Logging Application Block

Microsoft released a new application block entitled the Logging Application Block that builds on the Enterprise Instrumentation Framework (EIF).

The logging block provides extensions to the EIF architecture that help to address the common usage scenarios for logging. These include:

  • Formatting of event information
  • Configurable log levels
  • Enhanced information in the published events
  • Asynchronous logging
  • Reliable logging
  • Centralized logging
  • Request tracing for Web services
  • Metering for Web services
  • EIF publisher for Exception Management Block

Sounds quite interesting, doesn't it? The question is: where do I get EIF?

Update: EIF is now available as a free public download.
Update: changed the link to point to the block home page, rather than the dowload page.

"EIF will be available for download on MSDN. EIF is available for download for use with Visual Studio .NET 2003 by users who are MSDN Universal subscribers."

Looks like it's not generally available yet, which seems bizarre when the Logging Application Block is.

EIF *was* subscriber-only until last week, when they quietly released a new version to the MS Download Center: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=73ed46ad-d5eb-4c61-9272-250a3d62a8de

Download that they removed promptly, Mike. The link you give does not work anymore.

I will look at this.. (I was the one of the devs on the logging block). It was supposed to be linked, but guess that did not happen. Sorry about that.
