Recently, I wan't to enable WCF message logging for troubleshooting. However, the configuration posted on MSDN site doesn't work for me, neither log file was generated nor error returned.
Finally, I tried a lucky configuration section from my collegue. Then, all things comes back, the settings which didn't work earlier works very well now. It is relly weird.
The lucky section:
<configuration> <system.serviceModel> <diagnostics> <messageLogging maxMessagesToLog="30000" logEntireMessage="true" logMessagesAtServiceLevel="true" logMalformedMessages="true" logMessagesAtTransportLevel="true"> </messageLogging> </diagnostics> </system.serviceModel> <system.diagnostics> <sources> <source name="System.ServiceModel" switchValue="Verbose, ActivityTracing" propagateActivity="true" > <listeners> <add name="xml" /> </listeners> </source> <source name="System.ServiceModel.MessageLogging" switchValue="Verbose"> <listeners> <add name="xml" /> </listeners> </source> </sources> <sharedListeners> <add name="xml" type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener" initializeData="C:\service.svclog" /> </sharedListeners> <trace autoflush="true" /> </system.diagnostics> </configuration>
