4.2  Diagnosing Without Downtime via log4net 

log4net is an application logging framework for the .NET platform, originally ported from the popular log4j framework for Java. Application logging serves two main purposes: to aid in application development and testing, and to enable runtime monitoring and diagnosis of applications in production.

log4net provides a mechanism for standardized, runtime-configurable application logging with minimal impact on application development and runtime performance.
