Add the below lines in WCF web.config file :
<system.diagnostics> <sources> <source name="System.ServiceModel.MessageLogging"> <listeners> <add name="messagesListner" type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener" initializeData="c:\logfolder\messages.svclog" /> </listeners> </source> </sources> </system.diagnostics> <system.serviceModel> <diagnostics> <messageLogging logEntireMessage="true" logMalformedMessages="false" logMessagesAtServiceLevel="true" logMessagesAtTransportLevel="false" maxMessagesToLog="3000" maxSizeOfMessageToLog="2000"/> </diagnostics> </system.serviceModel>
In WCF two types of source available
1. System.ServiceModel.MessageLogging
2. System.ServiceModel
In this post i used xmlwriter of tracing, you can use other types of listners also.
*Note : Use svcConfigEditor to edit the wcf config file.
