The SqLiteTarget uses and ODBC connection string to connect to your SQlite database. It automatically creates a logging table on startup with the name of tblLog if it does not exist. It automatically discards oldest entries after reaching a default of 10,000 log messages. This behavior can be overridden.
It has these properties that can be configured:
- Name - Defaults to SqLiteTarget
- LoggingMode - Defines which mode to use for the target; Synchronous, Buffered, or Asynchronous. The default is Synchronous.
- MessageFormat - What to output in the log. See the Message Format topic for more information.
- DateFormat - The date format for the %LogTime% variable in the MessageFormat. See the Date Format topic for more information.
- MinimumLevel - The minimum logging level to log a message.
- AssemblyNameFilter - If specified, only log for a specific assembly name. See the Filtering topic.
- NamespaceFilter - If specified, only log for a specific namespace. See the Filtering topic.
- ClassNameFilter - If specified, only log for a specific class name. See the Filtering topic.
- MethodNameFilter - If specified, only log for a specific method name. See the Filtering topic.
- ThreadNameFilter - If specified, logging will only occur for the thread id or thread name specified. See the Filtering topic.
- UserNameFilter - If specified, logging will only occur for the specific user name. See the Filtering topic.
- MachineNameFilter - If specified, logging will only occur for the specific machine name. See the Filtering topic.
- BufferSize - When a logging target has a Mode of Buffered, this is how often messages are committed. See the Buffered Logging topic.
- ConnectionString - Get or set the connection string.
- TableName - Get or set the table name. Defaults to tblLog
- MaxEntries - Discard the oldest entries that are greater than MaxEntries. Set to zero to disable.
- AutoCreateTable - If true, the logging table will be automatically created if it does not exist when the first message is logged.
