I want to be able to receive emails when errors occurs in my application, with detailed information about the Exception and the current Request. In my company we used to have our own error log in ErrorMailer, catching everything in the Global.asax Application_Error. It was "Ok" but not very flexible nor configurable. We swithed recently to NLog. It's much more configurable, we can define different targets for the errors, filter them, buffer them (not tried yet). It's a very good improvement. But I discovered lately that there's a whole Namespace in the .Net framework for this purpose : System.Web.Management and it can be configured in the healthMonitoring section of web.config. Have you ever worked with .Net health monitoring? What is your solution for error logging? Thanks, Vincent asp.net error-handling nlog health-monitoring share|improve this question edited Jan 23 '09 at 9:45 edosoft 9,6772063103 asked Aug 15 '08 at 4:05 Costo 2,84762235 I've also seen System.Web.Management, but I've never used it. I'd love to hear any feedback on whether it works well. –Ben Mills Dec 4 '08 at 22:00 add a comment| 8 Answers 8 active oldest votes up vote 25 down vote accepted I use elmah.

In order to know what is the problem, I want to find the log file and examine it. Where is the location of the ASP.NET Server log file? I couldn't find it in event viewer, so I don't know where else to look asp.net log-files asp.net-mvc share|improve this question asked Dec 1 '09 at 3:57 Graviton 91572446 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 13 down vote accepted ASP.NET uses IIS logging, so it's really an IIS question. Though there is some detailed info in Event Viewer for some types of events. In IIS6 (and prior), this is located in %SystemRoot%\system32\logfiles, and in IIS7, this is located in %SystemDrive%\inetpub\logs\LogFiles. In both cases, it will be placed in a subfolder called W3SVC{Id}. The Id is the site Id. You can find it by clicking on "Web Sites" in IIS Manager and the site ID will show in that view. share|improve this answer edited Oct 8 '15 at 2:34 Graviton 91572446 answered Dec 1 '09 at 5:43 Scott Forsyth - MVP 13.7k22346 +1 for a more complete answer than my own.

Error status codes are logged (e.g. 500) but that only tells you that an error occured. It doesn't provide further info. Details would need to be found in Event Viewer. Consider an error logging framework like ELHAM or Log2Net for the best error logging and not
