I am working with error logging using ELMAH and I succeeded plugging ELMAH in our application in local. I have followed the steps mentioned here Logging Error Details with ELMAH (C#) . I have some inquiries regarding that. I would like to ask the retention of the logs if we push that in higher environment. Since ELMAH is an open-source error logging library, what data or information are being sent to the ELMAH creator? Can we modify the columns in ELMAH such as adding another column?

I would like to ask the retention of the logs if we push that in higher environment.

According to the link you provided there are several log providers like SQL Server or XML. The logs will exist in the environment that you configured. The community has no idea how your higher environments are setup.

Since ELMAH is an open-source error logging library, what data or information are being sent to the ELMAH creator?

As far as I know, nothing is sent to the ELMAH creator. Run a trace on your machine to make sure there are no outbound requests to the ELMAH creator. You can also take a look at the source code.

Can we modify the columns in ELMAH such as adding another column?

You have the source code and can make modifications to suite your needs. Just do a Google search for examples.

If you have a actual .NET Core problem then share your code and explain the problem. Otherwise ELMAH support is a better place to ask questions about ELMAH.
