Currently, I am writing an Ant Script that removes the signatures of signed Jar files.
Removing the signature for a single jar file was successful using the script below.
<project name="unsign">
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties" classpath="ant-lib/ant-contrib-0.6.jar" />
<property name="jarPath" location="C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\tempDir" />
<property name="resultPath" location="C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\tempDir-result" />
<target name="unsignJar">
<unsignjar jarFile="${jarPath}/com.google.guava_15.0.0.v201403281430.jar" />
</target>
<macrodef name="unsignjar" description="Unsign a jar file">
<attribute name="jarfile" description="Jar file to unsign " />
<sequential>
<copy toFile="#{jarFile}_MANIFEST.tmp">
<resources>
<zipentry zipfile="#{jarFile}" name="META-INF/MANIFEST.MF" />
</resources>
</copy>
<replaceregexp file="#{jarFile}_MANIFEST.tmp" match="\nName:(.+?)\nSH" replace="SH" flags="gis" byline="false" />
<replaceregexp file="#{jarFile}_MANIFEST.tmp" match="SHA(.*)" replace="" flags="gis" byline="false" />
<jar jarfile="#{jarFile}.tmp" manifest="#{jarFile}_MANIFEST.tmp">
<zipfileset src="#{jarFile}">
<include name="**" />
<exclude name="META-INF/*.SF" />
<exclude name="META-INF/*.DSA" />
<exclude name="META-INF/*.RSA" />
</zipfileset>
</jar>
<!-- Removing the temporary manifest -->
<delete file="#{jarFile}_MANIFEST.tmp" />
<!-- Swapping the original Jar file with the temporary one -->
<move file="#{jarFile}.tmp" tofile="#{jarFile}" overwrite="true" />
</sequential>
</macrodef>
</project>
I'm trying to write to a file with fileName based on scopeproperty:
<target xsi:type="File" name="errorsLogFile" fileName="c:\inor_logs\${scopeproperty:domainName}\error-${shortdate}.log"
layout="" />
<target xsi:type="File" name="requestBegin" fileName="c:\inor_logs\${scopeproperty:domainName}\request-begin-${shortdate}.log"
layout="" />
I have those rules:
<rules>
<!--All logs, including from Microsoft-->
<logger name="*" minlevel="Error" writeTo="errorsLogFile" />
<logger name="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Diagnostics" minlevel="Info" writeTo="requestBegin">
<filters defaultAction="Ignore">
<when condition="contains('${message}','starting') and (contains('${uppercase:${aspnet-request-method}}','POST') or contains('${uppercase:${aspnet-request-method}}','PUT') or contains('${uppercase:${aspnet-request-method}}','DELETE'))" action="Log" />
</filters>
</logger>
</rules>
The first file is getting ${scopeproperty:domainName}'s value and works correctly.
But the second file target requestBegin is getting an empty value for ${scopeproperty:domainName}!
Hello Everyone,
I am new to the elk stack and trying to do logging using elastic search. I want to create different index for different different services in api. I am able to create two indexes of different services but can not do the same for third index.

As you can see above indexes aquaparallelapi and aquaparallelapiprogress is created and gives the desired result but index aquaparallelapitestcase is not created. When I tried to do

then

Please let me know where I am wrong?
I am trying to log some information to database, but being kind of new to nlog config ( until now the default config from Tutorials worked fine) I am not sure what I am missing from my config to work.
I get this error when I app starts

I know for a fact the problem is somewhere in line 28, layout of db connection.
layout="${longdate}|${level:uppercase=true}|${logger}|${message}|identity:${identity}|windows-identity:${windows-identity}"
If I remove this line however I get an other error
"LayoutRenderer cannot be found: 'windows-identity'"
It feels like an obvious problem, however search the internet I could not find a solution. Anyone with more experience in NLog, can you share an example of DB Logging that uses Windows-Auth for db logging and not a username/password in connection string.
I've also tried ( added '' to windows-identity, but that didn't work either )
layout="${longdate}|${level:uppercase=true}|${logger}|${message}|identity: '${identity}' | windows-identity: '${windows-identity}'"
Edit:
Updated config

So it turns out the layout is not working. I removed it and app would start with no erros. However I still had to add a rule in order to make logs in db. Here is the working version of the nlog file.

The NLog Database-Target doesn't have a Layout-property, that can be assigned. Instead use input parameter-collection.
WindowsIdentity-nuget-package is required for ${windows-identity} on NetCore, and must be included:
<extensions>
<add assembly="NLog.Web.AspNetCore"/>
<add assembly="NLog.WindowsIdentity"/>
</extensions>
Maybe you are looking for ${environment-user} ?

To generate production builds for said projects in our build server we build them like so:
<MSBuild Projects="$(_solutionFile)"
Targets="$(TargetProject)"
Properties="Platform=$(Platform);OutputPath=$(PublishUrl);Configuration=$(Configuration);"
ToolsVersion="15.0"
/>
As shown above we employ
<Disable_CopyWebApplication>True</Disable_CopyWebApplication>
Still the _PublishedWebsite folder does get created anyways. What could we be missing here?
UPDATE
According to the debugging statements we placed in our .csproj file the "Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" which gets employed during the build is this one:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v15.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets"
The internal task which copies the "website" (exe in our case) is this:
<Target Name="_CopyWebApplication"
Condition="!$(Disable_CopyWebApplication) And '$(OutDir)' != '$(OutputPath)'"
DependsOnTargets="$(_CopyWebApplicationDependsOn)">
<CallTarget Condition="'$(OnAfter_CopyWebApplication)' != ''" Targets="$(OnAfter_CopyWebApplication)" RunEachTargetSeparately="true" />
</Target>
This task appears to be working as intended because it turns out that _PublishedWebsite doesn't contain any of the compiled dlls of the exe-project. It contains only the roslyn dlls/exes with the following folder structure:
<Project_Output_Folder>\_PublishedWebsites\<Project.Name.Here>\bin\roslyn
I take it that the inclusion of the nuget packages:
Microsoft.Net.Compilers
and/or
Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform
is what's causing the problem. The nuget packages being used are these:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<packages>
<package id="EntityFramework" version="6.2.0" targetFramework="net471" allowedVersions="[6.2.0]" />
<package id="Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform" version="1.0.8" targetFramework="net471" allowedVersions="[1.0.8]" />
<package id="Microsoft.Net.Compilers" version="2.6.1" targetFramework="net471" developmentDependency="true" allowedVersions="[2.6.1]" />
<package id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="10.0.3" targetFramework="net471" allowedVersions="[10.0.3]" />
<package id="Oracle.ManagedDataAccess" version="12.2.1100" targetFramework="net471" allowedVersions="[12.2.1100]" />
<package id="Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework" version="12.2.1100" targetFramework="net471" allowedVersions="[12.2.1100]" />
<package id="StructureMap" version="4.6.1" targetFramework="net471" allowedVersions="[4.6.1]" />
<package id="System.Reflection.Emit.Lightweight" version="4.3.0" targetFramework="net471" allowedVersions="[4.3.0]" />
</packages>
So I guess the question boils down to how can one make the Compilers package respect the dont-copy flag we are setting?
