Log4net event log full

Question

I am using log4net event log appender to log to event viewer and after I am getting the following exception:

Unable to write to event log using source source name Win32exception event log is full.

    <appender name="EventLogAppender" type="log4net.Appender.EventLogAppender">
          <filter type="log4net.Filter.LevelRangeFilter">
            <param name="LevelMin" value="ERROR"/>
            <param name="LevelMax" value="ERROR"/>
          </filter>
          <!--The name of the application-->
          <applicationName value="eventsource"/>
          <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
            <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%property{NDC}] - %message%newline"/>
          </layout>
    </appender>

Could you please let me know what will be the workaround for this? Thanks, Ajai

Right click the event name,go to properties ..check the appropriate option for "When maximum event log size is reached...

Answer 2

The error should be clear enough, your event log is full - so you gotta do something about that.

Either increase the size of your event log, or delete/clean up old events,
