I want to use below code with a website. Which config sections I should add to web.config to log the output into a file or windows eventlog ?
using System.Diagnostics;
// Singleton in real code
Class Logger
{
// In constructor: Trace.AutoFlush = false;
public void Log(message)
{
String formattedLog = formatLog(message);
Trace.TraceInformation(formattedLog);
Trace.Flush();
}
}

Method 1
You should use system.diagnostics section.
Here’s example from MSDN for text file:
<configuration>
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="false" indentsize="4">
<listeners>
<add name="myListener"
type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="TextWriterOutput.log" />
<remove name="Default" />
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
</configuration>
This is for system events log: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.eventlogtracelistener.aspx
