24/7 operation

Hi,

I would like to know if NLog is suited for 24/7 operation? Could you exchange your experiences with NLog please? I saw a message about exceptions thrown by the RichTextBox, for example, so I'm a bit concerned. Are those issues fixed or is it a bad idea to use NLog? Is the project still active?

I know many big organizations have been using NLog in production 24/7 for at least 2 years now, using more than basic logging scenarios (e.g. auto-archival, concurrent multiprocess writes). So far I haven't heard of NLog causing any stability issues.

Hi,

Nice to hear that. I first thought of using other libraries but there were some drawbacks, for example no COM interop, no windows forms targets and no external viewers (via udp etc.). NLog seems to have all those features. Great work!

Another question: I'm looking for an external viewer and tried NLogViewer which seems to be work in progress. Will you continue working on that? I also tried to use apache-chainsaw but it would not work.
