeners>
<add name="System.Net"/>
</listeners>
</source>
<source name="System.Net.Sockets">
<listeners>
<add name="System.Net"/>
</listeners>
</source>
<source name="System.Net.Cache">
<listeners>
<add name="System.Net"/>
</listeners>
</source>
</sources>
<sharedListeners>
<add
name="System.Net"
type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="System.Net.trace.log"
traceOutputOptions = "ProcessId, DateTime"
/>
</sharedListeners>
<switches>
<add name="System.Net" value="Verbose" />
<add name="System.Net.Sockets" value="Verbose" />
<add name="System.Net.Cache" value="Verbose" />
<add name="System.Net.HttpListener" value="Verbose" />
</switches>
</system.diagnostics>
</configuration>
Hint. If Verbose is too verbose you can change that value to one of these:
Critical, Error, Verbose, Warning, and Information.
