Adding Log4Net.ElasticSearh via Nuget about log4net.elasticsearch

@wpearson4 Can you post your log4net configuration here? It would be your app.config or your separate log4net xml config file. Whichever you're using.

I have fixed the problem. I need to change the reference to the following:
appender name="ElasticSearchAppender" type="log4net.ElasticSearch.ElasticSearchAppender, log4net.ElasticSearch.Net40"

One last question currently I send json serialized string as the message. It appears though elasticsearch only recognizes it as a string. Does log4net.elasticsearch support sending the message as json

@wpearson4 glad you got it working! That's what I was going to look for if you posted your config here.

For adding custom information to the message object, I would highly recommend using a custom exception class which is a very common practice. You can see an example of how to do that here: https://gist.github.com/jptoto/9be57ce2fe253eb96739

Then the ES docs will look like this and you can query on them the same way:
