system diagnostic trace listeners

Question

Hello!

I have some Trace.TraceInformation statements in my WCF service. I would like to obtain both the WCF trace (System.ServiceModel) as well as the output from my Trace statements. The only way I can figure out how to do this is by creating two log files (see below). Is there a way to have my Trace statements included in the svclog xml file created by the XmlWriterTraceListener?

------my web.config----

  <system.diagnostics>
     <trace autoflush="true" indentsize="4">
      
        <!-- log TRACE messages-->
        <listeners>
          <add name="lcars_listener" type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener" initializeData="e:\logs\lcars.services.configuration.log" /> 
           <remove name="Default" />  
        </listeners>   
      
    </trace>
 
      <!-- log WCF traffic/messages -->
      <sources>            
          <source name="System.ServiceModel"   
                  switchValue="Information, ActivityTracing"  
                  propagateActivity="true">  
            <listeners>  
              <add name="lcars_listener" /> 
              <remove name="Default"/>
            </listeners>  
        </source>  
      </sources>  
    
      <sharedListeners>  
        <add name="lcars_listener"   
          type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener"   
          initializeData="e:\logs\lcars.services.configuration.svclog">  
        </add>  
    </sharedListeners>   
  </system.diagnostics>

Hi,

  

On my side, when I use the shared listeners to log TraceStatement and WCF trace, it works properly.

<system.serviceModel>
    <diagnostics>
      <messageLogging logEntireMessage="true" logMessagesAtTransportLevel="true" logMessagesAtServiceLevel="true"></messageLogging>
    </diagnostics>
  </system.serviceModel>
  <system.diagnostics>
    <trace autoflush="true" indentsize="4">
      <listeners>
        <add name="xmllog"/>
      </listeners>
    </trace>
    <sources>
      <source name="System.ServiceModel"
                       switchValue="Information, ActivityTracing"
                       propagateActivity="true">
        <listeners>
          <add name="xmllog"/>
        </listeners>
      </source>
    </sources>
    <sharedListeners>
      <add name="xmllog" type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener"  initializeData="mylog.svclog"/>
    </sharedListeners>
  </system.diagnostics>

Result.

Feel free to let me know if there is anything I can help with.
Best Regards
