Please take a look at Apache log4net[^]:

Quote:
The Apache log4net library is a tool to help the programmer output log statements to a variety of output targets. log4net is a port of the excellent Apache log4j™ framework to the Microsoft® .NET runtime. We have kept the framework similar in spirit to the original log4j while taking advantage of new features in the .NET runtime.

Features

Support for multiple frameworks
Output to multiple logging targets
Hierarchical logging architecture
XML Configuration
Dynamic Configuration
Logging Context
Proven architecture
Modular and extensible design
High performance with flexibility
